The International Code Council released a new framework to assist governments and building industry stakeholders with meeting energy efficiency and greenhouse gas reduction goals.

“Leading the Way to Energy Efficiency: A Path Forward on Energy and Sustainability to Confront a Changing Climate” includes using the Code Council’s American National Standards Institute-approved standards process to update the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC). It has been adopted by The Code Council Board of Directors, which consists of 18 government code officials who were elected by their peers.

The IECC will be developed under a revised scope and be part of a portfolio of greenhouse gas reduction solutions that could address electric vehicles, electrification and decarbonization, integration of renewable energy and energy storage, existing buildings performance standards and more.
