International Code Council Committee Meets in Florida to Discuss
Development of International Green Construction Code 	


WHAT: Bonita Springs, Florida, a suburb of Fort Myers, will be the next
stop for the "IGCC: Safe and Sustainable by the Book" initiative to
develop green construction guidelines for commercial buildings.  The
International Code Council Sustainable Building Technology Committee
(SBTC) will hold its fourth meeting in a five-part series in a national
effort to engage the public and the construction industry on the first
generation of a safe and sustainable building code. The meetings are
open to the public. Media is encouraged to attend.

WHY: The IGCC initiative will develop the first model green construction
code to address new and existing commercial buildings with a focus on
increasing building performance. It will apply to traditional commercial
and high-performance buildings, and will be consistent and coordinated
with the Code Council's family of codes and standards. Results of the
increased building performance driven by IGCC implementation are
expected to include: increased efficiency in use of energy, water,
materials and resources; improved indoor environment quality; education
for building owners and facility managers; and a reduction in overall
carbon emissions. The first draft of the IGCC is expected to be
available for public comments in March.

WHO: SBTC members include building and governmental officials;
architects; designers; engineers; green, standards development,
plumbing, iron and steel, and cement associations; and academia. For a
