NAHB Members Invited to Participate in Fall Board Forum on ICC Code Process

Association members attending the upcoming fall board meeting in Milwaukee will have an opportunity to discuss their concerns over the code development process — including changes that mandate fire sprinklers in one- and two-family homes and increase the energy efficiency requirements for all housing — with the International Code Council (ICC) leadership and NAHB’s Construction, Codes & Standards (CC&S) Committee. 

“Building Codes — Future Strategies” Forum
1:30-3:00 p.m.
Friday, Sept. 9
Room 102 C (street level)
Frontier Airlines Center
Milwaukee

At the “Building Codes — Future Strategies” forum, the committee will discuss its draft recommendations on the future strategies NAHB should be pursuing, and it will be soliciting input from members.

Also participating in the forum, ICC President James L. Brothers will discuss how the ICC board is responding to concerns raised by NAHB and other industry representatives. All NAHB members are encouraged to attend.

For more information, email Ed Sutton at NAHB, or call him at 800-368-5242 x8564.
