(The ICC sent a 20-page response to the House Committee, which can be found here.) Public comments on a new code development process were solicited, submitted and posted to the ICC website. In the fallout, pressure was applied to ICC’s Board from all sides, including NAHB, efficiency advocates and the U.S. (That’s the nature of an open voting process the final outcome is truly uncertain.) This “running of the table” understandably angered NAHB and their allies, even though an audit found that no rules were broken. Energy efficiency advocates successfully campaigned governmental voting members to vote for efficiency measures… even to the point of approving some proposals that, off the record, they didn’t think would get approved. The reason for this overhaul was that in the 2021 IECC development process, the residential energy code made a sizable jump in efficiency. As they say, the devil is always in the details. On the surface, it doesn’t sound like much has changed. Proposals are still submitted, reviewed and voted on by the committee. The residential committee (which is the scope of this column) is now a consensus committee and has been greatly expanded. It is now following a standards process, yet it retains the word “code” in the name. In case you didn’t read about it here or elsewhere, the IECC development process has undergone an overhaul.

Anyway, while I was researching this column, the line that cites the title of “Where Do We Go From Here?” by Filter started playing between my ears. It’s probably due to my lifelong love of music. This post originally appeared on Green Builder® Media’s Code Watcher.ĭo you ever have a line from a song just pop into your head? I get that… a lot.
