Designing Green by the Book: The IGCC [G9]

The International Green Construction Code, to be published in 2012, adds a whole new element to the construction world by incorporating environmental goals into enforceable code language. This session will describe the areas of the code that affect structural materials and will also look at other prevalent green codes and standards, such as CALGreen and ASHRAE 189.1, and how they all treat materials differently. In addition, updates to the next version of LEED, also due in 2012, will be discussed.
