The IgCC is a modern, up-to-date model code that governs the environmental impact of commercial buildings. It contains clear and specific requirements with provisions that promote safe and sustainable construction. This comprehensive green code establishes minimum regulations for building systems and site considerations using prescriptive and performance-related provisions.
The IgCC was developed in collaboration through its cosponsors—International Code Council, ASHRAE, U.S Green Building Council, Illuminating Engineering Society, and American Institute of Architects.
