The International Code Council released a draft of its 2024 International Energy Conservation Code for commercial buildings Sept. 6, with public comment through Oct. 31.
Judging from the court docket, there’s been a four-month period of comparative legal silence in the copyright violation lawsuit by the International Code Council, which publishes the model building code widely used in North America, against UpCodes, a San Francisco-based company that provides searchable databases of published state and local building codes and related tools for designers.
The release this month of the 2018 edition of the International Green Construction Code marks the first time two sustainability standards developers have joined to foster green buildings and streamline code adoption.
