IGCC Public Version 1.0 Now Available for Public Review
ASTM International Is an Original Co-Sponsor of the Code
The first version of the International Green Construction Code initiative, subtitled "Safe and Sustainable by the Book," is now available for public view and comment.
The IGCC was launched in 2009 by the International Code Council with original co-sponsors ASTM International and the American Institute of Architects.
