I have been amazed at the immediate interest generated by the International Green Construction Code (IGCC).  

Despite the fact that the IGCC is still in its infancy, there are a number of states and municipalities closely studying it for adoption.  We have already discussed Rhode Island’s adoption of IGCC for public buildings.  More significantly, legislation was introduced in Maryland just a few days ago to allow statewide adoption of the IGCC.  

Based on the interest in IGCC, I have teamed up with BasicGov and Bob Kobet to present a free webinar related to green building code adoption:

“The Reality of Implementing Green Building Programs in Your City”

The webinar is FREE and will take place on February 23 at 2 pm eastern.  During the webinar we will cover the following topics:

  • The basics of IGCC
  • Best practices for implementation of green building codes
  • Problems that have arisen in jurisdictions that have adopted green building codes

I hope you can join us.  And please pass on the webinar information to your favorite city official or planner.
