Environment Committee 4/15/25: Code Enforcement and Adoption for Sustainability

Building codes are more than rules—they're essential tools for creating safer, more resilient communities. From boosting energy efficiency to integrating clean energy technologies, codes and standards like the National Electrical Code (NEC), International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), International Residential Code (IRC), and International Building Code (IBC) have evolved over the years to meet modern challenges like extreme weather and energy demands. At this Environment Committee meeting, speakers discussed the code development and adoption process in Illinois and how staying up to date with code editions can benefit communities.
