Oct. 26, 2006: International Code Council Takes Action on ASHRAE Proposals
ATLANTA - International building codes may soon incorporate new requirements from American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) standards, thanks to several recent proposals now under consideration.
ASHRAE made several proposals to the International Code Council, which develops model codes that may be adopted by code jurisdictions in the United States or internationally. After a public review of the proposals, final hearings for the code change proposals take place May 21-22, 2007. If the proposals are accepted, they would be included in the 2007 code supplement.
