Feb. 22, 2013: Comment Sought on New Compilation of Building Codes and Standards
WASHINGTON — The National Institute of Building Sciences (NIBS) National Council of Governments on Building Codes and Standards (NCGBCS) is calling for public comment on the content of a new code taxonomy of building codes and standards. Code officials; codes and standards developers; federal, state, and local agencies; architects, engineers, and contractors; consumer advocates; and others are all encouraged to provide input by the March 8 deadline.
This compilation of codes and standards relating to the built environment is intended to serve as a resource when educating the industry, government, and the public about the regulations and referenced documents that are used when constructing buildings and facilities.
