Provides the most contemporary requirements for designers, policy makers, and the construction community
WASHINGTON and ATLANTA — The International Code Council (ICC) and ASHRAE have partnered to publish 2015 WEP: Water Efficiency Provisions of the International Green Construction Code. The organizations said the publication is a complete code resource on water conservation and efficiency. It includes water-related International Green Construction Code (IgCC) provisions to support jurisdictions facing critical water challenges and drought.
“The updated WEP provides the most contemporary requirements for designers, policy makers, and the construction community who are looking for ways to deal with severe droughts and the need to better conserve one of life’s most precious resources — water,” said Dominic Sims, CBO, chief executive officer of the ICC. “The WEP provides a concise and comprehensive resource to address the challenges associated with water scarcity.”
