2015 International Green Construction Code

2015 INTERNATIONAL GREEN CONSTRUCTION CODE

The 2015 International Green Construction Code (IgCC), published by the International Code Council (ICC), provides a comprehensive framework for sustainable building design, construction, and operation. Available through 1 Exam Prep, this resource aligns with green building certification standards and covers energy efficiency, water conservation, and environmental quality within commercial and residential projects. Designed to support contractors, architects, and engineers preparing for state and county licensing exams, the IgCC ensures compliance with eco-friendly construction mandates recognized by regulatory authorities and exam vendors across Florida and other jurisdictions. This code is an essential component of the exam book set used for professional credentialing in the construction and environmental design industries.

The first model code focused on new and existing commercial buildings addressing affordable green building design and performance. The IgCC provides the building industry with language that both broadens and strengthens building codes in a way that will accelerate the construction of high performance, green buildings. It provides a vehicle for jurisdictions to regulate green for the design and performance of new and renovated buildings in a manner that is integrated with existing codes, allowing buildings to reap the rewards of improved design and construction practices. Includes ANSI/ASHRAE/USGBC/IES Standard 189.1-2014 for the Design of High Performance Green Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings as an alternative path of compliance.
