The December 2011 and January 2012 issues of dpdINFO provided some insight on The International Green Construction Code (IGCC), the IGCC’s relationship to LEED, and how these tools can be used as building blocks from which Seattle may continue to develop higher performance codes.
Throughout 2012, DPD will host informal discussion sessions to share Seattle’s approach to high performance code development, highlight concepts being considered for the upcoming code cycle, and to hear your questions, ideas, and feedback. Our first session will be held on Thursday, February 9th, where an overview of the broader list of green standards and tools such as the ICC-700 or ASHRAE 189.1 will be provided. We’ll also discuss some of the climate protection priorities set by Mayor and Council which help to provide guidance to DPD’s code development process.
Meeting details:
Thursday, February 9th
2:30 p.m. – 3:30 p.m.
Room 4086, Seattle Municipal Tower
700 5th Avenue, Seattle
