作为其对安全和可持续建筑的承诺的一部分国际委员会宣布关于国际绿色施工代码（IGCC）的公共版本1.0的公众评论听证会。听证会是守则委员会政府共识代码开发过程的下一步，这将导致发布2012年IGCC。1.0版继续作为寻求修改现有代码或编写调节绿色建筑的新代码的司法管辖区的资源工具。
听证会将在8月14日至22日在芝加哥郊区威斯汀（Rosemont，Ill。）。推荐进行高级注册参加听证会。公众意见，可在5月14日之前提交，将作为听证会的议程。评论将于7月2日发布。
Comments received and testimony presented to a hearing committee at the August hearings will be the basis for Public Version 2.0 of the IGCC, scheduled for release in November. Version 2.0 will serve as the next version for code change submittals, due Jan. 3, and will be considered at May 2011 code development hearings. The final action hearings will be held in November 2011.
调节新建和现有商业建筑的IGCC，旨在显着降低能源使用情况。它解决了现场开发和土地利用，包括保护自然和物质资源。该守则的执行将改善室内空气质量，并支持使用节能器具，可再生能源系统，水资源保护，雨水收集和分配系统，以及使用过的水（灰水）的恢复。
IGCC强调建筑性绩效，包括建立系统性能验证和建立所有者教育的要求等功能，以确保最佳可持续惯例。新代码的一个关键特征是致力于“司法管辖权要求”和“项目选修课”的部分，这些部分将允许根据其基线规定定制代码，以解决当地优先事项和条件。
The IGCC initiative was launched with Cooperating Sponsors the American Institute of Architects (AIA) and ASTM International. The IGCC references the ANSI/ASHRAE/USGBC/IES Standard 189.1-2009 for the Design of High-Performance Green Buildings, Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings—developed by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) and the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES)—as an alternative jurisdictional compliance option within the IGCC.
The IGCC addresses residential construction by referencing the ICC 700-2008 National Green Building Standard developed by the National Association of Home Builders and the Code Council.
