Icc Committee Rejects Nahb Sprinkler Appeal

摘要

An International Code Council special committee voted unanimously on Dec. 11, 2008, to reject an appeal that was filed by the National Association of Home Builders regarding ICC residential fire sprinkler code requirements that were voted on this past September during ICC's final action hearings in Minneapolis.rnGovernmental members supported both proposals, RB64-07/08 and RB66-07/08, requiring fire sprinklers in all new one- and two-family dwellings and townhouses. The townhouse sprinkler requirement was applied upon adoption of the new International Residential Code, and the one- and two-family dwelling sprinkler requirements will be incorporated in the 2009 IRC. The approved codes will become effective Jan. 1, 2011 in jurisdictions that do not amend the codes.
