Commissioning Provisions of the International Green Construction Code

摘要

IgCC an important first step in holistic high-performance-building design and operation, but falls short in terms of Cx. The International Code Council (ICC) is breaking new ground with the International Green Construction Code (IgCC). Due this spring, it will be the first internationally acknowledged code focused on high-performance buildings. It contains a comprehensive and detailed treatment of high-performance-building strategies, including energy conservation and commissioning (Cx). The IgCC began as a joint venture of the ICC and The American Institute of Architects (AIA) in 2009. The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES), ASHRAE, and ASTM International subsequently lent their support.
