"Code Talkers: Seeing Eye-to-Eye on I-Codes"
Author: Peterson, Dana; Waymire, Sam

September 2014 saw the formation of APPA’s I-Codes Work Group which will monitor, assess, and ultimately influence the relevant activities of the International Codes Council (ICC). This is an exciting development and marks the first time that APPA members will have the opportunity to collaborate and propose changes to codes and standards promulgated by the ICC. International codes (often shortened to I-Codes) are model codes published by the ICC that are suitable for easy adoption by states or municipalities. Organized under the leadership of the APPA Standards and Codes Council (ASCC), the Work Group seeks to propose changes and formally recommend new language for the International Building Code and other “Group A Codes” that are now up for public review. It is the goal of the Work Group to offer recommendations reflecting broad consensus among APPA members, and that directly support the activities of the higher education sector. The Work Group will also promote I-Code awareness among APPA’s member institutions, serving as a venue wherein members can learn more about the impact of both pending and existing ICC standards and codes.
