NAHB’s continual efforts to ensure that building codes promote safety and energy efficiency — but always keeping affordability in mind — were on display in April when the International Code Council (ICC) Group A Committee Action hearings were held in Memphis, Tenn.
Members can be proud of the hard work of the NAHB and volunteer speakers who testified at the hearings: Of the 259 proposals on which the association took a stand, the committees agreed 81% of the time. And only 6% of the proposals that NAHB opposed made it through the committee hearings intact.
