Background – Reviewing the ICC Performance Code for Buildings and Facilities (ICCPC)

The International Code Council is undertaking a review of the ICC Performance Code for Buildings and Facilities (ICCPC), a code that was first developed in the 1996-2000 code cycle and has very few revisions since. The process will entail an internal review of the ICCPC in its current form and a comparison with other performance-based building codes currently in use around the world. Following this initial exercise, a proposed outline for an updated and renewed ICCPC will be developed and circulated to interested stakeholders for input. The Code Council plans to sponsor a series of discussion forums to solicit input and engagement to determine how to best proceed to create a more updated, comprehensive, and robust performance code that will be more attractive for adoption by a wide range of jurisdictions around the world.
