NAHB, ICC and ASHRAE Partner for 2015 Green Building Standard

The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), ASHRAE building science society and the International Code Council (ICC), developers of the ICC Family of Codes for the built environment, have joined to develop the 2015 edition of the ICC/ASHRAE 700 National Green Building Standard. This is the third edition of the standard and the first time that ASHRAE has partnered on its development.

"ASHRAE's participation is welcome news for the home building industry," said Kevin Kelly, NAHB chairman, a home builder and developer in Wilmington, Del. "This cements the position of the National Green Building Standard as the preeminent green standard for residential construction."
