USGBC Codes Committee

Codes Committee

The Codes Committee was established to address the regulatory barriers to high-performance green building and development.  We do not seek to undermine or conflict with the life safety goals of building codes.  Rather, we seek to promote a deeper acknowledgement of the risks associated with the built environment and to address all the responsibilities involved in safeguarding public health, safety and welfare in relation to those risks.
