Tee Bridges, of Stones Home Centers in Bainbridge has been appointed to represent The Construction Suppliers Association on the Residential Green Building Code Task Force of the Georgia Department of Community Affairs.
This task force was formed in response to increasing interest and requests by local governments and the building industry. The Department of Community Affairs (DCA), upon authorization by the State Codes Advisory Committee (SCAC), is working to develop a statewide residential green building code. This code will be based on the ICC-700, National Green Building Standard, developed by the International Code Council (ICC) and the National Association of Home Builders
The purpose of the Task Force is to review this code and make recommendations to the SCAC regarding its adoption and the adoption of any supplements and amendments. Upon approval by the SCAC and the DCA Board, this code will take effect on January 1, 2011 as an optional code. Local governments would first have to adopt this code if they choose to enforce it.
CSA is thrilled that Tee will be a part of this task force, helping to shape the future of green building codes in Georgia. Thank you, Tee, for your contribution.
