合作发起人:美国建筑师协会（AIA）ASTM International ASHREU。美国绿色建筑委员会（USGBC）照明工程学会（IES）IgCC是:IgCC是第一个包括整个建设项目及其现场可持续性措施的示范规范，从设计到施工、入住证书及其他。新法规有望提高建筑效率，减少浪费，并对健康、安全和社区福利产生积极影响。IgCC提供:基线绿色要求IgCC为新建和现有建筑创建了监管框架，为建筑制定了最低绿色要求，并补充了可能超出IgCC可定制基线的自愿评级系统。 该规范覆盖了现有的一套国际规范，包括《国际节能规范》和国家绿色建筑标准ICC-700的规定，并纳入了ASHRAE标准189.1，作为遵守的替代途径。经济效益根据美国绿色建筑委员会的绿色就业研究，绿色建筑创造就业机会并促进经济增长。此外，根据全球建筑咨询公司Davis Langdon的研究，与非绿色建筑相比，绿色建筑的平均寿命周期成本没有显著差异。国际商会目前正在提供IgCC关键要素的专业发展和技术支持培训、认证考试和承包商测试，并正在开发其他专业发展和技术支持材料。

Cooperating Sponsors:American Institute of Architects (AIA)ASTM InternationalASHRAEU.S. Green Building Council (USGBC)Illuminating Engineering Society (IES)The IgCC is:The IgCC is the first model code that includes sustainability measures for the entire construction project and its site - from design through construction, certificate of occupancy and beyond. The new code is expected to make buildings more efficient, reduce waste, and have a positive impact on health, safety and community welfare.The IgCC provides:Baseline Green RequirementsThe IgCC creates a regulatory framework for new and existing buildings, establishing minimum green requirements for buildings and complementing voluntary rating systems which may extend beyond the customizable baseline of the IgCC. The code acts as an overlay to the existing set of International Codes, including provisions of the International Energy Conservation Code and ICC-700, the National Green Building Standard, and incorporates ASHRAE Standard 189.1 as an alternate path to compliance.Economic BenefitsGreen construction creates jobs and contributes to economic growth according, according to the U.S. Green Building Council Green Jobs Study. In addition, there is no significant difference in the average life cycle cost for green buildings as compared to non-green buildings, according to research by the global construction consultants firm Davis Langdon.Professional Development & Technical SupportTraining, certification exams and contractor testing on the key elements of the IgCC are currently being offered by ICC, with additional professional development and technical support materials under development.
