Request for Participation: Promoting Housing Affordability through I-Codes
The International Code Council (ICC) recently established an Advisory Committee for the Housing Affordability Study: Promoting Housing Affordability through the I-Codes. This initiative is currently in the information gathering phase, and AIA strongly encourages your participation.
As an architect, your voice is essential to ensuring that affordable housing strategies remain grounded in design excellence, This study, led by Clemson University, Western Michigan University, and San Jose State University, evaluates how the I-Codes impact housing costs and delivery.
Specifically, this initiative seeks to assess the International Residential Code (IRC) to identify revisions that:
- Reduce costs and simplify the code without compromising life safety;
- Improve clarity and implementation in the field; and
- Enhance overall quality and accessibility.
Please take a moment to complete the questionnaire to ensure the architect's perspective is represented in this critical national study: Qualtrics Survey | Qualtrics Experience Management
In addition, please pass this survey along if you know someone who should participate.
Thank you,
