Lots More 'Green' Building Paperwork Coming Soon, Warn Code-Watchers
Coming soon for all members of the building materials supply chain: Lots more paperwork to satisfy more "green-building" codes and standards.
In a couple of years, every segment of the building materials supply chain will have to have information to meet the requirements of three green model codes and energy standards, not simply one, said John P. Cross, a vice president of the Chicago-based American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) at the 2012 North American Steel Construction Conference, held April 18-20 in Grapevine, Texas. The conference, with a record attendance of more than 3,500, incorporated the World Steel Bridge Symposium and the Annual Stability Conference.
