ASSE is urging supporters
of residential fire sprinklers to spread the word and vote at the International
Code Council’s upcoming hearing on Oct. 28, 2009, in Baltimore, MD.
FEMA's US
Fire Administration has announced its support of the 2009 International
Residential Code, which mandates the installation of fire sprinklers in all new
homes beginning in 2011.
The International Code Council launched its International
Green Construction Code (IGCC) initiative, which it hopes will reduce energy
usage and the carbon footprint of commercial buildings.
