Inspection Sites
The ICC 700 National Green Building Standard® (NGBS) is the first residential green building standard to undergo the full consensus process and receive approval from the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). First developed in 2008, the standard is regularly revised in accordance with the ANSI process. The ICC 700-2020 NGBS is now available for use, and copies of the ICC/ASHRAE 700-2015 NGBS are still available as well.
The standard has been widely implemented over the past decade. It provides architects, builders and developers with a flexible above-code program to design and construct homes and apartments that are sustainable, cost-effective and geographically appropriate.
