Introduction

Internationally, code officials recognize the need for a modern, up-to-date code governing the impact of buildings and structures on the environment. The 2015 edition of the International Green Construction Code (^®IgCC^®) is designed to meet this need through model code regulations that contain clear and specific requirements with provisions that promote safe and sustainable construction in an integrated fashion with the ICC Family of Codes. The 2015 Water Efficiency Provisions of the International Green Construction Code^® (WEP-IgCC) document collects the provisions related to the efficient use of water, water conservation and water management into a compact, standalone document. It is ideal for users who wish to rapidly and economically deploy the most advanced water efficiency code, providing real water savings without sacrificing flexibility or ease of use.
