hausdok Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Source: NAHB Nation's Building News Citing a failure of the International Code Council to provide a fair and open voting process at its Final Action Hearings in Minneapolis in September, NAHB has filed an appeal to the ICC to set aside code changes mandating fire sprinklers in all new one- and two-family homes constructed under the 2009 International Residential Code (IRC) and to consider changes that would restore balance to its voting process.

hausdok Posted November 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Hmm, If they're successful in keeping a code requirement for fire sprinkler systems, mayhaps it's time for home inspectors to start learning more about these systems, no?

msteger Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Possibly, and also the various association (NAHI and ASHI) standards of practice will need to be changed to include these, assuming they want to build these into part of the home inspection standards.

hausdok Posted November 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 That reminds me, Has anyone heard about how the new NHIE is going to have sections of swimming pools, spas, and sprinkler systems? What's up with that bullpuckey? Looks like the ICC isn't the only group that's letting itself be influenced by certain groups with their own agenda. OT - OF!!! M.
