SUMMARY:Natural Building Codes In the USA – Update and Overview
DESCRIPTION:Until 2015 there were no provisions for natural building in the U.S. national model building codes, other than an outdated legacy code for adobe, and otherwise a handful of regional codes. That changed with the inclusion of Appendix S – Strawbale Construction, and Appendix R – Light Straw-Clay in the 2015 International Residential Code (IRC). The IRC is the basis for the residential code in 49 of the 50 U.S. states. That was followed by appendices on Cob (Monolithic Adobe), Hemp-Lime Construction (Hempcrete), and a related appendix for Tiny Houses, as well as updates for Adobe in the International Building Code (IBC).\nMartin Hammer, David Eisenberg, and Anthony Dente have been at the forefront of this effort to gain wider acceptance and ensure proper use of natural building materials and systems in the U.S. They will take you through this journey, give an overview of the current codes and how to use them, and discuss what’s in process now and what could be next. Never has the need been greater for broad access to natural building codes, as healthy alternatives to decades of building practices that have contributed to environmental degradation and accelerating climate change. Their work with a wide array of colleagues has sought to meet this need.\n
