“Adopting these I-Codes® helps modernize Ohio’s building regulatory system, supports growth in manufacturing and improves the health and safety of Ohio cities,” said Code Council Chief Executive Officer Dominic Sims, CBO. “We applaud Ohio’s Board of Building Standards for prioritizing and leveraging building codes to protect public safety.”
This update is a direct result of Governor DeWine’s and Lt Governor Husted’s initiative to reform the Ohio Administrative Code (OAC) and aims to maintain the safety of current buildings and ensure the safety, affordability and sustainability of new ones.
Building codes establish the minimum requirements to ensure safe and resilient structures, and benefits of adoption include cost reduction and casualty prevention. By embracing the 2021 I-Codes®, Ohio sets a precedent for other states to evaluate current codes and practices and to adopt updated codes that promote safety, resilience and sustainability in the built environment.
Adoption of these codes will go into effect in Ohio on March 1, 2024. Read the 2024 Ohio Building, Mechanical and Plumbing Code Rules here.

The International Code Council is monitoring Hurricane Lee as it continues to track northward through the Atlantic this week. Hurricane Lee is expected to make landfall during the evening of Saturday, September 16, into Sunday, September 17. The track of Hurricane Lee serves as an important reminder that hurricanes can affect New England, and that preparation is a key factor in personal and community safety.
Tropical storm force winds from Hurricane Lee may extend upward to 250 miles out from the center of the storm. If you live in the forecast area, it’s important to prepare now:
Check/replace emergency supplies and store bottled drinking water.
Review evacuation plans.
Keep a supply of flashlights and extra batteries handy.
Clean storm gutters and drains.
Prepare your home for high winds and rain.
Repair/replace storm shutters.
Check your property insurance policy for appropriate coverage.
Disaster Recovery Resource for Building Safety Professionals
When disasters strike, codes and standards serve as a baseline for the return to safe, sanitary, and habitable buildings. Code officials and their floodplain management counterparts rely on support from emergency managers and community leaders to help secure the critical resources needed to ensure the health, safety, and welfare of the community. To that end, FEMA has adisaster recovery policy specifically aimed at providing much-needed assistance for code officials and floodplain managers during disaster response and initial recovery for up to 180 days following a major disaster declaration. Learn how to apply for building code administration and enforcement assistance here. This policy, administered under FEMA’s program, offers reimbursement for critical community functions such as building code administration, code enforcement, floodplain management administration and enforcement, and conducting substantial damage survey inspections in affected communities.

Throughout the current cycle, ICC committees have been put in place to study specific technical issues and participate in the ICC Code Development Process. Below is a list of current committees and a link to their respective web pages:
Washington, D.C. – The International Code Council announced this week that Jordana Rubel has joined its staff as General Counsel. Rubel will oversee the organization’s legal matters with a particular emphasis on preserving and protecting its intellectual property rights.
Joining the Code Council from the United States Copyright Office where she held the title of Assistant General Counsel, Rubel has extensive experience in copyright litigation and trademark cases. Prior to that, Rubel was an associate with several D.C.-area law firms where she litigated copyright and trademark cases in federal court. Rubel holds a Juris Doctor (J.D.) from Emory University School of Law, as well as degrees from both Harvard University and Haverford College.
“We are pleased to welcome Jordana to the Code Council,” said Code Council Chief Executive Officer Dominic Sims, CBO. “We are confident the expertise and knowledge Jordana brings will play a vital role in enhancing our copyright protection, which is critical to the continuation of developing codes and standards.”
The Code Council can only operate at its highest potential through revenues derived from the publication, sale, and licensing of standards, which is made possible by the protection of copyright laws. Without copyright protection for codes and standards, resource-limited government agencies would have to undertake the difficult and expensive task of replicating the current code development system. This system operates with openness, transparency and balance, and has been highly effective in protecting public health and safety.
“After over 15 years of litigating copyright and trademark cases in federal court, I am thrilled to bring my experience to the Code Council and help continue its legacy of ensuring the safety of the built environment for future generations to come,” said Rubel.
More information on the importance of copyright protection can be found here.

Washington, D.C. – The International Code Council recently appointed Tom Roberts as the new Director of Plumbing Mechanical and Fuel Gas (PMG) Global. In this new position, Roberts will focus on identifying opportunities pertaining to emerging technologies, plumbing designs and installation practices outside of North America.
Roberts is a highly respected technical expert in the international building safety community with over a decade of experience in the development of policy, codes and standards. Roberts comes to the International Code Council from the Australian Building Codes Board, the Australian Government body responsible for the National Construction Code in Australia as well as the WaterMark® and CodeMark® product certification schemes used in Oceania.
“The importance of PMG codes extends to all corners of the world, as they provide vital standards and guidelines that ensure the safety, resiliency and sustainability of diverse building safety systems,” said International Code Council CEO Dominic Sims, CBO. “Tom’s expertise and deep industry knowledge will play a crucial role in highlighting the significance of the International Codes, while also broadening the Code Council’s support and resources to communities across the globe.”

Low-Carbon Alternative Cements Consensus Committee (IS-LCCC)
ICC 1155 Standard for Low-Carbon Alternative Cements Used in Concrete
The first edition of ICC 1155 is being developed under the Code Council’s ANSI Accredited Consensus Procedures.
The Code Council is developing this new performance standard for the assessment of low-carbon alternative cements used in concrete. The cement industry is responsible for about 8% of the CO2 emissions for the globe. With the increased attention to the effects of global CO2 production, there is a need for low carbon alternative cement that has the proper physical properties in accordance with model building codes and the referenced standards within. A standard will provide requirements for those physical properties that could be referenced in the International Building Code (IBC).
A call for committee has been posted to solicit committee members of various interest categories to create balance on the committee in accordance with ANSI’s Essential Requirements. The ICC Board of Directors will make all final appointments.
The Code Council adheres to openness and transparency in our Standards development process. All ICC Standards committee meetings are open to the public. Any interested party can participate in committee meetings and can be considered by the committee for membership on any work-group that the committee creates.
Please contact the staff secretariat, Will Utsey, P.E., Regional VP of Engineering, wutsey@icc-es.org if you wish to be placed on the "interested party" list and receive information on how to participate in the public committee meetings or join a work group created by the committee.
