Given the challenges and limited financial resources available for building departments as cited in the Code Council's ongoing survey of U.S. code officials response to the pandemic, the implementation of remote virtual inspections can also save jurisdictions time and money as there is no longer a need for inspectors to travel to and from sites.

Updated codes enhance safety, increase affordability and incorporate the latest advancements in building science.

Jay and Kristy Egg will present, 'Legionella Primer; Where Are We Headed?'

Exploring the role building codes play in our day-to-day lives, this international campaign raises awareness about building safety and the importance of building codes in making communities safer and more resilient.

In his new role, Tomberlin will strategically facilitate the adoption and implementation of the International Plumbing Code, International Mechanical Code, International Fuel Gas Code and International Swimming Pool and Spa Code in communities across the United States and around the world.

The International Code Council is offering a free webinar series and how-to documents for building and fire departments to transition to a virtual work environment.

The survey collects trends, ideas, solutions and best practices from code officials about how they are keeping up with new building permits and new construction during the pandemic months. 

The event will feature building safety training from industry experts, educational sessions, networking and more.
