Stretch codes or green codes provide criteria above minimum requirements but allow for consistency and guidance for designers and code officials.Ĭodes are developed with the intent of being adopted by a jurisdiction as criteria for design, construction, or operation of buildings. They have had to address a myriad of new technologies and design concepts and have expanded beyond health and safety requirements to include other societal values such as accessibility, energy efficiency, indoor air quality, and sustainability.Ĭodes and standards typically serve as minimum requirements for many of the high-performance building attributes. DescriptionĬodes have increased in stringency since the early focus on loss of life and property. The primary focus at that time was to avoid loss of property and loss of life. Significant fires in Chicago and Baltimore and a San Francisco earthquake in the late 19th and early 20th centuries spurred further development of codes for the design and construction of buildings, efforts fostered by the insurance industry. Those codes were imported to the new world and formed the basis for city codes as the U.S. 1 Codes were developed and adopted in Europe as it was settled and evolved over many decades. The concept of building codes goes as far back as Hammurabi (circa 1772 BCE) who established a performance-based code with strict penalties for noncompliance. Such codes and standards have long served as the main tool of governments in setting agreed-upon norms in a jurisdiction. Codes and standards provide a common language and requirements for the design, construction, and operations of buildings.
