1 GG , , Appendix E (New), E101.1 (New) Proponent: Brenda Thompson, Clark County Development Services, Las Vegas, NV, representing Chair, Sustainability, Energy & High Performance Building Code Action Committee (SEHPCAC) (SEHPCAC@iccsafe.org) Revise as follows: General. Where application is made for as described in this section, the registered design professional in responsible charge or approved agency shall perform during after as required by Table Where Table specifies that is to be done on a periodic basis, the registered design professional in responsible charge shall provide a schedule of periodic with the submittal documents that shall be reviewed and approved by the code official. The approved agency shall be qualified and shall demonstrate competence, to the satisfaction of the code official, for the of the particular type of or operation. The registered design professional in responsible charge and engineers of record involved in the design of the project are permitted to act as the approved agency provided those personnel meet the qualification requirements of this section to the satisfaction of the code official. The approved agency shall provide written documentation to the code official demonstrating competence and relevant experience or training. Experience or training shall be considered relevant where the documented experience or training is related in complexity to the same type of activities for projects of similar complexity and material qualities.

7 Reason: This proposal was submitted by the ICC Sustainability Energy and High Performance Code Action Committee (SEHPCAC). The SEHPCAC was established by the ICC Board of Directors to pursue opportunities to improve and enhance International Codes with regard to sustainability, energy and high performance as it relates to the built environment included, but not limited to, how these criteria relate to the International Green Construction Code (IgCC) and the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC). This includes both the technical aspects of the codes as well as the code content in terms of scope and application of referenced standards. In 2012 and 2013, the SEHPCAC has held six two-day open meetings and 50 workgroup calls, which included members of the SEHPCAC as well as any interested parties, to discuss and debate proposed changes and public comments. Related documentation and s are posted on the SEHPCAC website at: This proposal removes all of the post-certificate of requirements from Table and places them in a separate new appendix. That leaves only the that occurs at or certificate of in Chapter 9. Many jurisdictions find the post-certificate of requirements excessive and hesitate to adopt the IgCC on that basis. This proposal will improve adoptions, but leave an alternative in the code for those jurisdictions that find the post-certificate of requirements valuable. Cost Impact: Will not increase the cost of GG : TABLE THOMPSON938 GG483
