On the contrary, volunteer government officials with experience and expertise exercise by far the most control in the process." The ICC, in response to a Congressional inquiry, vehemently denied the characterization of the agreement, noting, "While home builders are among partners, they do not have disproportionate control of the Code Council’s model code development process. However, a 2019 New York Times story revealed a secret agreement with the National Association of Home Builders that allowed the industry group, which represents the construction industry, to limit improvements in the code that would make buildings more environmentally sustainable and resistant to natural disasters, prompting a congressional investigation. The code provisions are intended to protect public health and safety while avoiding both unnecessary costs and preferential treatment of specific materials or methods of construction. The IBC is fully compatible with all other published ICC codes.
The IBC addresses both health and safety concerns for buildings based upon prescriptive and performance related requirements. It has been adopted for use as a base code standard by most jurisdictions in the United States. The International Building Code ( IBC) is a model building code developed by the International Code Council (ICC).
