The International Code Council wraps up its 45th annual Building Safety Month campaign on a high note by spotlighting the industry’s hottest topics- from groundbreaking developments in artificial intelligence to compelling global trends and more.
Week Five: Going Into Overtime, explains the importance of keeping up with new building safety trends and technologies when it comes to building safety. Learn how building safety professionals can leverage artificial intelligence to help them make quicker and more informed decisions in the field and how updating building codes can reduce utility bills and insurance premiums without impacting housing affordability. This week also details ways the Code Council is actively working with stakeholders around the world to address climate mitigation and emissions reduction.
“It’s essential that we leverage new technology to advance building safety” said Code Council Board President David Spencer, CBO. “Integrating artificial intelligence, modernizing building codes and working to address climate resilience measures will ensure that our structures are safe, affordable and better equipped for the future.”
“The American Gas Association (AGA) is once again proud to be a Foundational Sponsor of the Code Council’s Building Safety Month held each May. AGA has been a leader in advancing safety codes and standards across the industry to help protect customers, communities and employees, while continuing to deliver the reliable energy Americans expect,” said Karen Harbert, AGA president and CEO. “We have an extensive history partnering with the Code Council and our support for Building Safety Month continues to demonstrate that ongoing partnership.”
