ICC has also worked to elevate training opportunities available for the energy evaluation and compliance sectors. Comprehensive Model Code Rollout and Support Streamlining Code Adoption
Republic of the Marshall Islands – National Building Code Review
The Republic of the Marshall Islands engaged ICC in 2019 to create a new National Building Code based on the 2018 IBC. ICC adjusted the IBC to include key requirements for plumbing, mechanical, and residential construction from other model I-Codes. ICC also strengthened administrative, management, and technical provisions to align the code with the nation’s priorities: adaptation, resilient growth, and long term sustainable planning. ICC was again contracted by the Ministry in 2025 to improve compliance with the building code. A workshop was provided to policy makers and government officials, in addition to technical training for building officials.
U.S. Department of Energy – Remote Virtual Inspection Protocol
The U.S. DOE partnered with ICC to develop the nation’s first comprehensive protocol for remote virtual energy code inspections for low rise residential buildings. Focused on the 2018 and 2021 IECC, this project delivers a practical, step-by-step framework that enables building officials to verify energy code compliance without requiring on-site presence. Working in collaboration with the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and a broad set of industry stakeholders, ICC created a scalable, future forward solution that increases efficiency, expands inspection capacity, and helps jurisdictions maintain high quality enforcement even amid workforce and logistical constraints.
U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) – Unified Facilities Criteria
Since 2012, ICC and its structural engineering subsidiary, S. K. Ghosh Associates, have provided the Department of Defense with expert consultation rooted in the International Building Codes. Our team developed specialized structural and earthquake engineering provisions for the Unified Facilities Criteria, including UFC 3 301 01 and UFC 3 301 02, which govern some of the nation’s most critical military assets. Through continued partnership, ICC delivers code based engineering requirements that address unique needs, ensuring the safety, resilience, and performance of defense infrastructure.
Caribbean Regional Energy Efficiency Building Code (CREEBC) Initiative
ICC partnered with CARICOM and the CARICOM Regional Organization for Standards and Quality (CROSQ) to develop and implement the CREEBC. The code has already been adopted – or is under active consideration – by multiple Caribbean nations seeking to reduce energy costs, strengthen building performance, and advance climate resilient development. ICC engaged regional authorities, technical experts, and industry leaders to create specialized training programs and credentialing pathways built specifically for Caribbean practitioners. 
U.S. State and Local Jurisdictions
ICC actively works closely with 19 states and 10 local jurisdictions to develop customer versions of its I-Codes that are better tailored to those jurisdictions’ specific needs. Notable ICC initiatives resulting in custom codes include California, New York State and New York City.
The ICC Family of Solutions also offers consulting services that assist jurisdictions with codification of their municipal codes, as well as providing digitization services that allow authorities to better serve their communities through utilization of the latest digital technologies and platforms.
Bangladesh – National Building Code Institutional Capacity Assessment
Under a three year World Bank-funded contract, ICC assessed the institutional capacity of the Government of Bangladesh to implement its updated National Building Code. Working closely with RAJUK, Bangladesh’s Capital Development Authority, ICC evaluated enforcement systems, organizational processes, and code administration capabilities.
The result: measurable improvements in national code enforcement and enhanced capacity to support safe, resilient urban development in one of the world’s fastest growing regions.
National Renewable Energy Laboratory and SolarAPP+ Foundation – SolarAPP+ Engagement
ICC partnered with the U.S. DOE’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory and later the SolarAPP+ Foundation to educate building safety stakeholders on SolarAPP+, an automated online permitting platform for rooftop solar. ICC’s state and local team engaged with building officials, architects, builders, and engineers. Through effective outreach and cross stakeholder coordination, ICC helped communities leverage this platform to speed the permitting process. 
Code Official Digitization and Efficiency Support (CODES)
The CODES project – led by ICC in collaboration with key industry partners – advances the transition from paper based to electronic code enforcement, with a strong focus on supporting resource constrained municipalities. Guided by stakeholder input, the initiative identifies barriers to digital adoption and delivers targeted training and workforce development resources to help jurisdictions streamline processes, improve inspection efficiency, and strengthen overall code compliance.

State of Ohio – Board of Building Standards
ICC provided an independent, data driven review of statewide building code enforcement practices. ICC's analysis evaluated state personnel qualifications, hiring practices, and compensation models, as well as permitting fee structures against national and regional trends—identifying opportunities and best practices. ICC delivered a comprehensive, actionable report supporting Ohio’s commitment to consistent, effective building safety across all jurisdictions.
National Institute of Building Sciences (NIBS)
ICC offers its expertise and consulting services to a number of national and regional organizations, such as NIBS, to conduct research into various aspects of the building safety industry. Past research projects between ICC and NIBS include evaluation of the effects of the exodus of building officials from the workforce as they retire and a study on how building codes help mitigate the effects from natural hazards.
Abu Dhabi International Building Codes Development
ICC responded to Abu Dhabi and licensed content for use in the development and publication of Abu Dhabi building codes. Our expert technical staff provided extensive training and support services in the areas of structural design and fire and life safety. We continue to provide training, consulting, and other support services to the Middle East and North Africa Region (MENA Region) through our Dubai office.
Residential Energy Services Network (RESNET)
