The mission of the Codes and Standards Committee (CSC) is to assist and educate the membership of the GHBA on technical matters relating to residential construction, codes, standards, methods, and procedures for the benefit of the consumers they serve.
The Codes & Standards Committee reviewed and provided comments on changes to a variety of state laws being proposed at the state legislature in Austin in 2005. Members of the CSC also reviewed and offered comments on various code changes being debated at the 2005 International Code Council code meetings. In the wake of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, the CSC formed a windstorm task force to review current code requirements and make any necessary recommendations.
Additionally, the Codes and Standards Committee increased participation through interaction with building officials from several municipalities. The board increased participation of a good cross section of affiliate members whose expertise added quality and information to their work.
The committee also began researching topics and solutions that would benefit and help all GHBA members deliver a better product. |
