Not sure if anyone is following this, but there's an open public comment period underway for the IGCC. I learned today that it is primarily a non-residential-focused (large buildings and schools) code, but that it seems to contain Appendix F, which is residential-focused. Many of you may know far more about this than I.
I'll throw out there that, at least, everyone should be aware of this and consider sending in comments. It will be in place for 3 years, I believe. At best, we might try to pull together a collective set of comments. I realize that this may be a pipe dream as we do not have agreed upon guidance, let alone a consensus standard, for such buildings (although EPA committed to facilitate a process this coming year for schools measurement and mitigation). I
Is anyone willing to try to develop a collective set of comments? I'd offer up Phil Jalbert, but we are swamped with follow-up to the federal radon summit and comments are due very soon. Because of the due date it may be easiest just to comment separately.
Here's a link to the standard:
