The standards incorporated by reference in Regulation .02-1 of this chapter constitute the Model Performance Code for building construction in the State. If a builder desires to or has been requested to construct a building to the International Green Construction Code (IGCC) standards they may use the IGCC in addition to the other codes in this regulation. The Department encourages home builders to construct new high-performance homes. Copies of these documents are filed in special public depositories located throughout the State. A list of these depositories is available online at dsd.maryland.gov.
