In July, the Virginia Board of Housing and Community Development voted in favor of adopting a recommendation to update the Uniform Statewide Building Code (USBC) to reference the 2009 IECC (it currently references the 2006 IECC). The DHCD will hold a public meeting on Monday, January 25 at 10:00am in Glen Allen, at which it will receive public comments on the proposed USBC update. The Board is scheduled to review and finalize adoption of the proposed code changes during the first six months of 2010, with a tentative effective date of September 30, 2010.
