Call for Committee: Low-Carbon Alternative Cements Consensus Committee

The International Code Council is currently seeking stakeholders including, but not limited to, code officials, design professionals and installers to volunteer for the Low-Carbon Alternative Cements Consensus Committee (IS-LCCC).

As an ANSI accredited standards developing organization, the Code Council is developing a new performance standard for the assessment of low-carbon alternative cements used in concrete. The cement industry is responsible for about eight percent of the CO2 emissions for the globe. With the increased attention to the effects of global CO2 production, there is a need for low carbon alternative cement that has the proper physical properties in accordance with model building codes and the referenced standards within. A standard will provide requirements for those physical properties that could be referenced in the International Building Code® (IBC).

Once appointed, this committee will convene to develop the new ICC 1155 –202X: Standard for Low-Carbon Alternative Cements used in Concrete. This performance standard would assess low-carbon alternative cement properties and its effects on concrete mechanical and durability properties based upon the ICC-ES Acceptance Criteria for Low-Carbon Alternative Cements for use in Concrete (AC529).

The deadline for applications is January 16, 2024. Click here to apply.

Why You Should Consider Applying for a Committee

Code Council standards are developed to address building industry and societal challenges. Participating in this committee will help shape the standards used to ensure safe, affordable and sustainable buildings and communities worldwide.

The Code Council’s standards impact the lives of approximately 2 billion people and support over 50 countries globally.
