International Code Council - From the ICC GR Monthly Update - July 2020
Code Council and RESNET water rating index standard approved by ANSI
The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) has announced that it has approved the RESNET/ICC Standard 850-2020. This new ANSI standard sets the technical specifications for the inspection, testing and labeling of a home’s water efficiency. The release of this standard comes at a time when water resources are becoming increasingly strained in many parts of the country with the cost of water prices increasing faster than that of energy prices. The potential for water cost savings through water efficiency measures is available in nearly all regions of the U.S. The ANSI/RESNET/ICC Standard 850-2020 will also serve as the technical requirements for RESNET’s residential water efficiency rating system, known as HERSH2O. The national roll-out of HERSH2O will be announced soon with additional information available at RESNET HERSH2O. More information is included here.
