For
builders and their approach to their trade, one thing is certain:
Change is a constant. Becoming more commonplace are governmental
adaptations to improving codes that align with international energy
alliances and an overall push for a more sustainable building approach.
Cities
like Denton, Texas, which had previously followed the International
Energy Conservation Code from 2015, are amending local codes that run in
tandem with the International Code Council’s 2021 guidelines. Area
homebuilders and developers anticipate that larger cities like
Dallas/Fort Worth will soon follow suit.
