The implementation of various provisions in the following publications may contribute to a greener built environment, especially when used in conjunction with a green building rating system or standard:
- International Code Council Performance Code (ICCPC) - Can serve as a guideline to the approval process for alternative materials and methods.
- International Plumbing Code (IPC) - Contains provisions for gray water recycling systems.
- International Existing Building Code (IEBC) - Where adopted, the IEBC can often be used as a less stringent alternative to the International Building Code for repairs, alterations and additions to, as well as the relocation of existing buildings, thereby extending their service life.
