VPTechnical-DaveDexterThe weather is great and thoughts of the golf
outing should be in everyone’s head. The June golf outing is just around the corner, so plan now to attend.
Last month, thanks to the efforts of BWA South’s Tim Gleich and Pat McQuillan with Zurn, we enjoyed an interesting presentation on LEED.® LEED® is being considered by more and more owners as a way to get the best long-term value for their construction dollars. While seeking the various LEED® levels of certification can impact a project’s cost, many things can be done to provide a sustainable design without impacting the overall costs. LEED® is here to stay and we all should be looking at ways to conserve the planet’s limited resources. Make your designs sustainable, help reduce the owner’s carbon footprint, reduce costs and make the project an asset to the betterment of society.
This month Rick Daugherty, a senior account executive with Nibco, Inc. will present PEX
systems. He will be discussing the material, installation methods, and value PEX can add to a project.
Remember that this meeting is also our election of the Board. The Board continually needs renewal by bringing officers from the membership into the management of the Chapter. Why not put your name forward to serve your Chapter the membership and the Society! Many of us on the Board serve to assure the Chapter’s continued success and growth. However, those of us who have been involved at the Board level are always willing to step aside to allow new growth opportunities for other members of the Chapter. The Board currently is in need of someone to step up to serve as the Chapter Treasurer. Are you up to the challenge? And speaking for myself and I am sure, other Board members, we will gladly step aside for anyone who desires the Board experience.

Legislative-EricLemanDon’t forget - the effective date for the 2006
Ohio Codes is July 1, 2007 - no “grace period” for enforcement. Get your projects submitted for permitting soon if there is a reason you want to be considered under the “old “code.
There is apparently a bit of confusion with the issuance of the code updates as published by West/Thomson Publishing. When West/Thomson published and sent out the new code sections last month they labeled their packages as “updates”, thus causing some confusion as to whether they were updates for April 07 or, the new July 2007 Code sections. These April 2007 updates are in fact, the new 2007 Ohio codes which take effect July 1, 2007, not April. I got this clarified just today from the Ohio Board of Building Standards.
History and Development of the Ohio Building Code (continued from April 2007 ASPENEWS)
A “new” code was formulated and submitted to the general assembly in 1953 for consideration. The bill, as presented, contained some 8�0 pages. Strong opposition from industry was brought to
bear. The principal objection stemmed from the fact that industry had little opportunity to review the bill prior to public hearings in the legislature and it became evident that promulgating a building code by the statutory process was a nearly impossible task.
In 1955 the Ohio General Assembly passed enabling legislation making it possible to formulate a building code by administrative procedures. This legislation created the Ohio Board of Building Standards to formulate the building code requirements and the Ohio Board of Building Appeals to provide administrative appeal from orders issued by enforcement agencies. In 1973, the Ohio Building Officials Association (OBOA) requested the Board of Building Standards to adopt a national model code in place of the Ohio Building Code (OBC). The OBC had originally been developed by the Board in conjunction with several professors at Case Western University and the University of Akron in the 1950’s. OBOA made this

request because the Board had not continued to update the building code since 1971. After receiving the request, the Board decided that it would explore having the Building Construction Laboratory at Ohio State University update the existing code.
BOCA-BasedCodeAdoptedIn 1976, there was a change in administrations.
OBOA again requested the Board to adopt one of the national model building codes. The Board instructed staff to compare the ICBO uniform code, the BOCA national code, and the SBCCI southern standard code. In 1977, the Board held a series of open hearings (hearings open to the public, but not mandated by the Ohio Administrative Procedures Act) to get input from the building construction industry and from the code enforcement agencies. In 1978, the Board decided to use the BOCA National Building and Mechanical Model Codes. Staff changed those sections of the basic model codes that conflicted with the Ohio Revised Code (statutory law) to bring it into compliance with the General Assembly’s legislation. Rule filings were
LegislativeContinued from page 7
then done in accordance with Sections 119.03 and 119.04, Ohio Revised Code, and a public hearing was held (see attachment chart of rule-making procedures in Ohio). After public hearing, the Board adopted the BOCA codes as the Ohio Basic Building Codes on September 29, 1978. The Board set an effective date of July 1, 1979, for the OBBC.
The July 1, 1979, effective date was set to allow the building construction industry, design professionals, and enforcement agencies to familiarize and educate themselves concerning the code. The Board also made several major changes to the original adoption in May and June, 1979, as a result of industry input. The enforcement agency at the state level (Ohio has a dual enforcement system; i.e., local governments have the option of being certified to enforce the state code and, if they don’t, a state agency does the enforcement) allowed plans to be submitted between July, �, 1979, and September 30, 1979, under either OBC (the outgoing code) or under OBBC, the new code. This allowed for a smooth transition.

Since that time the Ohio Board of Building Standards adopted building code requirements based upon the BOCA model code documents that the Board’s staff modified to be consistent with Ohio law. The adoption history for the codes has been as shown in the Ohio Code History table below.
With membership in the BOCA organization, Ohio’s code enforcement personnel became a major force in the code development process. Several Ohio’s building officials have served as officers and presidents of the organization, others have been elected to serve as members of the board of directors, and hundreds have served on code development committees, review committees, and in many other capacities in this membership-based organization.
