The 2012 International Green Construction Code (IgCC) was announced as available by the International Code Council on March 27, 2012. The announcement described it as a model code for constructing and remodeling buildings—not proof that a particular jurisdiction had adopted it or that it remains the applicable code today.
What was the 2012 IgCC announcement?
On March 27, 2012, the International Code Council (ICC) announced the availability of the 2012 International Green Construction Code. Chris King’s article, “Content Is King: Green Code Gets Green Light,” reported the announcement and characterized the IgCC as a new model code for building construction and remodeling. The article is listed as published April 4, 2012.

The announcement was about the code’s availability. That is distinct from a local government’s decision to adopt a model code, amend it, or make it enforceable. The available historical listing does not establish what any particular city, state, or other authority adopted.
What does “model code” mean for a construction project?
A model code provides a framework that a jurisdiction may consider adopting; its publication alone does not establish the rules that apply at a project site. For a real construction or remodeling project, the relevant requirements depend on the authority having jurisdiction and the code edition it has adopted. The 2012 announcement is not enough to determine those requirements.

- One-Handed Loading - Keep one hand free with a 1/4 in. hex chuck that accepts 1 in. bit tips
That distinction matters because a dated announcement can document that a code edition became available without answering whether it was adopted locally, whether local amendments changed it, or whether another edition is now in effect. The available sources do not resolve those questions.
What can be confirmed about the article?
The article is attributed to Chris King and dated April 4, 2012. The source listings do not identify King’s role beyond the byline, so a more specific title or professional affiliation cannot be confirmed from them.

The same title and excerpt also appear in Building Enclosure’s ICC-tag archive. The available listings support the article’s subject, date, and the reported March 27 announcement; they do not provide the full article text or establish its discussion of particular code provisions, environmental targets, energy performance, or implementation details. Those specifics should not be inferred from the headline.
Can this announcement guide current code compliance?
No. It is historical evidence about the availability announcement for a 2012 model-code edition, not current jurisdiction-specific code guidance. Before applying any code to a project, confirm the edition and amendments in force with the relevant local building department or authority having jurisdiction.

The source listings do not establish which edition a jurisdiction currently adopts. They also do not establish whether the 2012 edition remains available in a particular format or through a particular seller. The reliable takeaway is narrower: ICC announced the availability of the 2012 IgCC on March 27, 2012, and the article described it as a model code for construction and remodeling.
