ICC Project Goal
Automate code compliance checking for the I-Codes and Federal, state and locally adopted versions of those codes leading to….
…. enhanced communication, knowledge and collaboration
…. more complete code complying designs …. more timely and accurate design acceptance and approval
…. improved building safety and performance
…. reduced construction costs
Current Process
Future Process
Building Information Model
Physical and functional characteristics of a building (data) in digital format
• … a shared knowledge source or database of intelligent information about a facility
• … stays with the building forever and is enhanced over time
• … can be seamlessly maintained and used by all

Model Checking Software
Software tools that can read a BIM and provide any number of different types of output related to the building and its systems as represented in the BIM
Codes, rules and regulations in a format that allows them to be applied by model checking software to identify conflicts between the BIM and the codes, rules and regulations

Automated Code Compliance Checking
Project Overview
Dictionary – details associated with terms, properties and values that provide a basis for communication between SMARTcodes, MCS and BIM
SMARTcodes – A process and software for making codes and other criteria “smart”
MCS and BIM ASW – Availability of software that can apply SMARTcodes and can provide for “code checkable” BIMs
Project Overview
BIM Gallery – Availability of BIMs for real buildings for demonstration and testing/validation purposes
Manual Code Search – Ability to address code questions directly in the absence of a BIM
Data Drill Down – Availability of information relevant to the application of the codes
Project Overview
Communications – Outreach to and a pipeline for input from the building industry
Market Research – Facilitating market access to and use of SMARTcodes
Collaboration – Identification of and collaboration with relevant stakeholders, organizations and interested parties
ICC Achievements to Date
Invested in SMARTcodes project
Created robust project plan to guide ICC efforts
Assembled ICC project team of ICC staff, private sector experts and public sector users
Established a task group of federal, state and local officials to guide project
Creating U.S. dictionary with CSI and participating in similar efforts globally
ICC Achievements to Date
Developed a unique process, protocol and software to create SMARTcodes
Collaborated with other buildingSMART initiatives and interested parties
Demonstrated auto code check, manual code search and supporting data “drill down” for IECC
Conducting market research
Implemented robust communications plan
Future Plans
Complete efforts on and make 2006 IECC SMARTcodes available
Conduct work to ensure BIMs will contain information to support, and model checking software can perform auto code checking
Continue creation of SMARTcodes until all key I-Codes are completed
Future Plans
Facilitate availability of “smart” Federal, state and local amendments to I-Codes and referenced standards
Provide for manual search of SMARTcodes and availability of support information
Continue to collaborate with relevant initiatives and organizations
