It still baffles me how few individuals working within the AEC industry participate in the code development process. If you can’t commit to being on committees, you can still submit proposals and public comments on proposals! The technical committees are literally forced to review it and vote on it.

If you are an AIA member, I would *strongly* urge you to apply to the Codes and Standards Committee. There is a big opportunity there to push codes in a pro-housing direction, but they need more multifamily architects who see the vision on the committee to get them there. www.aia.org/advocacy/cod...
The AIA Codes and Standards (C&S) Committee is the leading voice in developing and adopting national codes and standards.
