Last week, the Residential and Manufactured Structures Board of Oregon Building Codes Division (BCD) selected HBA’s Mike Goodrich of Legend Homes as co-chair, and HBA Board Vice President Carol Eisenlohr as member of the 2021 Oregon Residential Specialty Code (ORSC) review committee. The committee will work with the Board and BCD to adopt the 2018 International Residential Code (IRC) as the base model code for the 2021 ORSC, with an anticipated effective date of April 1, 2021. In their meeting the Board also voted to approve solar ready code provisions to comply with Governor Brown’s Executive Order 17-20.
