To keep the code current and viable with input from all interested parties, the NSPC Committee — comprised of licensed contractors, engineers, inspectors and manufacturers — reviews the code annually and updates it on a three-year cycle.

The International Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Foundation (IWSH), the public charity of IAPMO, has completed a major plumbing upgrade at the Los Angeles Mission, strengthening essential facilities used by more than 1,000 people each day.

IAPMO employs a voluntary consensus development process accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), gathering the largest assembly of plumbing and mechanical experts in the world at its Annual Education and Business Conference and technical committee meetings, enabling anyone — members and non-members alike — to have a voice on proposed changes to the code.

Among the significant updates included in the 2024 UMC are enhanced air filtration requirements, new ventilation system balancing provisions, updated refrigerant safety classifications, and requirements addressing the use of emerging low-global-warming-potential refrigerants.

In this 1.5-hour webinar, instructor Randy Lorge will review how to use the Water Demand Calculator, highlight its technical benefits, and demonstrate how to apply it to accurately right-size a water distribution system.

IAPMO has published the 2027 editions of the Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC) and Uniform Mechanical Code (UMC) in both hardcopy and electronic versions. The Uniform Codes are developed using IAPMO’s ANSI-accredited consensus development procedures. This process brings together volunteers representing a variety of viewpoints and interests to achieve consensus on plumbing and mechanical practices.
