TECHNICAL CORNER
Hello Everyone, We are very busy this time of year selecting topics for the upcoming New Year for ASPE starting in September. If anyone has any ideas for good technical topics please contact me, one topic I would like to do deals with the Legal side of Engineering. If
anyone knows of a Lawyer that is familiar with this area of Law again please contact me.
Later this month I will have the dates for the entire next season posted on our Web Site so everyone can see when our meeting will be scheduled. In closing I want to thank everyone for asking how my wife is doing in her recovery, I am glad to report she is doing fine. Regards Mike

LEGISLATIVE NEWS Attention all professional women engineers – ASPE Wants You! ASPE has introduced a new group “Women of ASPE” (WOA) which is designed to engage, retain and advance women in the plumbing design industry through education, leadership development and net-working opportunities. If you’re in-terested in joining this group, please visit ASPE’s website for further infor-mation (www.aspe.org/woa).
Two (2) important code organizations will continue working on the 2018 versions of the model codes this Spring if you’re interested in attending. The Interna-tional Code Council (ICC) will begin code hearings on the 2016 Group B in Louisville, KY on April 17 – 27. Additionally, the International Association of Plumb-ing & Mechanical Officials (IAPMO) will hold their code hearings for the Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC) and Uniform Mechanical Code (UMC) on May 2 – 6 in Denver, CO. For further information on these topics, please visit Ron George’s “Codes and Standards In-formation” article in April’s Plumbing Engineer.
Now available is the 2015 WEP: Water Efficiency Pro-visions of the 2015 International Green Construction Code®. This compilation promotes water conserva-tion in both the building and the site, and addresses numerous systems and components including:
All water-related provisions from the 2015 IgCC® 2015 IPC® Chapter 13, Non-potable Water Systems High-performance waste use provision from ASH-RAE/USGMB/IES S tandard 189.1-2014
