Model building codes and standards are developed by the International Code Council. They publish the I-Codes (such as the International Building Code and International Residential Code), which many jurisdictions adopt and sometimes amend to fit local needs. NFPA focuses on safety codes for fire protection and electrical systems rather than general building codes. ASHRAE creates standards for HVAC and energy-related aspects of buildings. BOCA was a separate organization in the past but has since merged into ICC, making ICC the main source for model building codes today.
