Welcome to the ICC-ES SAVE™ Program

For decades, ICC-ES has been the United States’ leader in evaluating building products for code compliance.  ICC-ES technical evaluations of building products – ICC-ES Evaluation Reports – are the industry gold standard for providing evidence that products and systems meet code requirements.  With its remarkable history, ICC-ES is uniquely positioned to respond to the increased demand for the evaluation of “green” building products, with a program that benefits manufacturers, code officials and the design community. The ICC-ES Sustainable Attributes Verification and Evaluation™ (SAVE™)  Program provides manufacturers with verification that their products meet specific sustainability targets defined by today’s codes, standards, or green rating systems, including the International Green Construction Code (IGCC) and the California Green Building Standards Code (CALGreen). SAVE provides an independent and comprehensive evaluation of the sustainable attributes of building products.

A SAVE evaluation includes product testing at recognized laboratories (when applicable), inspection of the manufacturer’s production process, and evaluation of data justifying specific, identifiable attributes. The end result is a Verification of Attributes Report™ (VAR™), which is available, free of charge, on the SAVE™ website.

A nonprofit, limited liability corporation, ICC-ES is the United States’ leading evaluation service for innovative construction materials and systems. ICC-ES developed the SAVE™ Program in conjunction with International Code Council (ICC) activities that are aimed at developing and fostering sustainable design and construction.
