NRMCA’s Codes and Standards team exhibited at the National Institute of Building Standards (NIBS) Building Innovations 2025 in McLean, VA, from May 18 - 21. Dr. Julian Mills-Beale, director, structural codes and standards, presented Designing and Building Resilient Communities with ICF Walls, highlighting the ability of ICFs to withstand extreme weather, seismic activity, fires and explosions.
The theme of this year’s conference was Thrive: Strategies for Resilient Communities. Tiffany Reed-Villarreal, director, sustainability codes and standards; Darryl Dixon, senior director, energy codes and standards; Matthew Lemay, manager, codes and sustainability programs; and Shamim Rashid-Sumar, senior vice president, codes and standards, joined Mills-Beale in connecting with policy makers, structural engineers and resilience experts and showcase concrete’s role in resilient and sustainable construction. (Seen here, from left to right, are Lemay, Dixon, Reed-Villarreal, Rashid-Sumar and Mills-Beale.)
