Publication number: 20150032479Abstract: An approach is provided improving building codes. In the approach, building code related data retrieved from a number of sources is evaluated. The sources correspond to a first geographic location, such as a municipality, being analyzed and one or more second geographic locations (e.g., other municipalities, etc.) being used for comparison. Based on the evaluation, a negative outcome, such as a higher insurance cost, is then identified that relates to the first geographic location. The approach then identifies a building code change that could be made to the building codes of the first geographic location to address the negative outcome. The identified building code change is then recommended to be made to the set of building codes that applies to the first geographic location.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 25, 2013Publication date: January 29, 2015Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Francesco C.
