A: USGBC
B: Federal regulations
C: International Code Council
D: California laws

参考答案: C

本题解释:
USGBC helps set green building standards through LEED, not local codes;Local building codes represent the minimum codes that a project must adhere to.

State and local jurisdictions may develop their own regulations or adopt building codes based on national model codes. State and local codes are typically based on national model codes published by the International Code Council (ICC);California laws are usually more stringent than other areas of the country. The laws usually migrate over time to other parts of the United States.
