Home Innovation Research Labs Initiates Process for Next Version of ANSI Square Footage Standard

Home Innovation Research Labs, an ANSI Accredited Standards Development Organization, announced today that it is officially beginning the process to review and revise or reaffirm the American National Standard for Single-Family Residential Buildings, Square Footage - Method of Calculating, ANSI Z765-2003 (r2013). This standard, which has been in use since 1996, addresses the need for uniformity in calculating and reporting square footage (area) measurements of dwellings in the United States.

Following the ANSI prescribed consensus process, all interested parties in the residential market may contribute to the review and revision of the standard by submitting public proposals or by applying to join the Consensus Committee. All committee Meeting Notices and Tentative Agendas will be posted online 30 days in advance of all meetings.

Forms for Consensus Committee membership and proposed changes are available online. Consensus Committee membership applications will be accepted through April 15, 2019; proposed changes will be accepted online through May 7, 2019. For updates on the standard development process and links to all relevant forms and documents, visit www.HomeInnovation.com/Z765. To purchase a copy of the current standard, visit the bookstore.
