Many countries around the world have either introduced performance-based building regulations or are in the process of doing so. Rationales range from downsizing of government, deregulation, and facilitation of trade, to increased design flexibility and reduction in unnecessary costs. With the global transition to performance-based building regulatory systems, there is a need to understand the impacts such a transition will have on the construction industry, on society and on the regulatory environment. Among the complex questions are: What does performance mean? How is it measured and regulated? What might be the impacts of a global performance-based building regulatory system on national economies and populations? What must be done to "get things right" in this new environment? Are the new regulations adequately addressing societal expectations and requirements for the performance of buildings, and more fundamentally, what are societal expectations for buildings and how are they incorporated and regulated? Additionally, policy initiatives may converge on the building regulatory system, such as sustainability, security, and housing affordability. Although these issues vary somewhat by country, the challenges are similar, and there is much to be gained by discussing the challenges and lessons learned from countries that have implemented performance-based building regulatory systems, to see how we should plan for the future. As a means to advance our knowledge base and encourage further discussion on the issues from international, national, and local perspectives, the IRCC (Inter-jurisdictional Regulatory Collaboration Committee) will hold a global policy summit in Washington, DC, on 3-5 November 2003. The Summit provides the opportunity to better understand the breadth and depth of policy issues and research needs associated with performance regulation and associated impacts on society. Bringing together academic experts, high-level policy makers and regulatory officials, and interested and affected stakeholders from across the United States and around the world, to discuss key issues, identify potential solutions, and draft a roadmap for undertaking research and addressing policy challenges of performance building regulatory systems will broaden understanding of critical issues and stimulate research in a variety of key performance regulatory policy areas. A key outcome of the Summit will be a roadmap for understanding and addressing the policy needs for these regulatory systems at national and intemational levels. The roadmap will be sent to building regulatory agencies and researchers worldwide, with the aim for each country to implement, study, or utilize as appropriate. The target size for the Summit is 200 -250 people. The format is a combination of presentations and panel discussions, with dedicated evening discussion sessions, over a two and a half day period. The speakers and the majority of the participants will be invited, and will include congressional/ministerial, national, state/province, and local government policy makers and regulatory developers, representatives of key special interest and key stakeholder groups, and leading policy experts and analysts from academia, research institutions and the private sector. The Summit will be facilitated by the National Research Council and will be held at the National Academies building in Washington DC.

世界上许多国家或已引入基于性能的建筑法规，或正在这样做。理由从缩减政府规模、放松管制和促进贸易，到增加设计灵活性和减少不必要的成本。随着全球向以绩效为基础的建筑监管制度过渡，有必要了解这种转变将对建筑业、社会和监管环境产生的影响。在这些复杂的问题中，有：绩效意味着什么？它是如何衡量和监管的？以绩效为基础的全球建筑监管制度可能会对国家经济和人口产生什么影响？在这种新的环境下，必须做些什么才能“把事情做好”？新法规是否充分满足了社会对建筑物性能的期望和要求，更根本的是，社会对建筑物的期望是什么，它们是如何纳入和监管的？此外，政策倡议可能会集中在建筑监管系统上，如可持续性、安全性和住房可负担性。尽管这些问题因国家不同而有所不同，但挑战是相似的，通过讨论挑战和从已实施基于绩效的建筑监管制度的国家吸取的经验教训，我们将获得许多好处，看看我们应该如何规划未来。为了加强我们的知识基础，并鼓励从国际、国家和地方的角度进一步讨论这些问题，司法管辖区间监管合作委员会将于2003年11月3-5日在华盛顿特区举行全球政策峰会。首脑会议提供了机会，以便更好地了解与业绩管制和对社会的相关影响有关的政策问题和研究需要的广度和深度。将来自美国和世界各地的学术专家、高级政策制定者和监管官员以及感兴趣的和受影响的利益相关者聚集在一起，讨论关键问题，确定潜在的解决方案，并起草开展研究和应对绩效建设监管系统的政策挑战的路线图，将扩大对关键问题的理解，并促进在各种关键绩效监管政策领域的研究。首脑会议的一项重要成果将是一份路线图，以便在国家和国际两级了解和解决这些监管制度的政策需要。路线图将发送给世界各地的建筑监管机构和研究人员，目的是让每个国家适当地实施、研究或利用。峰会的目标规模是200-250人。其形式是演讲和小组讨论相结合，并在两天半的时间里专门举行晚间讨论。将邀请演讲者和大多数与会者，包括国会/部长、国家、州/省和地方政府政策制定者和监管开发商，关键的特殊利益集团和关键利益攸关方的代表，以及来自学术界、研究机构和私营部门的领先政策专家和分析师。峰会将由国家研究委员会主持，并将在华盛顿特区的国家科学院大楼举行。
