A system presented herein, called COMPATH™, incorporates computer technology, computer software and the world wide web to expedite and improve regulation compliance levels, logistics, and communications. Building departments and other regulation enforcement agencies have been historically overtaxed in their ability to systematically enforce regulations such as building codes and ordinances, and lack the means to consistently and effectively communicate with stakeholders. As the number and complexity of these building code regulations have expanded, enforcement agencies continue to lag in their ability to enforce them. The impacts of this lack of capability have been manifested in damage from catastrophic storms and earthquakes and in poor energy code compliance in buildings. Damage from numerous events has been found by forensics studies to be attributable to lax code enforcement.
