No other resource—not even the building code—presents the exact
code information you need, when you need it at design stage The
International Building Code (IBC) is a model building code
developed by the International Code Council (ICC). The IBC and its
complementary codes provide design and construction professionals
with a complete set of comprehensive, coordinated building safety
and fire prevention regulations in order to safeguard the public
health and general welfare of the occupants of new and existing
buildings and structures. Adopted throughout most of the United
States and its territories, it is referenced by federal agencies,
such as the General Services Administration, National Park Service,
Department of State, U.S. Forest Service, and the Department of
Defense. For architects and other design and construction
professionals, it is particularly important that they understand
how to apply the IBC and how code officials view buildings, so that
they integrate code-required provisions in the earliest design
stages of any project. Applying the IBC, as well as its companion
codes, to building design is a process that is uniquely different
to that of applying the building code during a planning review.
Whereas other guide books explain the IBC in sequential order, from
cover to cover, chapter by chapter, and section by section,
Applying the Building Code explains the requirements of the IBC as
they would apply during the common phases of design: from schematic
design through to the preparation of construction documents. This
effectively highlights applicable requirements of the building code
at the appropriate stage of design based on available information.
The book provides a 28-step process that is organized according to
the three phases of architectural design: schematic design, design
development, and construction documents Each step explains the
application of the IBC, as well as other codes and standards
referenced by the IBC (i.e. International Fire Code, International
Energy Conservation Code, and ANSI A117.1) based on available
project information Illustrations and examples are provided
throughout that explain the code fundamentals associated with each
step A single example project is used throughout the step-by-step
process to illustrate how each step is applied and builds upon code
and project information obtained through previous steps Guidance is
also provided on the International Existing Building Code and how
the step-by-step process is applied to projects involving existing
buildings The role of the building department and its staff in
regard to plan reviews and code enforcement is discussed A detailed
code data information template is provided that can help organize
code-related information for construction documents
