Significant Changes to
the International Residential Code
2006 Edition
|
Description: |
Hamid A. Naderi
Doug Thornburg |
This easy-to-use guide identifies
the significant changes to the minimum regulations for residential
building systems that occurred between the
2003 and
2006
editions of the International Residential Code®.
Rather than addressing every code
change, the book instead focuses squarely on those provisions that
have special significance, are utilized frequently, or have had a
change in application so that users can readily identify what
changes occurred and why.
A straightforward analysis of the
impact of each change on the Code’s application helps familiarize
building and fire officials, plans examiners, inspectors, design
professionals, and others in the building construction industry with
the many important changes to the
2006 International Residential Code.
Features:
- provides a quick and accurate means for
identifying and understanding the changes that occurred since the
previous edition of the IRC, and fosters an understanding of why
the code changed
- logically organized content follows the
general layout of the IRC, with a Table of Contents that allows
for quick identification of the significant code changes that
occurred in the 2006 Edition
- most changes are accompanied by a
photograph or illustration to further assist and enhance the
reader's understanding of the specific change, along with a
discussion of the significance of the changes
- provides the basis for making an easy
transition to the new Code, while also serving as a valuable
historical reference for years to come in reviewing how and when
the code has evolved
- also a valuable resource for jurisdictions
involved in their code adoption process
