International Building Code 2015
The International Building Code 2015 is a model construction code published by the International Code Council (ICC) and widely adopted by jurisdictions for regulating building design, structural integrity, fire safety, means of egress, accessibility, materials, mechanical systems and general construction standards. It establishes minimum requirements for new construction and renovations, addressing occupancy classifications, building heights and areas, structural loads, fire-resistance ratings, exit systems, fire-protection features, special construction, and referenced standards used throughout the construction industry. As a foundational reference in many contractor licensing exams, the 2015 IBC provides uniform criteria that guide code-compliant building practices across commercial and residential structures.

Featuring the very latest industry standards in material design, the 2015 INTERNATIONAL BUILDING CODE SOFT COVER version offers up-to-date, comprehensive insight into the regulations surrounding the design and installation of building systems. It provides valuable structural, fire-, and life- safety provisions that cover means of egress, interior finish requirements, roofs, seismic engineering, innovative construction technology, and occupancy classifications for all types of buildings except those which are detached one and two family homes and townhouses not more than 3 stories high. New code sections have been added to the 2015 IBC that cover rooftop mounted photovoltaic solar panels and all the content in the book is developed in the context of the broad-based principles that facilitate the use of new materials and building designs. The updates to this code make it an essential reference guide for anyone seeking a strong working knowledge of building systems.
