When one of the model documents is adopted as the basis of a stand-alone code, that code should provide a com- plete package of requirements with enforcement assigned to the entity for which the adoption is being made. The model codes can also be adopted as a family of complementary codes. When adopted together there should be no conflict of any of the technical provisions.
When multiple model codes are adopted in a jurisdiction, it is important for the adopting authority to evaluate the provisions in each code document and determine how and by which agency ies they will be enforced. It is important, therefore, to understand that where technical provisions are duplicated in multiple model documents, the enforcement duties must be clearly assigned by the local adopting jurisdic- tion. ICC remains committed to providing state-of-the-art model code documents that, when adopted locally, will reduce the cost to government of code adoption and enforcement and protect the public health, safety and welfare. Italicized Terms Selected terms set forth in Chapter 2, Definitions, are italicized where they appear in code text except those in Sections through , where italics indicate provisions that differ from ACI Such terms are not italicized where the definition set forth in Chapter 2 does not impart the intended meaning in the use of the term.
The terms selected have definitions that the user should read carefully to facilitate better understanding of the code. The IBC is fully compatible with the ICC family of codes, including: International Energy Conservation Code IECC , International Existing Building Code IEBC , International Fire Code IFC , International Fuel Gas Code IFGC , International Green Construction Code IgCC , International Mechanical Code IMC , ICC Performance Code ICCPC , International Plumbing Code IPC , International Private Sewage Disposal Code IPSDC , International Property Mainte- nance Code IPMC , International Residential Code IRC , International Swimming Pool and Spa Code ISPSC , International Wildland-Urban Interface Code IWUIC and International Zoning Code IZC.
The IBC addresses structural strength, means of egress, sanitation, adequate lighting and ventila- tion, accessibility, energy conservation and life safety in regard to new and existing buildings, facili- ties and systems. The codes are promulgated on a 3-year cycle to allow for new construction methods and technologies to be incorporated into the codes. Alternative materials, designs and methods not specifically addressed in the code can be approved by the code official where the pro- posed materials, designs or methods comply with the intent of the provisions of the code see Sec- tion The IBC applies to all occupancies, including one- and two-family dwellings and townhouses that are not within the scope of the IRC. The IRC is referenced for coverage of detached one- and two- family dwellings and townhouses as defined in the exception to Section The IBC applies to all types of buildings and structures unless exempted.
Work exempted from permits is listed in Section Arrangement and Format of the IBC Before applying the requirements of the IBC, it is beneficial to understand its arrangement and for- mat. The IBC, like other codes published by ICC, is arranged and organized to follow sequential steps that generally occur during a plan review or inspection. Chapters Subjects Administration and definitions 3 Use and occupancy classifications 4, 31 Special requirements for specific occupancies or elements Height and area limitations based on type of construction Fire resistance and protection requirements 10 Requirements for evacuation 11 Specific requirements to allow use and access to a building for persons with disabilities , Building systems, such as lighting, HVAC, plumbing fixtures, elevators Structural components—performance and stability 32 Encroachment outside of property lines 33 Safeguards during construction 35 Referenced standards Appendices A-M Appendices Copyright © ICC.
IBC Chapter 28 is a reference to the IMC and the IFGC for chimneys, fireplaces and barbecues, and all aspects of mechanical systems. Chapter 1 Scope and Administration. Chapter 1 establishes the limits of applicability of the code and describes how the code is to be applied and enforced. Chapter 1 is in two parts, Part 1— Scope and Application Sections and Part 2—Administration and Enforcement Sections Section identifies which buildings and structures come under its purview and refer- ences other ICC codes as applicable. Standards and codes are scoped to the extent referenced see Section The building code is intended to be adopted as a legally enforceable document and it cannot be effective without adequate provisions for its administration and enforcement. The provisions of Chapter 1 establish the authority and duties of the code official appointed by the jurisdiction having authority and also establish the rights and privileges of the design professional, contractor and property owner.
Chapter 2 Definitions. An alphabetical listing of all defined terms is located in Chapter 2. Defined terms that are pertinent to a specific chapter or section are also found in that chapter or section with a reference back to Chapter 2 for the definition. While a defined term may be listed in one chapter or another, the meaning is applicable throughout the code. Codes are technical documents and every word, term and punctuation mark can impact the meaning of the code text and the intended results. The user of the code should be familiar with and consult this chapter because the definitions are essential to the correct interpretation of the code. Where a term is not defined, such terms shall have the ordinarily accepted meaning. Chapter 3 Use and Occupancy Classification. Chapter 3 provides for the classification of buildings, structures and parts thereof based on the purpose or purposes for which they are used. Section identifies the groups into which all buildings, structures and parts thereof must be clas- sified.
Sections through identify the occupancy characteristics of each group classification. In some sections, specific group classifications having requirements in common are collectively organized such that one term applies to all. For example, Groups A-1, A-2, A-3, A-4 and A-5 are indi- vidual groups for assembly-type buildings. Other groups include Business B , Educational E , Factory F-1, F-2 , High Hazard H-1, H-2, H-3, H-4, H-5 , Institutional I-1, I-2, I-3, I-4 , Mercantile M , Residential R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4 , Storage S-1, S-2 and Utility U. In some occupancies, the smaller number means a higher hazard, but that is not always the case. Defining the use of the buildings is very important as it sets the tone for the remaining chapters of the code.
The determination of equivalent risk involves three interdependent considerations: 1 the level of fire hazard associated with the specific occupancy of the facility; 2 the reduction of fire hazard by limiting the floor area and the height of the building based on the fuel load combustible contents and burnable building compo- nents ; and 3 the level of overall fire resistance provided by the type of construction used for the building. The greater the potential fire hazards indicated as a function of the group, the lesser the height and area allowances for a particular construction type. Occupancy classification also plays a key part in organizing and prescribing the appropriate pro- tection measures. As such, threshold requirements for fire protection and means of egress systems are based on occupancy classification see Chapters 9 and Other sections of the code also con- tain requirements respective to the classification of building groups.
For example, Section spec- ifies requirements for fire wall fire-resistance ratings that are tied to the occupancy classification of a building and Section The use of the space, rather than the occupancy of the building, is utilized for determining occupant loading Section and live loading Section Over the useful life of a building, the activities in the building will evolve and change. Where the provisions of the code address uses differently, moving from one activity to another or from one level of activity to another is, by definition, a change of occupancy.
The new occupancy must be in compliance with the applicable provisions. Chapter 4 Special Detailed Requirements Based On Use and Occupancy. Chapter 4 con- tains the requirements for protecting special uses and occupancies, which are supplemental to the remainder of the code. Chapter 4 contains provisions that may alter requirements found elsewhere in the code; however, the general requirements of the code still apply unless modified within the chapter. For example, the height and area limitations established in Chapter 5 apply to all special occupancies unless Chapter 4 contains height and area limitations. In this case, the limitations in Chapter 4 supersede those in other sections. An example of this is the height and area limitations for open parking garages given in Section In some instances, it may not be necessary to apply the provisions of Chapter 4.
For example, if a covered mall building complies with the provisions of the code for Group M, Section does not apply; however, other sections that address a use, process or operation must be applied to that spe- cific occupancy, such as stages and platforms, special amusement buildings and hazardous materials Sections , and The chapter includes requirements for buildings and conditions that apply to one or more groups, such as high-rise buildings, underground buildings or atriums. Special uses may also imply specific occupancies and operations, such as for Group H, hazardous materials, application of flam- Copyright © ICC.
Unique consideration is taken for special use areas, such as covered mall buildings, motor-vehicle-related occupancies, special amusement buildings and air- craft-related occupancies. Chapter 5 General Building Heights and Areas. Chapter 5 contains the provisions that regu- late the minimum type of construction for area limits and height limits based on the occupancy of the building. Height and area increases including allowances for basements, mezzanines and equip- ment platforms are permitted based on open frontage for fire department access, and the type of sprinkler protection provided and separation Sections , These thresholds are reduced for buildings over three stories in height in accordance with Sections Unlimited area buildings are permitted in certain occupancies when they meet special provisions Section Tables If one then looks at Tables Respective to each group classification, the greater the fire- resistance rating of structural elements, as represented by the type of construction, the greater the floor area and height allowances.
In the edition, the table that once contained both height and area has been separated and these three new tables address the topics individually. In addition, the tables list criteria for buildings containing automatic sprinkler systems and those that do not. Chapter 6 Types of Construction. The interdependence of these fire safety considerations can be seen by first looking at Tables and , which show the fire-resistance ratings of the principal structural elements comprising a building in relation to the five classifications for types of construc- tion.
Type I construction is the classification that generally requires the highest fire-resistance rat- ings for structural elements, whereas Type V construction, which is designated as a combustible type of construction, generally requires the least amount of fire-resistance-rated structural ele- ments. Section includes a list of combus- tible elements that can be part of a noncombustible building Types I and II construction. Chapter 7 Fire and Smoke Protection Features. The provisions of Chapter 7 present the fun- damental concepts of fire performance that all buildings are expected to achieve in some form. The fire-resistance-rated construction requirements within Chapter 7 provide passive resis- tance to the spread and effects of fire. Types of separations addressed include fire walls, fire barri- ers, fire partitions, horizontal assemblies, smoke barriers and smoke partitions.
A fire produces heat that can weaken structural components and smoke products that cause property damage and place occupants at risk. The requirements of Chapter 7 work in unison with height and area requirements Chapter 5 , active fire detection and suppression systems Chapter 9 and occupant egress require- ments Chapter 10 to contain a fire should it occur while helping ensure occupants are able to safely exit. Chapter 8 Interior Finishes. This chapter contains the performance requirements for control- ling fire growth within buildings by restricting interior finish and decorative materials. Past fire experience has shown that interior finish and decorative materials are key elements in the develop- ment and spread of fire. The provisions of Chapter 8 require materials used as interior finishes and decorations to meet certain flame-spread index or flame-propagation criteria based on the relative fire hazard associated with the occupancy.
As smoke is also a hazard associated with fire, this chap- ter contains limits on the smoke development characteristics of interior finishes. The performance of the material is evaluated based on test standards. Chapter 9 prescribes the minimum requirements for active systems of fire protection equipment to perform the following functions: detect a fire; alert the occupants or fire department of a fire emergency; and control smoke and control or extinguish the fire. Generally, the requirements are based on the occupancy, the height and the area of the build- ing, because these are the factors that most affect fire-fighting capabilities and the relative hazard of a specific building or portion thereof. This chapter parallels and is substantially duplicated in Chapter 9 of the International Fire Code IFC ; however, the IFC Chapter 9 also contains periodic testing criteria that are not contained in the IBC. In addition, the special fire protection system requirements based on use and occupancy found in IBC Chapter 4 are duplicated in IFC Chapter 9 as a user convenience.
Chapter 10 Means of Egress. The general criteria set forth in Chapter 10 regulating the design of the means of egress are established as the primary method for protection of people in buildings by allowing timely relocation or evacuation of building occupants. Both prescriptive and perfor- mance language is utilized in this chapter to provide for a basic approach in the determination of a safe exiting system for all occupancies. It addresses all portions of the egress system i. The requirements detail the size, arrangement, number and protection of means of egress components. Functional and operational characteristics also are specified for the components that will permit their safe use without special knowledge or effort. The means of egress protection requirements work in coordination with other sections of the code, such as pro- tection of vertical openings see Chapter 7 , interior finish see Chapter 8 , fire suppression and detection systems see Chapter 9 and numerous others, all having an impact on life safety.
Chapter 10 of the IBC is duplicated in Chapter 10 of the IFC; however, the IFC contains one additional section on the means of egress system in existing buildings. Chapter 11 Accessibility. Chapter 11 contains provisions that set forth requirements for accessi- bility of buildings and their associated sites and facilities for people with physical disabilities. The fundamental philosophy of the code on the subject of accessibility is that everything is required to be accessible. This is reflected in the basic applicability requirement see Section While the IBC contains scoping provisions for acces- sibility e.
There are many accessibility issues that not only benefit people with disabilities, but also provide a tangible benefit to people without disabilities. This type of requirement can be set forth in the code as generally applicable without necessarily identifying it specifically as an accessibility-related issue. Accessibility criteria for existing buildings are addressed in the International Existing Building Code IEBC. Appendix E is supplemental information included in the code to address accessibility for items in the ADA Standards for Accessible Design that were not typically enforceable through the stan- dard traditional building code enforcement approach system e. The Inter- national Residential Code IRC references Chapter 11 for accessibility provisions; therefore, this chapter may be applicable to housing covered under the IRC.
Chapter 12 Interior Environment. Chapter 12 provides minimum standards for the interior environment of a building. The standards address the minimum sizes of spaces, minimum tempera- ture levels, and minimum light and ventilation levels.
