By
Steve Van Note
This is the resource that code
users are raving about – a guide that helps to identify specific
changes between the 2006 and 2009 editions of the International
Residential Code®, while also providing the reason and rationale
behind those changes.
This book’s effectiveness lies in
its focus, which is primarily aimed at the most critical provisions,
the most commonly used provisions, and provisions that have had a
significant change in application, so that users can readily
identify what changes occurred and why.
A straight forward analysis of
the impact of each change on the code's application rounds out the
comprehensive coverage. This resource also helps to familiarize
building and fire officials, plans examiners, inspectors, design
professionals, and others in the building construction industry with
the many important changes that have resulted in the 2009
International Residential Code®.
Features:
- Photographs, illustrations, and application
examples clarify key concepts and enhance reader comprehension
- Logically organized content follows the
layout of the IRC® for quick and accurate identification and
understanding of key changes
- Format imitates style used in code-change
proposals, with deleted code language shown with a
strike-through, and new code language indicated by underlining,
which highlights the important changes visually
- Also a valuable resource for
jurisdictions involved in their code adoption process
