Chapter 1 About the Codes

History Code of Hammurabi, Babylonia, 1700’s BC (structural codes) 1625: first building code in US in New Amsterdam (NY) which governed roof covering requirements to prevent fires from chimney sparks 1800’s: large amounts of building fires caused large cities to develop their own municipal codes (some still in existence!) Mid 1800’s: National Board of Fire Underwriters: 1905 National Building Code (lead to current code model) Federal government created regulations Standards-writing organizations and trade associations created standards

Codes / Regulations / Standards Building Codes = Address construction requirements of an entire building & place restrictions on hazardous materials within the building. Purpose is to ensure the health, safety, and welfare of the people using the building. Federal Regulations = Federal laws for building construction, published in the Federal Register and the Code of Federal Regulations. Standards = A specification developed by trade regulations, government agencies & standards-writing organizations. Have no legal standing alone, but they are typically referenced by a code, which makes it a requirement.

Codes Two main organizations: – ICC: International Code Council (I-Codes) IBC: International Building Code – NFPA: National Fire Protection Association (C3- Codes) NFPA 5000: Building Construction and Safety Code

Code Comparison

Federal Regulations ADA: Americans with Disabilities Act FHA: Fair Housing Act – Enforced by HUD: Housing and Urban Development EPAct: Energy Policy Act – Promotes energy efficiency and conservation

Standards Organizations NFPA: National Fire Protection Association – Mostly geared toward fire protection, and are referenced by all NFPA codes and many by ICC codes – Remember, NFPA also publishes a full set of codes ANSI: American National Standards Institute – Typically approves standards developed by other organizations – Most popular one for ID: ANSI A117.1: Standard on Accessible and Usable Buildings and Facilities ASTM International: American Society for Testing Materials – Standard-writing organization – does not test – Used to specify materials assure quality, etc, divided into 15 categories ASHRAE: American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air- Conditioning Engineers – Develops standards and sponsors research for HVAC performance levels UL: Underwriters Laboratories – Primarily a testing agency that approves products

Summary In addition to building codes, federal regulations and standards, there are also local codes to comply with! Referencing an interior codes and standards checklist will help you remember all of the applicable codes (one chart is in your textbook) This class will teach you HOW to use your textbook and other resources to apply the necessary codes/regulations/standards for all of your projects in school and beyond. For next class: read chapter 2 (if you haven’t already) and chapter 3, as well as pages of chapter 4. Be ready to discuss/practice occupancy classifications, building types, and means of egress.
