PREFACE
Introduction
Internationally, code officials recognize the need for a modern, up-to-date building code addressing the design and installation of building systems through requirements emphasizing performance. The International Building Code©, in this 2011 edition, is designed to meet these needs through model code regulations that safeguard the public health and safety in all communities, large and small.
This comprehensive building code establishes minimum regulations for building systems using prescriptive and performance-related provisions. It is founded on broad-based principles that make possible the use of new materials and new building designs. This 2011 edition is fully compatible with all of the International Codes© (I-Codes©) published by the International Code Council (ICC)©, including the International Energy Conservation Code©, International Existing Building Code©, International Fire Code©, International Fuel Gas Code©, International Green Construction Code© (to be available March 2011), International Mechanical Code©, ICC Performance Code©, International Plumbing Code©, International Private Sewage Disposal Code©, International Property Maintenance Code©, International Residential Code©, International Swimming Pool and Spa Code©(to be available March 2011), International Wildland-Urban Interface Code© and International Zoning Code©.
The International Building Code provisions provide many benefits, among which is the model code development process that offers an international forum for building professionals to discuss performance and prescriptive code requirements. This forum provides an excellent arena to debate proposed revisions. This model code also encourages international consistency in the application of provisions.
