Designed to provide comprehensive regulations for mechanical systems and equipment, it includes coverage of HVAC, exhaust systems, chimneys and vents, ducts, appliances, boilers, water heaters, refrigerators, hydronic piping, and solar systems. This valuable reference uses prescriptive- and performance- related provisions to establish minimum regulations for a variety of systems. This updated code includes information on condensate pumps, and the ventilation system for enclosed parking garages.
These handy tabs will highlight the most frequently referenced sections of the latest version of the IMC. They have been strategically designed by industry experts so that users can quickly and efficiently access the information they need, when they need it. In this unique quick-reference guide, a single, 6-page laminated card, you get most of the new International Building Code essentials that you need to know, based on the current IBC.
Prepared by industry experts from the pump, motor and drive industries under the auspices of Europump and the Hydraulic Institute, this reference book provides a comprehensive guide to variable speed pumping. It includes technical descriptions of pumping systems and their components, and guides the reader through the evaluation of different speed control options.
Case studies help illustrate the life cycle cost savings and process improvements that appropriate variable speed pumping can deliver. The requirements are performance-driven, making this an effective tool and valuable addition to a user's code products.
In this updated code, the section on protection of piping has been completely rewritten, and readers are informed that line regulators installed in rigid piping must have a union installed to allow removal of the regulator. This important reference guide includes provisions for fixtures, piping, fittings, and devices, as well as design and installation methods for water supply, sanitary drainage, and storm drainage.
The edition of the code includes information on public toilet facilities, as well as water temperature limiting devices, and replacement water heater installation.
Using both prescriptive- and performance-related specifications, this code provides comprehensive minimum regulations for a variety of plumbing facilities, facilitating the design and acceptance of new and innovative products, materials, and systems. Now more than ever, architects need an interpretive guide to understand how the building code affects the early design of specific projects. This easy-to-use, illustrative guide is part of a new series covering building codes based on the International Building Code for Its effectiveness lies in its use of a unique formula that has made previous editions so successful: it combines the text of the code with valuable commentaries that offer a more in-depth and applied understanding of its regulations.
Although it includes the technical requirements of the code, it goes beyond these to explore its meaning, its applications, and the potential consequences when it is not followed. Chapter changes in this updated code include requirements related to the addition of sleeping units and dwelling units as they relate to the requirements for Accessible units, and Type A units and Type B units have been moved to Chapter 11 on Additions.
They have been strategically designed by industry experts so that users can quickly and efficiently access the information they need, when they need it. Fully updated throughout, it highlights all of the changes to the code for quick reference and easy navigation. It pulls out the portions of the building code that are most relevant for the architect and provides an easy-to-understand interpretation in both words and illustrations.
The following sections cover such information as: use and occupancy; building heights and areas; types of construction; fire-resistive construction; interior finishes; means of egress; accessibility; energy efficiency; roof assemblies; structural provisions; special inspections and tests; soils and foundations; building materials and systems; and more.
A complete, user-friendly guide to code-compliant projects Highlights all the significant changes in the IBC Uses clear language and Frank Ching's distinctive illustrations to demystify the International Build Code IBC text Provides students and professionals with a fundamental understanding of IBC development, interpretation, and application Building Codes Illustrated: A Guide to Understanding the International Building Code gives students and professionals in architecture, interior design, construction, and engineering a user-friendly, easy-to-use guide to the fundamentals of the IBC.
The IBC and its complementary codes provide design and construction professionals with a complete set of comprehensive, coordinated building safety and fire prevention regulations in order to safeguard the public health and general welfare of the occupants of new and existing buildings and structures. Forest Service, and the Department of Defense. For architects and other design and construction professionals, it is particularly important that they understand how to apply the IBC and how code officials view buildings, so that they integrate code-required provisions in the earliest design stages of any project.
Advanced chapters cover seismic isolation, synthetic earthquakes, foundation design, and geotechnical aspects such as liquefaction. Author : Katherine E.
This Study Guide includes term lists, practice questions, practical application exercises, code tables, checklists, and a book companion site featuring interactive checklists, helping designers and architects check their knowledge and comprehension from reading The Codes Guidebook for Interior chapters and prepare for the NCIDQ and ARE exams. It can help design students learn and practitioners keep their skills up to date.
Because it is vital that designers and architects have an up-to-date working knowledge of the various codes involved with building interiors, whether during renovation or new construction, the study guide offers them an opportunity to: Check their knowledge of the key terms of the industry Test their working knowledge of codes using the practice questions and problem scenarios Utilize the code tables during the design process Employ the numerous checklists on proposed and real life projects to ensure complete compliance The revised Study Guide is a useful companion to The Codes Guidebook for Interiors, the essential reference for all interior professionals.
Check your understanding of the individual chapters as exam prep or even just as a self-test. For the designer, architect, or student, the Study Guide for The Codes Guidebook for Interiors is a must-have resource. The guide features jargon-free explanations of all the codes and standards that are relevant to designers and architects, including performance codes, building and finish standards, energy codes, and ADA standards.
In addition, the dozens of examples and a greatly enhanced with a set of illustrations, including floor plans, that clearly show how codes apply to real-world project. Written by Katherine E. Kennon a professional architect and facilities planner and Sharon Koomen Harmon a professional interior designer and educator are experts on interior design and architecture codes. The authors address a wide-variety of building and project types large and small and they offer information on single family homes and historical and existing buildings.
Whether renovation or new construction, small or large, codes apply to every project. The Codes Guidebook for Interiors provides designers with the comprehensive information they need to stay up-to-date.
