The construction industry is evolving a single
set of international building codes. Now, more than ever, architects
need an interpretive guide to understand how the building code
affects the early design of specific projects.
One in a series of focused guides to building
codes from Wiley, this book familiarizes code users with the 2006
International Building Code (IBC) as it applies to elementary and
Early understanding and incorporation of
code-compliant design provisions in a project is essential. This
book provides school design professionals--architects, engineers,
and other related design professionals--with an understanding of how
the International Building Code was developed, and how it is likely
to be interpreted when applied to the design and construction of
elementary and secondary schools.
Building Codes Illustrated for Elementary
and Secondary Schools features:
- A user-friendly visual format that makes
finding the information you need quick and easy.
- Nearly 900 illustrations, by
architectural illustrator Steven Juroszek in the style of noted
illustrator and author Frank Ching, that help visualize and
explain the codes.
- Text written by experienced experts who
have been instrumental in gaining acceptance for the new unified
- A guide to navigating the new code plus
complete coverage of all key aspects of the IBC.
The newly adopted International Building Code
is similar but by no means identical to the three model codes that
most practitioners have used in the past. Building Codes
Illustrated for Elementary and Secondary Schools is an essential
companion to the IBC for emerging practitioners seeking to master
the full scope of accepted knowledge in the field, and for
experienced practitioners needing to understand the similarities and
differences between the familiar model codes and the new IBC.

The International Code Council® (ICC®), a membership
association dedicated to building safety and fire prevention,
develops the codes used to construct residential and commercial
buildings, including homes and schools. Most U.S. cities, counties,
and states that adopt codes choose the International Codes developed
by the ICC. The ICC mission is to provide the highest quality codes,
standards, products, and services for all concerned with the safety
and performance of the built environment.
