| Abstract |
This is a recommended model code for adoption by appropriate authorities. It is essentially a minimum set of regulations thought to be necessary for public health, fire safety, and structural sufficiency. It establishes a standard of safety for building construction, including extensions or alterations, the evaluation of buildings undergoing a change of occupancy, and upgrading of buildings to remove hazards. The Code is composed of the following parts: scope and definitions; general requirements; use and occupancy; structural design; wind, water and vapour protection; heating, ventilating and air conditioning; plumbing services; safety measures at construction and demolition sites; housing and small buildings. |
