Summary

This easy-to-use guide identifies the significant changes to the minimum regulations for residential building systems that occurred between the 2003 and 2006 editions of the International Residential Coder. Rather than addressing every code change, the book instead focuses squarely on those provisions that have special significance, are utilized frequently, or have had a change in application so that users can readily identify what changes occurred and why. A straightforward analysis of the impact of each change on the Code's application helps familiarize building and fire officials, plans examiners, inspectors, design professionals, and others in the building construction industry with the many important changes to the 2006 International Residential Code.
