ICC-International Existing Building Code 2003

ICC-International Existing Building Code 2003

Internationally, code officials recognize the need for a modern, up-to-date code addressing repair, alteration, addition or change of occupancy in existing buildings. The International Existing Building Code®, in this 2003 edition, is designed to meet this need through model code regulations that safeguard the public health and safety in all communities, large and small. This comprehensive existing building code establishes minimum regulations for existing buildings using prescriptive and performance-related provisions. It is founded on broad-based principles intended to encourage the use and reuse of existing buildings while requiring reasonable upgrades and improvements. This 2003 edition is fully compatible with all the International Codes (I-Codes) TM published by the International Code Council (ICC)®, including the International Building Code®, ICC Electrical Code, International Energy Conservation Code®, International Fire Code®, International Fuel Gas Code®, International Mechanical Code®, ICC Performance Code for Buildings and Facilities, International Plumbing Code®, International Private Sewage Disposal Code®, International Property Maintenance Code®, International Residential Code®, International Urban-Wildland Interface Code and International Zoning Code®.
The International Existing Building Code provisions provide many benefits, including the model code development process, which 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.
