Book excerpt: Learn to apply the International Building Code and International Existing Building Code to historic buildings Written for architects, engineers, preservation, and code enforcement professionals, this is the only comprehensive book that examines how the International Building Code (IBC) and the International Existing Building Code (IEBC) can be applied to historic and existing buildings. For ease of use, the book is organized to parallel the structure of the IEBC itself, and the approach is cumulative, with the objective of promoting an understanding of the art of applying building regulations to the environment of existing buildings. Building Codes for Existing and Historic Buildings begins with a discussion of the history of building regulations in the United States and the events and conditions that created them. Next, it provides thorough coverage of: The rationale behind code provisions and historic preservation principles Major building code requirements: occupancy and use, types of construction, and heights and areas Building performance characteristics: fire and life safety, structural safety, health and hygiene, accident prevention, accessibility, and energy conservation Case study projects that reinforce the material covered Additionally, the book includes building analysis worksheets both blank and filled-in versions with examples that illustrate how to develop a code approach for an individual building. If you are a professional at any level who is working on creating a plan that meets the intent of the code for historic or existing buildings, Building Codes for Existing and Historic Buildings gives you everything that you need to succeed.

Book excerpt: If you own a historic building, what do you need to know about building codes? How do you find out which codes and other regulations apply in your community? When must you strictly adhere to the code provisions, and when can you and the code official work out an alternative that preserves your buildings historic features? These are just some of the questions answered in Building Codes and Historic Buildings, by Melvyn Green, P.E., and Anne Watson. "The main key to using building codes for historic structures is to learn how to work within the system," the authors state. "Know which codes apply to the project and how to use those codes to produce the best safety and preservation results." Building Codes and Historic Buildings will help you to do that. Its an easy-to-follow reference, with case studies, that provides a basic overview for new property owners, and also clarifies points and fills in information for more experienced owners.
