CODE UPDATE: Significant Code Changes to the 2009 International Residential Code | ||||||
A modification to design criteria (Section R301.2.1.1) has been made to the 2009 International Residential Code (IRC). The IRC now recognizes structural insulated panel (SIP) construction for high wind areas, bringing the list of design alternatives to six. The new ICC-600 standard for high wind areas has replaced the legacy code standard SSTD 10. Additional text clarifies that building elements not addressed in the referenced methods of construction need to comply with the provisions of the IRC. |

The Significant Changes to the 2009 International Codes series has been developed by the International Code Council and published by Delmar, Cengage Learning to accommodate the transition from the 2006 to the 2009 editions of the International Codes. |
