Abstract
The International Code Council® promulgates a comprehensive set of 14 model building codes that serve as the basis for most jurisdictions’ construction codes. ICC’s codes are updated and published on a three-year cycle with the most current editions having a 2021 edition date. In the April issue, I discussed the roofing related changes incorporated into the International Building Code,® 2021 Edition; International Existing Building Code,® 2021 Edition; and International Fire Code,® 2021 Edition. Here, I will provide an overview of the roofing-related changes incorporated into the International Energy Conservation Code,® 2021 Edition; International Plumbing Code,® 2021 Edition; and International Residential Code® for One- and Two-Family Dwellings, 2021 Edition.
