2015 International Existing Building CodeThe 2015 International Existing Building Code (IEBC), developed by the International Code Council (ICC), provides minimum regulations for the repair, alteration, change of occupancy, addition, and relocation of existing buildings. Used in many state contractor and building official licensing exams offered through 1 Exam Prep, this code is integral to construction professionals preparing for trade, residential, or commercial certification exams. It aligns with Florida Building Code adoption and supports study materials for general contractor, building inspector, and renovation licensing courses. This reference work ensures code compliance knowledge for structural safety, accessibility, and energy conservation requirements applicable to both public and private projects under the authority of state licensing boards and testing vendors such as PSI and Prometric. Learn the requirements needed to instill safety and stability in existing and historic buildings - without requiring full compliance with the new construction requirements in the building code. The 2015 INTERNATIONAL EXISTING BUILDING CODE SOFT COVER contains requirements intended to encourage the use and reuse of existing buildings by covering important topics such as repairs, alterations, additions, and changes of occupancy, making this an ideal addition to a user's code products. Chapter changes in this updated code include requirements related to the addition of sleeping units and dwelling units as they relate to the requirements for Accessible units, and Type A units and Type B units have been moved to Chapter 11 on Additions.
