Key Features & Benefits
- The 2015 International Building Code (IBC), published by the International Code Council (ICC), is a comprehensive model code that provides minimum regulations for the design, construction, and occupancy of buildings—except for one- and two-family dwellings and townhouses, which are covered by the IRC.
The 2015 International Building Code (IBC) lies in its use as the baseline legal standard for designing, constructing, inspecting, and maintaining safe and code-compliant buildings—excluding detached one- and two-family dwellings (which are typically governed by the IRC). The 2015 IBC is widely adopted by U.S. jurisdictions and is used globally as a model code.
The 2015 International Building Code (IBC) is a core reference document used in preparing for many licensing and certification exams, especially those administered by the International Code Council (ICC) and other state and national boards for building inspectors, plan examiners, architects, and engineers.
The 2015 International Building Code (IBC) uses several visual and organizational tools to make its large body of technical content easier to navigate, interpret, and apply—especially for architects, engineers, inspectors, and exam candidates. These tools are critical for quick reference in the field, plan review, or during open-book licensing exams.
