Overview

With one easy-to-use resource, discover all the information you need to understand the most critical updates to the 2015 International Fire Code®, the impact of those changes, and their origins. SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO THE 2015 INTERNATIONAL FIRE CODE® analyzes several of the new or revised provisions in the 2015 IFC®. Each change analysis contains the affected code sections and includes information to help identify if the text is new language, a modification of existing language, or if text has been deleted. The changes are also listed alongside illustrations or examples, in an effort to bring the technical language of the code into a real-world setting. The book's attention to detail, its logical organization, and its thorough yet concise coverage all make it an ideal tool for transitioning from the 2012 IFC® to the new 2015 edition.
