Practical and reader-friendly, the 2015 INTERNATIONAL BUILDING
CODE COMMENTARY, VOLUME 1 is a powerful resource that addresses the
practical implications of the code critical for anyone entering the
building industry. Its effectiveness lies in its use of a unique formula
that has made previous editions so successful: it combines the text of
the code with valuable commentaries that offer a more in-depth and
applied understanding of its regulations. Although it includes the
technical requirements of the code, it goes beyond these to explore its
meaning, its applications, and the potential consequences when it is not
followed.
