2006 International Building Code

International Building Code

The International Building Code (IBC) continues to establish minimum regulations for building systems using prescriptive and performance-related provisions. It is founded on principles that make possible the use of new materials and new building designs.

Scope
For every building or structure of any appurtenances connected or attached to such buildings or structures, the provisions of this code shall apply to the following: Alteration Construction Demolition Enlargement Equipment Location Maintenance Movement Removal Repair Replacement Use and occupancy

Intent
This code provides safety to the firefighters and emergency responders during emergency operations and establishes the minimum requirements to safeguard the public health, safety and general welfare through the following: Adequate light and ventilation Energy conservation Means of egress facilities Safety to life and property from fire and other hazards attributed to the built environment Sanitation Stability Structural strength

General Issues Code Section Section Title 2006 303.1 304.1 2003 303.1 304.1 307.1 and 307.9 Assembly Group A Business Group B Revised to correlate with Section 302.2. (Now Section 508.3.1) Added Training and skill development not within a school or academic program such as trade schools. Added language to provide a link between Sections 414 and 415. Also moved exceptions for Group H classification from Section 307.9 to 307.1. Stand alone section created from language in 307.9 (2003) to clarify that any amount of hazardous material would be regulated by Section 414 in addition to any other applicable requirements such as Section 415. Now allows congregate living facilities with 16 or fewer occupants to be classified as a Group R-3; otherwise, the occupancy classification would be Group R-2. This criteria is based upon the US census which determined that 98 percent of all homes have 16 or fewer persons. The criteria of 16 people is specific to congregate living facilities and would not apply to other uses listed in Group R-2. Added a new definition for congregate living facilities to coordinate with the addition of congregate living facilities to Group R. The term transient is defined to help differentiate between Group R-1 and R-2 occupancies. Change

General Issues Code Section Section Title 2006 2003 This section regulates playground structures in malls when they are greater than 10 feet in height and 150 feet in area. The requirements focus on size limitations, combustibility restrictions, necessary suppression requirements and separation distances from other structures within the mall. In high-rise buildings with supervised sprinkler control valves with initiating devices on each floor, the reduction in types of construction from IA to IB is limited to buildings 420 feet or less in height. An exception to this section was also added which would prohibit this reduction being taken from the columns supporting the floors. Change

Clarified that this section only applies to spaces not located within a Group H occupancy and meeting the definition of an atrium. Exception 5 of Section 707.2 was also revised to reflect this clarification. Deleted exceptions for smoke control to coordinate with a change to Section 404.1, general. Deleted language that reflected previous smoke control design requirements from the legacy codes. Now, the code does not need to prescribe that the volume of the areas open to the atrium be part of the computed volume as that will be addressed by the overall smoke control design strategy. Requires doors between private garages and dwelling units to be self-closing. Provides another option for ventilation of open parking garages to allow for unlimited area. Bases the need for such a curtain on the requirement for a proscenium wall with a fire-resistance rating. This is consistent with opening protection requirements throughout the code. Also clarified the difference between fire curtain and water curtain. Added an exception that allows smaller multitenant aircraft hangars (less than 2,000 square feet) to omit separators as long as the floor is graded towards the door. Service, repair or washing is not allowed. Allows vented infrared radiant heating equipment in addition to unit heaters within aircraft hangars without separation. Deleted the footnote limiting Group M and S occupancies to two control areas. Now allows the same number of control areas as any other occupancy. Provided a link to the provisions within Chapter 7 for separations between dwelling units and sleeping units as applicable. Change

Replaced term low-hazard processes with special industrial processes. Better describes the spectrum of activities described within the section. Section addresses both low and moderate level hazards. Moved exception addressing accessibility within body of the text. Deleted Exception 5 in the 2003 edition which is more restrictive than the new exception. New exception allows enclosed mezzanines if sprinklered and provides two means of egress. Revised title. See definition of Equipment Platform. Revised equations to contain factors instead of percentages (i.e., 2 versus 200). Clarified that basements can only be discounted from the total allowable area if considered a story below grade plane.

Allows maximum building area in a separated use building to be based upon the method provided in Section 508.3.3.2. The ratio can not exceed 2 in a 2 story building or 3 in buildings 3 stories or higher. Allows Group A-1 and A-2 occupancies within unlimited single story sprinklered buildings with certain restrictions related to separation, area restrictions and exiting. Added Sections 507.6 Group A-3 occupancies (Section 507.5 of 2003 IBC) and 507.10 Motion picture theaters (Section 507.9 of 2003 IBC) to the laundry list of sections that are allowed to reduce open space to 40 feet under certain conditions for unlimited buildings. Type I construction deleted as it would already allow unlimited area buildings. Revised title. 507.7 507.6 Group H occupancies Clarified that the Group H occupancies can be contained within unlimited area buildings if the building is classified as either Group F or S occupancies that comply with Sections 507.2 and 507.3. Also, more specific guidance on whether a Group H occupancy is allowed on the second story is provided. Added a new item to address that Section 402.6 allows covered mall buildings to be unlimited in area.

General Issues Code Section Section Title 2006 2003 Relocated these provisions from the section which was titled Separation. 508.2.2.1 302.1.1.1 Construction Clarified that the separation is either a fire barrier or a horizontal assembly. This change relates to a more substantial change to the definition of fire barrier and the introduction of a definition for horizontal assembly. Clarified the requirement for an automatic sprinkler system or automatic fire extinguishing system is required only in the incidental use area. Scope now includes accessory occupancies which used to be a stand alone section from nonseparated and separated occupancy requirements. Clarified that allowable area increases are not applicable to accessory uses. 508.3.1 302.2 Accessory occupancies Deleted Section 302.2.1 and added exceptions with the same language to this section. Revised to clarify that the accessibility requirements of Chapter 11 still apply to assembly areas found in Group E occupancies. Clarified that such areas need to be classified in accordance with Section 302.1 and that besides for any applicable high-rise and fire protection requirements in Section 403 and Chapter 9, respectively, the requirements based upon the occupancy classification of that space can be applied. This is similar to the requirements for nonseparated occupancies. Clarified that allowable height increases are not applicable to accessory uses. In contrast to 2003 provisions, this section does not reference the incidental uses as it is not a mixed occupancy. Additionally, the requirement to separate Group H-2, H-3, H-4 and H-5 as a separated mixed use occupancies is found in an exception instead of in the body of the code section. Previously titled Nonseparated uses. 508.3.2 302.3.1 Nonseparated occupancies 508.3.2 Nonseparated occupancies 508.3.2.1 Occupancy classifications 508.3.2.2 Allowable area and height 508.3.2.3 Separation Change

General Issues Code Section Section Title 2006 2003 Revised table completely. The focus is based upon separating dissimilar risks from one another versus providing separation requirements between like occupancies. Fire area separation requirements are addressed by Table 706.3.7. This revision was accompanied by the deletion of the exception to Section 302.3.2 (508.3.3) which allowed a 1 hour reduction in the fire resistance ratings when sprinklered. With the revision to the table this exception is no longer necessary. (See also update for Section 508.3.3.4.1). No significant changes from 2003. No significant changes from 2003. Clarified that all intervening stories need to be included when measuring the height of any portion of the building from grade plane. Deleted the fire-resistance-rating reduction for sprinklers was deleted. This relates to the entire new format for Table 508.3 that does not require fire barriers or horizontal assemblies for like hazards. The fire area requirements address those requirements independently within Section 706. (See update for Table 508.3.3). Revised title. Permitted Group S occupancies the allowances in Section 508.2 which also applies to both enclosed and open parking garages. Item 3 clarified that multiple Group A uses in the building above the S-2 enclosed or open parking garage are permitted as long as each of the uses has an occupant load of less than 300. Item 5 clarified that the construction type with the smaller allowable height was to be used as the limiting height. The height is to be measured from grade plane. Group B or M with Group S-2 open parking garage above Allows a Group B or M occupancy under an S-2 open parking garage to be considered as a separate and distinct building. Change

Some buildings have stories set back further than other stories in the same building. References a new table to clarify the equivalent minimum dimensions for solid sawn lumber and glued laminated timbers to meet the requirements for Type IV construction. Similar provisions are found within AITC 113. Provided equivalent minimum dimensions for solid sawn lumber and glued laminated timbers.

Means of Egress Code Section Section Title 2006 2003 Revised definition of Accessible Means of Egress - An accessible means of egress is similar to a typical means of egress in that it must allow for occupants to reach a public way, although sometimes with assistance. Areas of refuge and horizontal exits are components of an accessible means of egress, not a termination point. 1002.1 1002.1 Definitions Added the definition for aisle - Aisles are defined to clarify the differences between aisles and aisle accessways for all occupancies. Added the definition for merchandise pad - The merchandise pad was defined as part of the proposal to address means of egress requirements in mercantile occupancies. (See Section 1014.4). Change

Means of Egress Code Section Section Title 2006 1003.2 1004.1 Deleted 1004.1.1 Deleted Table 1004.1.1 2003 1003.2 1004.1 1004.1.1 1004.1.2 1004.1.3 Table 1004.1.2 Ceiling height Design occupant load Actual number Areas without fixed seating Number by combination Maximum Floor Area Allowable Per Occupant Added a maximum floor area per occupant of 35 sq. ft. net for day care facilities. Used 5 sq. ft. per person as an increased occupant load is a hazard to occupants. The increase to 7 sq. ft. is appropriate to avoid overcrowding, especially in assembly type occupancies. Requires an occupant load in fixed seating situations for areas not encompassed by the fixed seating itself, such as standing room, waiting spaces and wheelchair spaces. Deleted exceptions in Section 1007 for areas of refuge in sprinklered buildings. Expanded in Section 1109.7 where platform lifts as part of the accessible route into a space in new construction. The result of the revisions to this section is that a platform lift can be used as part of the accessible means of egress for the limited occupant spaces (i.e Items 1-9), but not when the platform lifts were used where exterior site constraints make use of a ramp or elevator infeasible (i.e. Item 10). The concern is that in this situation there may be a substantial number of people with disabilities that may need to exit the facility. Revised Exception 7 limits this door width exception so that it is not applicable for Group R-1 units, Accessible units, Type A units or Type B units. This is part of the ongoing coordination with new Americans with Disabilities/Architectural Barriers Act (ADA/ABA) Guidelines and the Fair Housing Accessibility Guidelines (FHAG). The result is that all doors within Group R-1 units, Accessible units and Type A units must provide a minimum of 32" clear width, and doors within Type B units must provide a minimum of 31-3/4" clear width. Reduced the threshold for panic hardware in Groups A and E has been to 50 or more. Panic hardware is required for all Group H, including Group H-4. The new exception resolves a possible conflict with Section 1008.1.8.3, Item 2. The requirement for panic hardware in electrical rooms has been coordinated with the ICC Electrical Code (ICC EC). Clarified that determining occupant load for purposes of means of egress can be the actual load when less than that required by the table. Increased the minimum ceiling height to 7-6". This will be consistent with Section 1208.2. Change

This will allow clarification for when handrails are used in other locations, such as along ramps. Requires guards when the roof hatch or mechanical equipment is provided within 10 ft. of a roof edge. Added Item 2, Exception 2 to specify when egress through a back storage area in a mercantile facility would be accepted, but some editorial changes were made for clarification. Exception 4 was added. The travel distance for an individual unit in Group R-2 has been increased to 125 ft. when a NFPA 13 system is provided. Added provisions to clarify the requirements for aisles and aisle accessways in Group M facilities. See also the new definitions for aisle and merchandise pad. Revised the maximum occupant load in row 1 to 49 as part of a code wide effort to make the cut-off for provisions consistently between 49 and 50. A maximum occupant load of 10 persons for Day Care was added to notes for the table. Revised the language in this section to coordinate with Section 1015.2.1 Two exit or exit access doorways and to eliminate the subjective language (i.e. reasonable distance) for the location of the third exit. However, to be considered an exit all exit doorways must be distinct and independent per Section 1019.1 Minimum number of exits. The intent is not to allow two adjacent doors to be considered as two exits. Added a maximum occupant load of 10 persons for day care facilities to notes for the table. Revised Exceptions 1, 3, 8 and 9. Exception 1 was expanded to be available for a stairway that connected a basement and first floor. Exception 3 was expanded to be allowable for within individual Group R-1 units in order to address apartment type hotel rooms. Exceptions 8 and 9 were modified to clarify that open exit stairways must be remotely located the same as enclosed exit stairways. Added the requirement that elevators cannot open into the exit enclosure to be consistent with the same provision for exit discharge passageways. Added Exception 3 to clarify that a pressurized stairway can use the exit discharge options available in Section 1023. Change

When parking spaces are provided, the number of accessible parking spaces should be calculated separately for each parking facility. Added Exception 2 as part of the coordination with Section 1106.1. When remote lots are provided, accessible parking spaces may be located in more accessible locations. The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has issued a statement that the 2003 IBC is a safe harbor document for complying with the Fair Housing Accessibility Guidelines (FHAG).

General Issues Code Section Section Title 2006 2003 Definition Primary area of function (New) Added a new definition to assist in the application of the accessibility provisions for existing buildings. The same definition was added to the International Existing Building Code (IEBC). Converted exception from Section 3403.1 to a requirement. The original language was actually a requirement related to the full compliance with flood design for new buildings. Correlated with several sections moved from Chapter 16 to Chapter 34 . Moved from Chapter 16 to more appropriately address seismic hazards in existing buildings. References are made to ASCE 7 instead of Sections 1613 through 1623. The terms cumulative since the original construction have been added to protect against the effect of incremental increases in seismic demand or decreases in seismic capacity resulting from multiple projects occurring over the life of the structure.

General Issues Code Section Section Title 2006 2003 Relocated the section which broadened the scope to include not only alterations but additions and change of occupancy as it relates to accessibility. Deleted the terms for accessible routes from the end of the section to clarify that the intent was not just that accessible routes be provided to an addition. Additions would require full compliance for new construction. Allows existing R-2 dwelling units to meet the type B dwelling unit requirements in accordance with Chapter 11 and ANSI 117.1 instead of complying with a type A unit. Correlates with new section 3403.1.1 and clarifies that if the alteration and repairs are extensive in a building located in a flood hazard area, full compliance for new buildings for flood design is required.
