Sobre este producto
  • The 2024 International Residential Code is more than an update; it's a fundamental shift toward resilience, electrification, and performance-based design. For practitioners, navigating this new landscape is the single greatest challenge and opportunity for future practice.As the author, Manfred Bauer, I have structured this comprehensive guide to go beyond a dry list of changes. This book is your essential partner for translating the code's complexity into buildable, resilient, and intelligent residential design. I connect the dots from the code's historical context to the future of digital compliance, ensuring you understand not only what changed but why.This guide is built for architects, builders, and inspectors who need to implement these changes in the field.Inside, you will discover:Part I – Context & Evolution: Understand the why behind the 2024 IRC, including a clear 2021-to-2024 comparison, the code's new focus on resilience, and its coordination with the IECC and IBC.Part II – Structure & Safety: Master critical updates to braced wall lines, structural integrity, fire separation, egress, and the integration of Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) provisions.Part III – Environmental Loads & Envelope: Get definitive guidance on integrating the new ASCE 7-22 wind and environmental load requirements. Navigate the deep alignment with the IECC for energy, airtightness, and moisture management.Part IV – Materials & Methods: Explore new compliance pathways for alternative and off-site construction (modular, panelized) and the updated provisions for timber, steel, and hybrid systems.Part V – Mechanical, Plumbing, & Electrical Systems: Grasp the future of home infrastructure, from PEX manifold installations and storm drainage sizing to the expansion of GFCI/AFCI, EV charging readiness, and induction cooking.Part VI – Implementation & The Future: Look ahead to the new realities of digital plan review, AI-assisted code checking, and the future trajectory of codes, including embodied carbon.More than just a "what," this guide delivers the "how" and "why." Each chapter includes a "Reflection" that connects technical compliance to the cultural, ethical, and practical responsibilities of modern construction.This book is an indispensable resource for architects, builders, code officials, inspectors, and advanced students who refuse to see the code as a mere constraint. See it as I do: an instrument for building a resilient, safe, and sustainable future.
