2012 International Residential Code Commentary, Volume 1 (International Code Council Series)

The 2012 INTERNATIONAL RESIDENTIAL CODE COMMENTARY, VOLUME 1 is much more than a codebook; it's an in-depth look at the code's real-world applications and a powerful reference tool designed to provide a solid foundation in its uses. The book's approach is unique; it pairs the text of the code with valuable commentaries that instill a deeper understanding of its provisions. From technical requirements and illustrations to discussions of its practical implications and consequences when not followed, coverage is complete and detailed, but never overwhelming. In fact, Volume 1 focuses solely on the regulations contained in chapters one through 11. As a result, this is an indispensable resource for anyone seeking an enhanced understanding of the 2012 IRC.
