Summary of Recommended Changes to Construction Codes
Under Title 15A State Construction and Fire Code Act
Overall Summary of Proposed Changes:
There are 6 areas of change recommended:
1. Change the adopted construction codes from the 2012 International Code Council (ICC) codes to the current 2015 ICC codes.
2. Delete existing amendments that are no longer needed because the 2015 ICC codes now adequately addresses the reason for the Utah amendment.
3. Modify existing amendments to coordinate with revised text in the 2015 ICC codes and requirements imposed by other state laws or agencies.
4. Delete or modify selected new requirements of the 2015 ICC codes if not recommended for adoption in Utah.
5. Change the 2015 International Existing Building Code (IEBC) together with amendments from an approved code to an adopted code.
6. Change the current residential energy provisions to the 2015 IECC and Chapter 11 of the 2015 IRC.
With the exception of the residential energy recommendations, the Committees have encountered limited opposition to the proposed code changes with most persons attending the meetings agreeing that the changes should be made.
As to the residential energy code provisions of the 2015 IECC and Chapter 11 of the 2015 IRC, this subject has been discussed at great length. These recommendations are a compromise solution among the interested parties.
Persons interested in the full discussion or material may review the committee’s agenda, minutes, recordings and material which are located at http://dopl.utah.gov/programs/ubc/index.html (Click on View Commission or Committee Agendas, Minutes and Materials).
