Comprehensive in scope yet practical in nature, the 2009 International Residential Code® Study Companion offers readers the tools needed to build a strong foundational knowledge of the code and then effectively apply it. Coverage ranges from building, mechanical, and plumbing provisions to fuel gas and electrical provisions. Special emphasis is given to building planning requirements and the floor, wall, ceiling, and roof framing provisions. The study guide's real-world learning exercises, quizzes, commentaries, code excerpts, and illustrations all combine to highlight the code's key concepts and encourage critical thinking. The outcome of all these powerful learning aids: a valuable self-study guide that will benefit readers from a variety of backgrounds.
