The International Building Code (IBC) is a model building code developed by the International Code Council (ICC) to provide minimum standards for the design, construction, and maintenance of new and existing buildings. It is adopted and enforced by many countries, states, and local jurisdictions in the United States and around the world. The IBC covers a wide range of topics, including fire safety, structural design, accessibility, energy conservation, and occupancy classifications. It aims to ensure the safety and welfare of the occupants of buildings while promoting sustainable practices and efficient use of resources.
