The IBC code is for commercial construction while the IRC is for residential.

Great video on this topic, code regulation is a very important topic that needs to be discussed more.

[allengillean]

I may be wrong but if you read the scope of the IBC, in chapter 1, it basically says that the exception is one-and-two family dwellings no higher than 3 stories above grade and that you should refer to the IRC (International Residential Code) for these residential homes.

This video needs to be updated. The 120 SQ FT room requirement has been removed in IRC 2017. The egress window needs to have a 5 SQ FT of actual opening, in addition to the dimensions mentioned in the video.

Paid a lot of money for cic exam in va. It sounds Chinese to me. Your way of education is more clear. Thanks

[littlehuey]

One thing you should disclose is that all the dimensions you stated may not be in old homes and are grandfathered depending when constructed ! Had people tell me about how the apartment building I have was illegal because of this video! The building was built in 1935 with no changes other then mechanical updates and beautification!

I have a question regarding Installation of insulation. I had a house burn down and the original contractor took off with an additional I did know about but that's another story. I had most of the insulation put in before they changed the R value codes for 2019.It is a one story Cape in Massachusetts. I originally had unfaced insulation put up over all the rooms. I know I now need a vapor barrier and I need to increase the R value by adding more on top. The to insulation companies I had come in wanted to remove everything that was their put up faced insulation, And then add what I had already there on top. To me, the easier solution would be to staple a thick layer of plastic to the lathe And then just add more installation on top, without pulling anything out. So far no one has been able to tell me if this will pass code. My building inspector is very precise and by the book, In fact I've been told this town is one of the hardest to build in Massachusetts. Does this sound like something that will work? Pulling it up from the attic and essentially doing it over is going to be a lot of work and a lot of mess. Does this sound reasonable to you? Thank you kindly for your answer.

When speaking about emergency egress, I found it interesting that you used a living room as an example. I thought egress was only required in sleeping spaces. Or is that a fallacy of mine?

I am renting and I’ve had two windows in the kitchen replaced by the tenants due to it being a fire hazard. It was one of those with the cranks and it wouldn’t open fully. Some of the windows in the living room don’t open and if they do it’s a few inches. There is also airflow because heating and cooling in the house is terrible. These are some seriously old windows with the framings damaged. Would this be considered hazardous?

[botella]

thanks love it. are you posting changes per 2019 building code.

[geniferteal]

Does this apply to each individual room? Can bathrooms no longer have those tiny raised windows? What about kitchens? Counters in the way.

[cessarflom]

What if a basement drop ceiling cannot go above 7’ because of duct pipes ., all the ducts need to be moved?

[danbiss]

Does a house require a front/rear door if you have a front door and a window egress in a common living area?

[geniferteal]

If I have 12 feet of window space is there a functional difference between 4 3 ft Windows 3 4 ft Windows? I realize there's more framing which will be wasted space. 12 ft is not accurate I'm just making a general question here. Wondering if a crank out window that's 4 ft is just too big to catch the wind like a sail? In theory fewer dividers would make a cleaner looking window. What's the Practical side?

[sav_hkg]

Thank you very much for the explanation and examples, do you where I can search for a short notes version of the necessary building codes?

[daan]

Great video outlining the general codes, but it's really hard to follow the measurements for anyone outside the US. Bummer.

[d.w.]

Do you know about outside air ventilation through an apartment living room window with the kitchen as the adjoining room in a building 8 stories?
My 4th floor apartment living room window was restricted to only open 4 inches because on inspection it was deemed a fall hazard and now it's a ventilation hazard. I live in Washington state. I don't understand why the window isn't band from use in apartments that are two stories or more rather than allowing the window to stay and cutting off the outside air to the living room and adjoining rooms. Does anyone have any advice or information on this subject other than get a fan.
Thank you from Senior in Seattle
