The intent of this book is to summarize the allowable wood use in buildings in accordance with the International Code Council’s (ICC) 2021 International Building Code® (IBC®). Emphasis is placed on the design flexibility permitted for wood in commercial construction. New in the 2021 Code Conforming Wood Design (CCWD) and the IBC is content specific to the three new Types of Construction that were added to the 2021 IBC: Type IV-A, IV-B and IV-C. Height and Area tables have been updated for each new Type of Construction. Additionally, new provisions added elsewhere in the code applicable to mass timber construction are identified.
