2027 ICC Performance Code for Buildings and Facilities®

The code uses performance requirements to allow for an equivalent design to the requirements of the IBC. Defines the objectives for achieving the intended levels of occupant safety, property protection, and community welfare. The code provides a framework to achieve the defined objectives in terms of tolerable levels of damage and magnitudes of design events, such as fires and earthquakes.

The 2027 ICCPC® presents provisions based on outcomes rather than prescriptive rules. It encourages new design methods by allowing broader options for meeting the intent of the International Codes®. An updated User’s Guide is included. For the most current adoptions details go to International Code Adoptions
