Document Summary
Chapter 3: construction types and building sizes: considerations that go into choosing a structural system and a construction type: building size and height, intended occupancy classification, affordability, and sustainability. Ibc and nfpa have construction types i-v: type i in both codes is noncombustible, required ratings for specific structural elements within each construction type may vary between codes. Ibc uses a written description and the nfpa uses their own. Igcc: includes requirements for material selection and the management of those materials during the construction process: allows performance analysis of materials which is accomplished by developing a life cycle analysis (lca) of the various components of the building. Criteria: fsc certified lumber= smartwood program and scientific certification. Igbc requires a certain proportion of the materials to be bio-based materials, derived from living matter. Understanding building height and area: control the overall size of a building, building"s size is determined at the time the building is originally constructed, comparing the code:
