While some states provide integrated codes such as the California codes and the New York City building codes, these are not available in all cases.
Where these are not provided, UpCodes has integrated the local amendments in jurisdiction like Pennsylvania and New York State. Every three years the ICC works to publish a new set of I-Codes that can be adopted and modified by each state. The Construction Codes for each jurisdiction will be selected from this set of publications. Most states follow a three-year code adoption cycle in order to keep up-to-date with the ICC revision process. The I-Codes may indicate your project is required to have a sprinkler system throughout the building.
The I-Codes do not indicate exactly how the sprinkler system must be designed. However, the I-Codes adopt NFPA 13, Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems which provides you with the requirements on sprinkler head spacing, sprinkler type, location, etc.
This is also typical to other systems such as fire alarms. Every new building and even existing buildings must be designed to accommodate handicapped patrons. Therefore, it is important to determine the application of each document based on the project scope and location.
