Information
The Village has currently adopted a set of standardized construction codes with
local amendments based on the International Code Council (ICC) and National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA) that apply to building construction and property
maintenance standards. As part of the strategic plan for the Village, the adoption
of the most recent code cycle was identified as a goal for the Building and
Inspection Services staff to complete. The code adoption process includes a review
of the Village's current amendments to the last adopted edition of International
Codes and National Electric Code.
Building codes were established to protect the general health and welfare of the
public as it relates to construction and property maintenance standards. The codes
are continually reviewed internationally and nationally by the model code
organizations in response to new technology, materials, energy changes, weather
events, climate modeling, and fire/life safety events.
1
The ICC and NFPA typically update the published codes on a cycle of every three
years. Most municipalities, including Mount Prospect, usually update the codes
every two cycles or six years.
Currently, the Village has adopted and amended the codes, which includes:
2015 International Building Code (IBC)
2015 International Residential Code (IRC)
2015 International Mechanical Code (IMC)
2015 International Fuel Gas Code (IMC)
2015 International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC)
2014 National Electric Code (NEC as published by the NFPA)
The State of Illinois has not adopted a statewide building code; however, state
statues mandate all local jurisdictions follow the Illinois Plumbing Code (IPC) and
Illinois Energy Conservation Code (IECC) be followed by all municipalities in the
state (except for cities with population above 500,000). The IPC and IECC are not
being amended. Any local amendments to those codes require State approval. The
Village does not have any new amendments to suggest to these codes, so they
can remain as is.
The codes being recommended for adoption are:
2021 International Building Code (IBC) with local amendments
2021 International Residential Code (IRC) with local amendments
2021 International Mechanical Code (IMC)
2021 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC)
2021 International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC) with local amendments
2020 National Electric Code (NEC as published by the NFPA) with local
amendments (NFPA does not publish this document online, Community
Development has print version available for review)
Adopting current codes is a responsible practice to stay up-to-date on
technological and public safety requirements, and there are additional benefits for
the Village and its residents. Up to date building codes are a factor in the Village's
2
overall ISO rating, which also takes into account numerous Fire Department
related processes, procedures, training, and locational components.
A municipality's ISO rating can affect the insurance rates of the residents and
property owners, with a better ISO rating resulting in lower overall insurance
rates. Additionally, the FEMA flood insurance program uses a rating system that
evaluates the adopted codes of a municipality when adjusting rates for each
location. Again, more current code adoption can improve the rates.
The draft ordinance to adopt the 2021 codes includes the repealing of the previous
international and national codes adoption and local amendments, then adopt the
new codes with local amendments. This is done in order to make the code
amendment document easier to read, as opposed to having several iterations of
redline documents from code cycles of the past. The 2021 local amendments are
substantially similar to 2015 local amendments. Many of the changes are
'housekeeping' in order to make the international code language reflect Village
processes. For example, deleting or replacing international code language on
permits, appeals, penalties, and adjusting subsection numbering accordingly.
The Proposed Amendments and Changes in Amendments from 2015 to 2021
documents illustrate the local changes and are to be used in tandem to the
international codes (links provided above).
The most significant changes to the international codes was to the Building and
Residential codes. A summary of changes are attached.
Alternatives
1. Staff recommends the 2021 code cycle of codes with amendments for
approval by the Village Board
2. Discretion of the Village Board
Staff Recommendation
After careful review by Village Staff, the 2021 code cycle of codes are
recommended for approval by the Village Board with the attached list of
amendments.

21.501 DEFINTIONS OF WORDS AND PHRASES
Modify the definition of new construction as follows:
NEW CONSTRUCTION: An existing structure shall be considered as new
construction and shall meet all of the provisions of this Code and all other adopted
64
codes and standards for new construction when either of the following conditions
exist:
A. The linear feet measurement of demolished exterior and interior walls is
equal to or greater than fifty percent (50%) of the total linear feet of the existing
walls. For the purpose of this definition a wall is considered to be demolished when,
in the opinion of the Director of Building and Inspection Services, the structural
integrity of the wall has been compromised (no longer capable of supporting the
structure) or when two (2) or more components of the wall are removed; or
B. The square footage of the existing structure is increased te by -one hundred
fifty percent (150%) or greater . In single-
family homes and townhomes the habitable square footage shall be used as a basis
for determining the percentage of square footage increase.
Example: An existing structure of 1,000 square feet in area is increased by
1,500 square feet making it a total of 2,500 square feet® In this case® the entire
structure would be required to meet the requirements of new construction®
C. If the square footage of the existing structure is increased by less than one
hundred fifty percent (150%) , only the
new portion of the structure shall be required to meet the construction
requirements P except for the fire sprinkler requirements identified in section 21.501
for new construction, unless the existing structure is modified according to
subsection A of this definition, in which case the entire structure shall be considered
new construction. yy intent

SUMMARY OF INTERNATIONAL BUILDING CODE CHANGES FROM 2015 TO 2021
2021 International Building Code
All Types of Buildings
• Requirements of energy storage systems (building battery backup systems)
and how they are protected: room construction, allowable doors, overall use
group rating.
• Requirements of occupied roofs and how the emergency exiting is handled,
limits on the occupancy groups allowed, and if they are counted in the overall
building height/number of stories allowed.
• Type IV construction has been greatly expanded. Type IV used to include
heavy timber buildings (heavy wood beams and posts) but has now been
broken up into four categories: IV -A, IV -B, IV -C, and IV -HT. Types IV -A
through IV -C now identify specific requirements for mass timber buildings
(built up lumber beams and posts), while IV -HT continues to regulate heavy
timber buildings. The main difference between mass timber and heavy
timber is that mass timber uses a layering system of conventional lumber
(2x4, 2x6, etc.) to make larger wood structural elements, whereas heavy
timber is generally large individual pieces of lumber/wood thatmake up each
element. Mass timber can be built to much higher heights with more stories
in the building. This has also been referred to as wood high-rise construction.
• Some changes to the calculations of how to earn an allowable square footage
increase based on the amount of frontage a building has, and the amount of
open space around the building.
• Revised requirements for maximum door widths. Previously doors were
limited to 4 feet in width for each door. Now the door can be wider, but will
require assistance in opening the door based on an equation that calculates
pressure to open with a maximum pressure allowed.
• Requirements on key operated deadbolts have been updated and can be
used in certain situations where they were prohibited in the past.
• Updated code sections for new materials in construction: High Pressure
Laminate (HPL) and Metal Composite Material (MCM) used as exterior wall
finishes. Previously these products were only used on the interior of
buildings, but now have been modified to be weather resistant to function on
the exterior of buildings. Additionally spray foam insulation standards have
been added. Also the use of light transmitting plastic wall panels have been
identified with limitations on use.
• New requirements for intermodal shipping containers to be used in
permanent construction. The stacking and ganging of prefabricated metal
shipping containers has become a trend in construction because they are
made to be stacked at varying heights and are generally made to standard
SUMMARY OF INTERNATIONAL BUILDING CODE CHANGES FROM 2015 TO 2021
sizes. This update provides foundation and structural requirements for the
modifications of the containers.
Multi -Family & Commercial Buildings
• Requirements for smoke control in multiple story spaces (atriums) along
with emergency exiting regulations specific to atriums.
• Mechanical access locations in enclosed parking garages: requires outside fire
control access and greater fire separation ratings.
• Addition of fire containment systems. The most likely application of this is
where a glass curtain wall system extends beyond multiple levels of a
building. There will need to be a fire containment product or system against
the glass to prevent fire from slipping by the floor to the level above.
• Updated requirements for handrail on "social stairs." Social stairs are those
stairs most commonly found in large institutions that are in open spaces
(interior or exterior) and can be quite wide and sometimes promote seating
as part of the overall layout where people sit on the stairs to read, converse,
or relax.
Commercial Buildings
• Adds codes specific to special amusement areas (puzzle/escape rooms):
provides a definition of the area, where sprinklers are required, and how
emergency egress is required to work in spaces that are purposely designed
to keep you trapped and locked in for competition purposes.
Educational Buildings
• Updated requirements for locks in educational applications based on
requirements for intruders and lock down purposes. Locks have to be keyed
to the common area and free egress from inside the classroom for escape
purposes.
70
SUMMARY OF INTERNATIONAL RESIDENTIAL CODE CHANGES FROM 2015 TO 2021
2021 International Residential Code
• Updated requirements for braced wall lines that they be placed on a physical
wall or placed between multiple walls. This item brings into the residential
code some of the shear wall requirements found in the IBC for years for
structural purposes. Shear walls are not necessarily load bearing walls, but
walls that prevent a structure from twisting and wracking under wind, snow,
and seismic loads applied to the structure from the outside.
• Emergency escape and rescue openings now require a clear 36 -inch -wide
path to a public way. Previously the requirement was just for the escape
openings to get a person out of the house. Now it includes a provision to get
them safely away from the house to the right of way/sidewalk/street. There
is no provision for a sidewalk to walk on, simply a clear path. This may lead
to additional gates in fences if they exist and the elimination of some
vegetation barriers along the path to safety.
• An engineered design is required for storm shelters. Storm shelter
requirements have continuously been updated over the past several code
cycles to account for stronger winds and more severe weather, along with
providing the basis for design that did not exist previously.
• Deck design now considers snow load and tributary area for footing and post
height. This is in response to the number of failing decks and balconies across
the country. Historically deck foundations and posts are undersized or not
structurally designed at all.
• Specific requirements for deck guardrails were added to address structural
stability issues in previous codes. Exterior guard rails now match interior
guard rails and have new structural connection requirements previously left
to be ambiguous.
• Minimum footing size tables are revised to more accurately reflect current
practice. For both decks and conventional spread footings, the codes have
been updated to include more standardized requirements responding to
material advancements and soil conditions.
• New appendices for cob construction and 3D -printed construction are added.
While these types of construction have not been proposed in our area to this
point, the 3D- printed home may not be as far down the technology spectrum
as it seems. The new codes are trying to get in front of the curve by setting
limitations for these construction types.
• A 30 percent reduction of airflow is permitted for balanced ventilation
systems. This is a revision that builds on the whole house ventilation system
required in new homes, which reduces the previously codified requirements.
• A surge -protective device (SPD) is now required at the service panel. Instead
71
SUMMARY OF INTERNATIONAL RESIDENTIAL CODE CHANGES FROM 2015 TO 2021
of needing a surge protector at each receptacle in a home to protect devices
from surges, this requirement handles surge protection for the entire house
at the panel location. This will eliminate the requirement for individual surge
protectors at each location around the house.
• The number of receptacle outlets required for peninsular and island
countertops in kitchens is determined by the area of the countertop surface.
Previously the number of receptacles was based on the length of the peninsula
or island. This will likely result in more receptacles being required in islands
and peninsulas.
• GFCI protection is now required for damp and wet locations not included in
the other areas requiring GFCI protection.
