From the Preface
The principal purpose of the Commentary is to provide a basic volume of knowledge and facts relating to building construction as it pertains to the regulations set forth in the 2006 North Carolina State Building Code: Residential Code. The person who is serious about effectively designing, constructing and regulating buildings and structures will find the Commentary to be a reliable data source and reference to almost all components of the built environment.
As a follow up to the North Carolina Residential Code, we offer a companion document, the North Carolina Residential Code Commentary. The basic appeal of the Commentary is thus: it provides in a small package and at a reasonable cost thorough coverage of many issues likely to be dealt with when using the North Carolina Residential Code – and then supplements that coverage with historical and technical background. Reference lists, information sources and bibliographies are also included.
Throughout all of this, strenuous effort has been made to keep the vast quantity of material accessible and its method of presentation useful. With a comprehensive yet concise summary of each section, the Commentary provides a convenient reference for regulations applicable to the construction of buildings and structures. In the chapters that follow, discussions focus on the full meaning and implications of the code text. Guidelines suggest the most effective method of application, and the consequences of not adhering to the code text. Illustrations are provided to aid understanding; they do not necessarily illustrate the only methods of achieving code compliance.
The format of the Commentary includes the full text of each section, table and figure in the code, followed immediately by the commentary applicable to that text. At the time of printing, the Commentary reflects the most up-to-date text of the 2006 North Carolina Residential Code. As stated in the preface to the North Carolina Residential Code, the content of sections in the code which begin with a letter designation (i.e., Section R102.7) are maintained by another code development committee. Each section's narrative includes a statement of its objective and intent, and usually includes a discussion about why the requirement commands the conditions set forth. Code text and commentary text are easily distinguished from each other. All code text is shown as it appears in the North Carolina Residential Code, and all commentary is indented below the code text.
Readers should note that the Commentary is to be used in conjunction with the North Carolina Residential Code and not as a substitute for the code. |
