International Mechanical Code 2024 [paper_back] International Code Council [Aug 30, 2023] 1st Edition

The 2024 International Codes (I-Codes) have undergone substantial formatting changes as part of the digital transformation strategy of the International Code Council (ICC) to improve the user experience. The changes, promoting a cleaner, more modern look and enhancing readability and sustainability, include:

* Single column text format and modernized font styles improves readability
* QR Codes replace vertical margin sidebars and arrows to identify code changes more accurately
* Shading for table headers and notes improves locating tables and applicable notes
* Grouping of associated content brings tables and figures immediately after the parent section
* Users have capability to validate authenticity of their book and register it with the ICC to receive incentives.

The International Mechanical Code (IMC) establishes minimum regulations for mechanical systems using prescriptive and performance-related provisions. The IMC was developed with broad-based principles that make possible the use of new and innovative materials, methods and design.

ICC is a leading organization dedicated to developing a single set of comprehensive, coordinated national model construction codes. To date, 48 U.S. states have adopted various international codes from ICC.
