Quirks & watch-items
Quirks & watch-items
- Energy codes are very old: 2009 commercial, 2014 residential — 2-3 cycles behind building codes
- IPC and IFGC are on 2018 while IBC/IRC/IFC are on 2021 — companion codes not all on same cycle
- AR Fire Prevention Code is published as 3 volumes (Fire, Building, Residential) — unusual packaging
- Ozark and Paris are small cities in rural counties; statewide mandatory code still applies
