Code Source: Accessibility

Code Source: Accessibility.  With this single resource, readers can learn to translate key accessibility requirements into clear, understandable and easily applicable explanations. It's all contained in Code Source: Accessibility, the groundbreaking resource that explores the accessibility requirements that apply to commercial, residential and existing buildings. The book focuses on four major industry publications: the International Building Code (IBC) and its accessibility reference standard (ICC/ANSI A117.1 – 2003), the Revised Americans with Disabilities Act and Architectural Barriers Act Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG 2004) and the Federal Fair Housing Act’s Accessibility Guidelines (FH Act). Working in agreement with one another, the standards set forth by these documents serve as the guiding principles for the construction of code-compliant buildings, and Code Source Accessibility: Codes, Standards, and Guidelines is the perfect collection of their most critical provisions. Not intended to replace the full accessibility requirements, this concise yet thorough resource will help readers to learn and quickly reference basic code-compliant accessibility standards for people with disabilities. It will also help readers to avoid the future pitfalls of not adhering to the standards, such as costly litigation and retrofitting, making it a tool they won't want to be without.

Features:

• Highlights critical compliance points with “Keys to Compliance” sections that emphasize need-to-know information 
• Offers opportunities for additional research by providing valuable code citations in a table that concludes each section, allowing students to easily reference the appropriate portions of the full requirements
