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 2024 IBC applies to all buildings except detached one- and two-family dwellings and townhouses up to three stories. The 2024 IBC contains many important changes such as:
* Duties and powers of the building official: an overall reformat of Section 104 regulating duties of the building official, the approach for reviewing for code compliance has been significantly updated to reflect the current manner that alternate materials, designs and methods are evaluated
* For the first time ever, the 2024 IBC includes provisions for tornado loadings
* Updated wind, earthquake, and snow loads
