This course reviews the similarities and differences in the building codes for family residences and existing and/or historic buildings. The building codes consider residential occupancies to be single-family residences and duplexes. Family residences do not have as many interior-related regulations as other buildings, but a number of interior codes and standards are still required. Codes will apply to interior projects in existing buildings and historic buildings the same way they do for a new building most of the time. This course explores the four categories that define an existing structure and the two additional conditions that identify an historic building.
