Which of the following codes is not specifically referenced in the International Building Code?

1. International Property Maintenance Code

2. International Fuel Gas Code

3. International Energy Conservation Code

4. International Zoning Code

The correct answer is: International Zoning Code

The International Zoning Code is not specifically referenced in the International Building Code, which focuses on structural, safety, and occupancy requirements for buildings. The International Building Code primarily addresses the design and safety aspects of buildings to ensure public health and safety, including structural integrity, fire safety, and means of egress, among other factors. In contrast, the other codes listed are specifically referenced and considered important for various aspects related to building design and safety. The International Property Maintenance Code outlines minimum maintenance standards for existing buildings, ensuring they are safe and habitable. The International Fuel Gas Code provides regulations for the safe installation and operation of fuel gas piping systems and appliances. The International Energy Conservation Code sets standards for energy efficiency in new and existing buildings. Because zoning regulations pertain to land use and development rather than the technical aspects of building construction and safety covered by the International Building Code, the International Zoning Code is not included as a referenced code within the International Building Code framework.
