Internationally, code officials recognize the need for a modern, up-to-date mechanical code
addressing the design and installation of mechanical systems through requirements emphasizing
performance. The International Mechanical Code£, in this 2015 edition, is designed to meet these
needs through model code regulations that safeguard the public health and safety in all communities, large and small.
This comprehensive mechanical code establishes minimum regulations for mechanical systems
using prescriptive and performance-related provisions. It is founded on broad-based principles that
make possible the use of new materials and new mechanical designs. This 2015 edition is fully compatible with all of the International Codes (I-Codes£) published by the International Code Council
(ICC), including the International Building Code£, International Energy Conservation Code£, International Existing Building Code£, International Fire Code£, International Fuel Gas Code£, International
Green Construction Code£, International Plumbing Code£, ICC Performance Code£, International Private Sewage Disposal Code£, International Property Maintenance Code£, International Residential
Code£, International Swimming Pool and Spa Code¥, International Urban-Wildland Interface Code£
and International Zoning Code£.
The International Mechanical Code provisions provide many benefits, among which is the model
code development process that offers an international forum for mechanical professionals to discuss performance and prescriptive code requirements. This forum provides an excellent arena to
debate proposed revisions. This model code also encourages international consistency in the application of provisions.
