Every new home, remodeling project, or room addition must be designed and built in accordance with the codes that regulate the structural design, energy efficiency, construction quality, and overall safety of structures occupied by the public.<BR/><BR/>Codes dictate the size and configuration of stairs; the number and type of windows and glass; the amount of energy the house consumes; methods and materials of construction; the location of smoke detectors; and hundreds of other items.<BR/><BR/>A new homeowner may only be minimally aware of the impact of building codes on his home, since most code issues are addressed before he occupies it.
