American Standard Chief Architect Library

The American Institute of Architects (AIA) Building Products Committee has published An Architect's Guide to Building Codes & Standards as part of their comprehensive library for architects. First released in 1990, this second edition serves as a trusted resource for navigating the complex world of building codes and standards.

Within its pages, readers will find essential information on:

- Building Code Requirements

- Accessing Accessibility Guidelines

- Energy Efficiency Standards

Architects rely heavily upon up-to-date knowledge when designing structures that must meet or exceed local, state, national, and even international regulations. An Architect's Guide to Building Codes & Standards provides an authoritative guide through the maze of codes, standards, and ordinances governing every aspect of building construction.

In addition to this invaluable resource from the AIA, architects should also consider keeping on hand other relevant texts such as:

- 'Architectural Building Codes: A Graphic Reference' by James G. Scott (Van Nostrand Reinhold; 1997)

- 'Architectural Design and Regulation' by Rob Imrie & Emma Street

These books offer in-depth explanations of key concepts while also providing a visual reference point for quick reference during demanding project timelines.

As the built environment continues to evolve, architects must stay informed about changing building codes and standards. An Architect's Guide to Building Codes & Standards remains an indispensable tool in their professional toolkit.

Ideal Standard Chief Executive Officer Torsten Turling recently emphasized the importance of forward thinking when it comes to meeting customer needs: 'New times require new solutions.' In line with this philosophy, Ideal Standard has innovated a cutting-edge approach that combines online showroom functionality with personal interaction. This holistic strategy aims not only to cater but also engage customers worldwide through an immersive experience centered around shared values.

In conclusion, architects who value staying current and compliant should make sure An Architect's Guide to Building Codes & Standards is part of their professional library.
