The codes and technical standards that govern how buildings and structures are designed, built and maintained safely: structural, fire, energy and materials requirements for construction. Belongs here: a national or subnational building code (the Uniform Building Code, the National Building Code of Canada, the Florida Building Code, California's Building Standards Code), a regional structural design standard (the Eurocodes), an energy-efficiency construction code (the International Energy Conservation Code), and a technical construction standard (New Zealand's NZS 3604 for timber-framed buildings). Does not belong here: a general municipal or administrative code that happens to include building regulation among many other subjects, which belongs in this atlas's Administrative and Municipal Codes subcategory instead.
