The 2006 Alberta Building Code (ABC) sets out technical provisions for the design and construction of new buildings. It also applies to the alteration, change of use and demolition of existing buildings. The ABC complements the 2006 Alberta Fire Code, and both are indispensable for building officials, educators and professionals in the construction industry.
New information has been added to the 2006 ABC to make it clearer, easier to apply to existing buildings, and more accommodating to innovation. It explains the objectives that the Code's provisions are intended to achieve and describes the functions that a building or its components must perform to fulfill these objectives.
The electronic version of the 2006 ABC does not contain the application and intent statements. These will be published in a User's Guide at a later date.
The electronic version allows users to easily navigate between the various Parts of the ABC. The integrated external links allow for instant cross-referencing to provisions in other Codes and the active internal links allow for consultation of cross-references, defined terms and Appendix Notes. The electronic version also includes an easy-to-use search engine. Technical changes or additions made relative to the 2005 edition of the National Building Code of Canada are indicated.
