2024 International Mechanical Code (IMC), ICC Paperback

2024 International Mechanical Code (IMC), paperback

The 2024 International Mechanical Code sets minimum regulations for mechanical systems through prescriptive and performance-related provisions. ICC wrote it on broad principles so new materials, methods and designs can be approved.

HVAC contractors, mechanical engineers, plans reviewers and mechanical inspectors use the IMC for ventilation, exhaust, duct systems, combustion air, chimneys and refrigeration. This is the 2024 paperback, ISBN 9781959851769.
