G21-16
▲▲▲	IBC: 202; IEBC: 202, [BS] 606.2.4 (New)	Deletes without substitution section 202 definition “[BS] Substantial structural damage,” and revises section 202 definition in 2015 IEBC “Substantial structural damage” to make editorial revisions that clarify the intent of the definition and facilitate its implementation. For IBC - The term 'substantial structural damage' was used in Chapter 34. It should have been deleted from the IBC when Chapter 34 was removed. For IEBC - The edit changes "this code" to "the IBC." The current language is an obsolete holdover from the version of the definition that went with IBC Chapter 34.

Cost Impact: Will not increase the cost of construction. This change is editorial and therefore will not change any construction requirements.	Same as change between 2015 IBC and 2018 IBC

G22-16
▲▲▲	IBC: 202; IEBC: 202	Adds section 202 definition “[BS] Substantial structural damage,” and revises section 202 definition in 2015 IEBC “Substantial structural damage” to clarifies the definition of "substantial structural damage" by replacing "supports" with "tributary area". This corrects a problem by substituting terminology that engineers have little trouble applying.
Cost Impact: Will not increase the cost of construction. This is a clarification / editorial change. As such, this proposal has no implications on the cost of construction.	Same as change between 2015 IBC and 2018 IBC

G23-16	202	Revises section 202 definition “Vapor permeable membrane” to revise the defined term to "vapor permeable" is appropriate, since the definition is about the property, not the material.

Cost Impact: Will not increase the cost of construction. This proposal makes not material change to the code or the definition that has cost implications.	Same as change between 2015 IBC and 2018 IBC

G24-16	202	Revises section 202 definition “Vegetative roof” revise the definition of "vegetative roof" so that it correlates with ASTM D1079.

Cost Impact: Will not increase the cost of construction. The proposed change is a clarification and does not change the stringency of existing code requirements so the cost of construction will be unchanged.	Same as change between 2015 IBC and 2018 IBC

G32-16	423.1, 423.1.1, 423.2, 
423.3,
423.4,
1604.5	Revises section 423.1 “General,” revises section 423.1.1 “scope,” revises section  423.2 “Definitions,” revises section 423.3 “Critical emergency operations,” revises section 423.4 “Group E occupancies,” and revises section 1604.5 “Risk Category” to clarify the intent of the code.  The code change was further modified by public comment.  This public comment is intended to remove the reference to emergency management officials in Section 423.1 and instead install language in Section 423.1.1 that simply clarifies the scope of ICC500. In addition, in Section 423.3 the phrase "as a Risk Category IV structure"
is added to clarify how this type of structure is required to comply with Table 1604.5.

Cost Impact: Will not increase the cost of construction. As this is intended as a clarification only, the cost of construction will not be increased.	This change is not similar to that of the FBC. The FBC provides for Florida specific changes to this section	
Overlapping provision to be considered during step 2 of the code change process
