    The 2024 edition of the International Building Code® (IBC®) contains significant, helpful, and useful updates to fire safety provisions for exterior wall assemblies containing combustible components and combustible exterior wall coverings. Key changes include new and revised defined terms, new provisions clarifying when vertical and lateral flame propagation testing (NFPA 285) is required and provides three (3) prescriptive compliance methods. Several New sections were added for building materials such as Insulated Metal Panel systems (IMPs) and Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) systems for exterior wall coverings. Additionally, significant reorganization and revisions of Section 104 Duties and Powers of the Building Official were made that provide the building official with more clear guidance and tools to both interpret and enforce the building code. This presentation will combine an overview of fire safety requirements for exterior wall assemblies based on the 2021 IBC with explanations regarding updates that were made to the 2024 IBC.
