MAE-40039 Study Guide

Fundamentals Building and Life Safety Code Regulations

About the Book

This textbook is designed for use in the UCSD Extended Studies MAE-40039 Building Code and Life Safety course. It guides readers through the fire and life safety requirements found in the two most widely adopted codes governing building design and construction: the International Building Code (IBC) and NFPA 101: Life Safety Code® (LSC).

While formatted specifically to support the MAE-40039 curriculum, this guide is also a valuable reference for architects, engineers, plan reviewers, and anyone involved in navigating, applying, or interpreting the fire and life safety requirements embedded in modern building codes. Whether used as a course resource or a professional desk reference, this textbook provides practical insights for working with the codes that form the legal foundation of building fire and life safety design.
