New Publication: Improving Rehabilitation Codes for Historic and Existing Buildings

After two years of work and thanks to funding provided by NCPTT (the National Center for Preservation Technology and Training), APT’s Committee on Codes and Standards released “Improving Rehabilitation Codes for Historic and Existing Buildings,” a 110 page digital publication. This document provides detailed information to advance modifications to the model construction codes in the U.S. that can better serve historic and other existing buildings.
