Chapter 1 Scope and Administration • Chapter 1 has historically been re-written by Kentucky so as to address Kentucky specific needs and interests regarding building construction and code application. • The 2013 KBC follows the same formatting as the 2012 IBC. • Many of the KY amendments to Chapter 1 is code text carried forward from the previous edition and many you have seen since the 1980 edition of the KBC. However, there a few new sections we will review. 3

The underscored language is not new to the code but is new to the KBC. The 2013 KBC no longer deletes this text. The new language extends the codes intent beyond that of establishing safeguards for the public and building occupants. It extends application to the protection of our fire fighters and first responders during any emergency operation and event. 4

Section 506. 2. 1 Width Limits • Revised text and new equation via 2012 IBC added for clarification • 506. 2. 1 Width limits. To apply this section the value of W shall not be less than 20 feet. Where the value of W varies along the perimeter of the building, the calculation performed in accordance with Equation 5 -2 shall be based on the weighted average calculated in accordance with Equation 5 -3 for portions of the exterior perimeter walls where the value of W is greater than 20 feet…W shall be measured perpendicular from the face of the building to the closest interior lot line.
