Content Description

This easy-to-use format includes the full text of ICC 500-2020: ICC/NSSA Standard for the Design and Construction of Storm Shelters, including tables and figures, followed by the corresponding commentary for each section. The commentary explains the background and intent of the requirements and suggests the most effective method of application. Published by the International Code Council and the National Storm Shelter Association, the ANSI-approved 500-2020 standard is referenced in the 2021 IBC and IRC and provides minimum design and construction requirements for storm shelters that provide a safe refuge from tornadoes, hurricanes and other severe windstorms. The standard provides design requirements for the main wind-resisting structural system and components and cladding of these shelters, including items such as occupant density, access, egress, sanitation, ventilation, fire safety and standby power. The 2021 IBC, under certain conditions, requires design of protected storm shelter areas in accordance with ICC 500-2020 for emergency operation centers, 911 call stations, police/fire/rescue/ambulance stations and the 2021 IBC abd IEBC for some Group E ocupancies. In addition to treating each section of the standard, this Commentary also addresses many items that have been revised or added since the 2014 edition. Updated load combinations and wind speed maps Clarifies requirements for falling debris and laydown hazards and has removed requirements for rollover hazards Where a fire separation is required between a shelter and a host building Establishing criteria for a design occupant capacity for a storm shelter Addresses requirements for shelters located within the 100-year and 500-year flood plains Increasing design options for occupant support areas, such as sanitation facilities Additional criteria for evaluation, maintenance and repair A new appendix with guidelines for storm shelter preparedness and emergency operations plans (SSPEOP) This publication provides an excellent resource for anyone who wants a better understanding of ICC 500-2020 and how its provisions can increase public safety in high-wind regions.

About ICC

The International Code Council is a member-focused association dedicated to helping the building safety community and construction industry provide safe, sustainable and affordable construction through the development of codes and standards used in the design, build and compliance process. Most U.S. communities and many global markets choose the International Codes. The International Codes, or I-Codes, published by ICC, provide minimum safeguards for people at home, at school and in the workplace. The I-Codes are a complete set of comprehensive, coordinated building safety and fire prevention codes. Building codes benefit public safety and support the industry’s need for one set of codes without regional limitations. Fifty states and the District of Columbia have adopted the I-Codes at the state or jurisdictional level. Federal agencies including the Architect of the Capitol, General Services Administration, National Park Service, Department of State, U.S. Forest Service and the Veterans Administration also enforce the I-Codes. The Department of Defense references the International Building Code for constructing military facilities, including those that house U.S. troops, domestically and abroad. Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands enforce one or more of the I-Codes. The International Code Council (ICC) is a nonprofit membership association dedicated to protecting the health, safety, and welfare of people by creating better buildings and safer communities. The mission of ICC is to provide the highest quality codes, standards, products and services for all concerned with the safety and performance of the built environment. ICC is the publisher of the family of the International Codes® (I-Codes®), a single set of comprehensive and coordinated model codes. This unified approach to building codes enhances safety, efficiency and affordability in the construction of buildings.
