Massachusetts Standard for Residential Construction in High Wind Regions 2020 pdf
The Massachusetts standard for residential construction in high wind regions in 2020 requires adherence to the International Residential Code (IRC) chapter R301.2.1. This code mandates the use of wind-resistant construction techniques and materials to ensure the structural integrity and safety of buildings in high wind areas. Additionally, the code outlines specific requirements for roof-to-wall connections, fastening systems, and other components to mitigate the risk of wind damage. Compliance with these standards is essential to protect homes and buildings from wind-related hazards in high wind regions.
