Windows In a
New Addition
Section N1102.3.2, see attached explanation.
Wall Bracing
When a second story addition is made to a residence the first floor wall
bracing must be brought up to code with engineering documentation. If
an addition is made to a residence care should be taken that the existing
is not compromised and that the wall bracing is still within code
compliance.
New load tables are being established for southern yellow pine. The
load table for 2X4 lumber has been adopted by SPIB which will affect
the truss manufactures but will not be a code requirement until 2015.
When the floor framing is perpendicular to the rated wall heavy timber
construction may be used at the band to meet the 1 hr. fire rating.

Property Line.
Windows in an addition must meet the current code. Old windows from
the existing house cannot be used unless they can meet the 15%
exception allowed by Section N1102.3.3
This is measured from the property line to the face of the finished wall,
(includes siding or cladding material such as vinyl siding, hardboard,
fiber-cement and brick veneer, etc…).
Townhouse
You cannot use 2 independent 1 hr rated walls to meet the exception for
Separation
sprinklers. You must use common 2 hour rated walls between
Section 302.2.5 townhouses. There is a code change proposal in the works and will
monitor for BCC approval.
Wall Bracing
It is acceptable to use gypsum wall board as wall bracing for interior
walls.
