UpCodes Libraries

The foundation of UpCodes lies in its four integrated libraries: The Code library, the Diagrams library, the Assemblies library, and the Products library. These libraries are interconnected allowing for a seamless research workflow between them. Each library offers specialized features, tools and filters to enhance the research, understanding, and application of building codes and related content.

Code Library

The Code Library consolidates all relevant building codes into a single, reliable, and up-to-date resource. With this library, you can:

  • Seamless Access to Codes: Gain access to code adoptions, updates, errata, and amendments specific to their jurisdiction.

  • Compare Codes by Jurisdiction or Code Year: Understand the evolution of codes to gain context and better comprehend the requirements.

  • Filter Codes by Name, Year, or Publication: Curate research by filtering and searching according to name, year, or publication within a specific jurisdiction.

This library ensures that users have the most current and comprehensive set of building codes, facilitating easier compliance and research.

Diagrams Library

The Diagrams Library provides detailed visual representations to help users understand complex code requirements. With this library, you can:

  • Visually Unpack the Code: Gain a clearer understanding of specific requirements through visual explanations.

  • Filter Through Diagrams: Navigate diagrams by filtering across jurisdiction, code year, code type, topic, and construction phase.

  • View Related Code Sections: Quickly access various code sections that correspond to a diagram, providing context and detailed information on requirements.

This library enhances comprehension through visual aids, making it easier to interpret and apply building codes.

Assemblies Library

The Assemblies Library modernizes the research of building assemblies, streamlining the design-to-construction process with advanced tools. With this library, you can:

  • Scan Assemblies with Easy-to-Read Titles: Optimize research with descriptive AI-generated titles for each assembly listing.

  • Curate Assemblies That Match Project Criteria: Bookmark assemblies that meet project criteria and requirements.

  • Collaborate on Assembly Research: Organize internal conversations around specific projects and assemblies being researched.

This library supports efficient collaboration and research, ensuring that project-specific requirements are met effectively.

Products Library

The Products Library simplifies the discovery and selection of building products, ensuring efficiency and compliance. With this library, you can:

  • Gain Product Awareness and Context: View a product’s sustainability metrics, properties, BIM files, and up-to-date specifications.

  • Store Products and Collaborate: Curate products that meet project criteria and collaborate on further research.

  • Contact Manufacturers or Order Product Samples: Directly contact manufacturers or order samples of products.

This library helps streamline product selection, ensuring that users find the most suitable and compliant products for their projects.

UpCodes Libraries provide a comprehensive, integrated platform for building code research, visualization, and application, enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of compliance efforts. In addition to the Libraries, we also build additional tools aimed at making your design process easy.
