<abstract displayLabel="Summary">Building codes cover aspects of construction and vary considerably with the type or use of the facility. Typically codes include four basic elements. Many of the laws apply only to newly constructed buildings because the cost and inconvenience of retrofitting older buildings can be considerable. Most cities and states adopt fire-safety codes written by one of the standards-making organizations, such as the National Fire Protection Association, or NFPA, or by the model-codes groups, such as the International Conference of Building Officials, or ICBO, in Whittier, Calif., and the Building Officials and Code Administrators, or BOCA. Model-codes groups like the ICBO often use codes from the NFPA</abstract>
