DRAFT 2, BILLS 270 (THE INTERNATIONAL BUILDING CODE
2006 EDITION ), 269 (2006 UNIFORM PLUMBING CODE)
AND 268 (2008 NATIONAL ELECTRIC CODE)
WHY DO WE NEED A UNIFORM CODE?
• Consistency - Each county has a different set of provisions regarding
building codes. This results in hardship for those involved in building
ownership, design, construction, and insurance.
• Synergy - The new code is better organized, clearer, and more
comprehensive.
• Health and Safety - The new code has higher standards relating to
emergency preparedness and design criteria. It is better adapted to
protecting public welfare.
• Mandate - The County of Hawaii has been mandated by Act 82 to adhere
to a uniform statewide building code.

EMERGENCY SHELTERS
SAFE ROOM
Act 82 requires design standards relating to "Emergency shelters being built in
compliance with hurricane resistant criteria"
It does not mandate the use of a residential safe room, but if one is installed, it
must adhere to the requirements set forth by Public Works draft 2 Bill 270,
section 422.
The Department of Public Works proposes that there be 3 ways in which R -3
structures can adhere to the these requirements:
1. Protect all windows of the home with impact resistive glazing or impact
protective systems
2. Protect all windows of the home using pre -cut plywood sheets
3. Add pre - installed permanent attachments on the walls and design the
home for partially enclosed conditions and provide one safe room.
These options accommodate a range of costs.
