The 2021 International Residential Code (IRC) for One- and Two-Family Dwellings is a model building code developed by the International Code Council (ICC) that sets minimum requirements for the construction, design, and maintenance of single-family homes and duplexes.

The IRC covers a wide range of topics related to residential construction, including:

1. Building planning and construction
2. Foundations, floors, walls, and roofs
3. Fire-resistant construction
4. Energy efficiency
5. Plumbing systems and fixtures
6. Mechanical systems, including heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC)
7. Electrical systems and wiring
8. Safety and emergency provisions
9. Accessibility requirements for individuals with disabilities

The 2021 IRC is intended to promote safety, health, and welfare for occupants of one- and two-family homes, as well as for the general public. Compliance with the IRC is typically required by local and state building codes, and failure to comply may result in fines or penalties.
