Choose the applicable practice
IES publishes separate guidance for offices, education, sports, healthcare, older adults, and roadway and parking facilities. The directory below maps these settings to verified public catalog records. A product category cannot substitute for understanding the actual activity.
Turn the scope into a project brief
The application prompts below are our original editorial questions. Use them to gather the project conditions, then consult the full practice for recommendations and exceptions. Identify users and visual tasks before deciding whether an example from another facility is transferable.
Coordinate the requirements
Record the jurisdiction, adopted code edition, accessibility needs and specialist responsibilities. The existence of an IES publication does not itself establish which requirements are legally adopted for a particular project.
Keep evidence attached to decisions
For each selected criterion, retain the source edition, section and project assumption in the design record. For each specified product, retain the applicable test report and configuration. For each commissioned behavior, retain the actual settings.
