Following are the IS codes which are used for Functional Requirements In Buildings. These IS Codes include standardization in the field of functional requirements in buildings: from comfort point of view, such as space distribution, orientation, day-lighting, ventilation, acoustics and thermal comforts, from health and safety point of view, from the point of view of accessibility for persons with disability and from the point of view of energy requirements.
