Illinois Design Environment

Building Code (statewide)
No single statewide commercial building code — local adoption of the IBC (Chicago runs its own code)
Commercial Energy Code
Illinois Energy Conservation Code — statewide, currently based on the 2021 IECC
Climate Zone(s)
5A across most of the state, transitioning to 4A in the far south
Seismic
Low in the north (SDC A–B), but far-southern Illinois near the New Madrid and Wabash Valley seismic zones can reach SDC D — among the highest in the Midwest — requiring rigorous seismic design
Wind
Basic wind speeds around 105–115 mph (Risk Category II); Chicago's lakefront exposure raises design pressures on tall buildings
Snow
Ground snow loads commonly around 20–25 psf, higher near Lake Michigan with drift considerations

East Hazel Crest may enforce local amendments on top of the statewide baseline. We verify the governing editions and amendments with the East Hazel Crest permitting authority before design begins.

Permitting & Licensure in IL

Permitting Landscape

Permitting in Illinois is highly localized. Chicago runs a rigorous, self-certification-eligible review under the Chicago Construction Codes, while suburban municipalities and downstate cities each set their own review processes and adopted editions. There is no statewide building permit, so early AHJ confirmation is essential — but the statewide energy code applies regardless of jurisdiction.

PE Licensure — Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR) — Board of Professional Engineers

Illinois licenses engineers by endorsement for those with an NCEES record; electronic seals and digital signatures are accepted for plan submittals under IDFPR rules.
