Construction class codes

Note: Touchstone applies non-engineered building damage distributions to the following construction classes: 101, 102, 103, 104, 111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 173, 174, 178, 179, 261. This action occurs regardless of occupancy class, including the industrial facility (400-series) occupancy classes. This note applies to the Verisk Earthquake Model for Japan. to the Verisk Earthquake Model for Canada, and the Verisk Typhoon Model for South Korea.

Note: We implemented solar codes across all regions. They are initially available for the Verisk Severe Thunderstorm Model for the United States.

Note: Touchstone also supports non-Touchstone construction and occupancy class codes, although we always recommend translating non-Touchstone codes to Touchstone codes wherever possible before importing your data. For more information, see the topics about non-Touchstone codes in the Help provided with your Touchstone Client.
