Construction class codes

The range of Touchstone 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
