IBC Wording - Canopy and Marquee

IBC Wording - Canopy and Marquee

IBC Wording - Canopy and Marquee

(OP)
Anyone have any insight in what is the difference between a canopy, awning and marquee? Thanks.

One has 75psf LL the other has 5psf + appropriate wind/snow loads.
Makes a big difference on these pure cantilevers that the architects all think looks so great.

RE: IBC Wording - Canopy and Marquee

From 2007 Ohio Building Code (based on 2006 International Building Code) 202 Definitions:

AWNING. An architectural projection that provides weather protection, identity or decoration and is wholly supported by the building to which it is attached. An awning is comprised of a lightweight, rigid skeleton structure over which a covering is attached.

CANOPY. An architectural projection that provides weather protection, identity or decoration and is supported by the building to which it is attached and at the outer end by not less than one stanchion. A canopy is comprised of a rigid structure over which a covering is attached.

MARQUEE. A permanent roofed structure projecting over an entrance attached to and supported by a building for the purpose of supporting a marquee sign.
