I wonder if it would be possible to require all future construction to be designed in a way that it could easily be switched between commercial/residential. Like each floor of an office building has to have plumbing roughed it to support x number of toilets/showers on each floor, stuff like that.
Really, really not necessary and really not practical.
Short answer is nope. Commercial and residential building codes are very different, as are the engineering requirements.
