Class Description

This course will focus on the code analysis provisions outlined in Chapters 3 through 6 of the IBC. Understanding how the code analysis is performed and shown on the plans will help to quickly identify key code deficiencies that may exist in the design. The code analysis should provide a summary of key life safety elements to be incorporated into the project and to understand the architectural design assumptions made.

Topics to be discussed will include occupancy classifications; the special detailed provisions of Chapter 4; allowable heights, number of stories, and areas; separated and non-separated occupancies; mixed-occupancies; unlimited area provisions; types of construction; and fire-resistive construction requirements based upon the type of construction or proximity to the property line.

Class begins promptly at 8:30 am and ends by 4:00 pm and offers six hours of continuing education units/credit. A hot breakfast and lunch, all-day coffee and refreshments will be provided to registered attendees.

Learning Objectives

• Understand the importance of a Code Analysis
• Learn about different occupancy groups and their requirements
• Discuss requirements for determining allowable height and area
