This class addresses the key issues of the 2018 International Building Code® (IBC®) regarding the proper classification of buildings. The process for correctly evaluating a building for code compliance relies on a systematic approach to the determination of occupancy classification and construction type. Everything starts with the correct building classification! A clear understanding of the classification process provides the groundwork for the proper application of many other important code provisions. Participants will be able to assign the appropriate occupancy classification, use Table 601 to assist in building classification, and gain an understanding of the varied provisions of Chapter 5 regarding allowable building heights and areas.
