*** This is the second and FINAL attempt to offer the course below***

The “code” focus will be taught by utilizing the structural chapters [1-10] of the 2021 Residential Code. The presentation will focus on the code using an exam preparation method, with the outcome not only being knowledge but also making students who desire the ICC Residential Certification designation more able to pass that ICC exam upon the course conclusion.

Course Description
The design and construction of apartment buildings requires the application of both fundamental and unique IBC requirements. This seminar focuses on those provisions that are commonly encountered in these types of residential buildings. Provisions specific to residential building classification, fire-resistance, fire protection, means of egress and accessibility will be addressed. In addition, detailed provisions discussed will include podium buildings, occupied roofs, incidental uses and dwelling unit separations.

Course Objectives

*Identify those IBC nonstructural requirements that are typically applicable to apartment buildings classified as Group R-2 occupancies.

*Establish a methodology for the review and application of the IBC provisions as they relate to the design, plan review and inspection of apartment buildings.

*Describe why the IBC requirements that are specific to apartment buildings differ from the requirements applicable to other types of buildings. *Determine the extent of accessibility required in apartment buildings.
