NWW: 2018 International Existing Building Code Overview Webinar

Join us for this live 7-hour webinar with Steve Thomas. He will address the relationship of the 2018 International Existing Building Code to existing buildings. The webinar focuses on the fundamental requirements on an existing structure that undergoes repair work, alteration, renovation activity or construction of an addition, and the effect of a change in the building’s occupancy classification. Discussion will also include the “Performance Compliance Alternatives” method of evaluating a building. We will also discuss changes that occurred between the 2015 and 2018 editions of the code.
