Outside the Box Plan Review

Instructor: Steve Thomas Description: The class addresses the true intent of alternative and or performance-based code versus the prescriptive code. It encourages students to look outside the box when evaluating unusual conditions or projects. The ICC Performance Code for Buildings and Facilities® (ICCPC®) will be reviewed as part of this class. Although not widely adopted, this code provides a method to deal with unusual conditions. It also describes the true intent of the I-Codes to assist in evaluating performance-based design.
