IBC & IFC Fire and Life Safety Principles
Full-day ICC Seminar (Lunch Included)
Location Details: San Marcos Activity Center, 501 E. Hopkins, San Marcos, TX
Program: This seminar addresses the critical concepts of the 2024 editions of the IBC and IFC regarding fire and life safety issues. These concepts provide a basis for the correct use of the codes in building planning, classification of buildings and occupancies, fire-resistance-rated construction, fire protection systems and means of egress. The content addresses issues that are necessary for many designs and plan review decisions. During this training, participants will be listening to lecture and viewing examples, as well as discussing sections of the codes that pertain to fire and life safety principles in building. This is a great program, serving as both a refresher for experienced designers, consultants and code officials and as a perfect introduction to codes for people who are new to the industry or are looking to grow their code knowledge and code application skills.
