This webinar aims to educate the Design Professional about how codes and approvals govern and improve the quality and performance of the building envelope. It covers the International Building Code (IBC), International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), National Fire Protection Association ( NFPA), wind uplift considerations, Underwriters Laboratories (UL), and Factory Mutual (FM) requirements that directly impact the development of building envelope solutions.

Learning Objectives:

1. Understand the specific provisions related to the building envelope design located within the International Building Code (IBC) and International Energy Conservation Code (IECC).
2. Discuss the importance of designing solutions that readily meet established wind uplift standards at the roof to wall details and overall wind resistance.
3. Understand Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and the different test methods for roof and exterior wall systems.
4. Review the components of Sustainability when designing a building envelope solution.

All participants who attend the entire 2 hour presentation will earn 2 AIA CES HSW credits.
