We are the leader in the development of building codes and standards for wood design, and provide online and live training to support their implementation.
Our education programs include courses related to the use of traditional and engineered wood products for residential and commercial applications, and are ideally suited for code officials and design professionals.
We have partnered with the International Code Council (ICC), and the American Institute of Architects (AIA), and National Council on Structural Engineers Associations (NCSEA) to grant professional continuing education.
This course offers a focused exploration of wood design according to the 2021 International Building Code (IBC), based on the Code Conforming Wood Design (CCWD) publication. Ideal for architects, engineers, and construction professionals, it covers key aspects of wood construction for commercial and multi-family residential projects.
Participants will learn to determine maximum building sizes for eight common use groups, establish fire resistance for wood assemblies and mass timber, and apply special provisions for podium buildings. The course also addresses criteria for wood finishes, appendages, and features, provides an overview of structural provisions in Chapter 23, and outlines essential construction precautions.
