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.
The 2024 International Residential Code (IRC) provides detailed guidelines for constructing one- and two-family dwellings, as well as townhouses, up to three stories. This course explores gravity and lateral loads, their regional applicability, and how they transfer through a building to the ground. The course will examine proper wall bracing connections, analyze load paths, and assess the scope and limitations of prescriptive building codes. Learners will be equipped to evaluate structural stability and code compliance.
