Course Description:
This seminar will take an in-depth look at each occupancy classification within the 2014 Indiana Building Code. This class will identify each classification, their groups, their special requirements, and how they interact with each other from mixed uses, incidental uses, and everything in between. Upon completion of this seminar, the student should have a firm understanding of each classification, which will help them assign the correct group in the planning phase, assist with occupant loads and life safety requirements unique to each group in the plan review phase, and also act a checklist of sorts during the inspection phase, to ensure each element is applied correctly to the appropriate use.
