The Effects of the 2007 CBC on Existing Buildings

The new 2007 CBC based on the 2006 IBC has created several issues when an existing building is altered.  Issues such as occupancy classifications, allowable areas, means of egress and accessibility must be resolved before plans can be approved.  Critical problem areas, such as common path of travel and protection of openings will be discussed. 

This session is designed to provide examples of these issues in a workshop format.  Both Paul Armstrong and Chuck Daleo have done extensive training in the new CBC and they will encourage questions that the attendees may have already experienced.
