Regional In-Person Seminar (Long Beach, CA)

Join Mike Romanowski to learn about two important wood design topics: concealed spaces in light-frame and mass timber construction and tips to simplify mixed-use building analysis. This two-hour seminar will cover:

Concealed Spaces (e.g., dropped ceilings or soffits) in Wood Construction:

Fire protection requirements for concealed spaces in light-frame and mass timber buildings

Differences in treatment based on construction type and occupancy

Key provisions from the International Building Code (IBC) and NFPA 13 sprinkler standard

Simplifying Mixed-Use Building Analysis

Logical, code-compliant steps for determining building size, separations, and detailing

Special provisions for wood framing in Construction Types III, IV, and V

Examples, calculations, and details to help maximize building size while meeting fire and safety requirements

After the seminar, join us for Q&A and lunch.
