Resilient Construction with Engineered Wood: Sustainable, Code-Compliant Solutions
10-11 a.m. PST | December 11
Today’s building codes and standards address many of society’s top concerns regarding the built environment — from public health and safety to the environmental impacts of construction materials. As natural disasters become more frequent, severe, and costly, the need for more resilient buildings is paramount. This complimentary webinar explores the essential role of resilient construction and explains the APA resources that support resilient design. Learn how to meet or exceed code requirements by using engineered wood products (EWPs) to build strong, sustainable and energy-efficient structures.
This session covers key programs and standards that quantify resiliency, provides detailed construction drawings, and discusses installation best practices and those to avoid. Participants will also learn how to showcase the value of EWPs to their clients. Ideal for designers, engineers, builders and other industry professionals, this webinar will empower you to enhance building performance and occupant safety while promoting environmental stewardship.
AIA and ICC credit available to participants.
