2015 UCC Residential Code Update for Pennsylvania [Archive]
5/24/2016 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM
Instructor: Chris Hine

Description
There were close to 2000 amendments to the 2012 ICC family of codes, which, together with the existing 2012 code, made up the new 2015 ICC family of codes. The Pennsylvania Review and Advisory Council reviewed those amendments and a total of 16 revisions were accepted. As it currently stands, these revisions have been added to the UCC and currently adopted 2009 I-Codes. They are currently Pennsylvania law through the UCC and are now enforceable. This webinar will discuss the revisions directly related to the IRC and IECC codes. We will review the current requirements, the history of the amendment and the new provision and in some cases, go into detail on how this could potentially effect current construction detailing and practices.
