This workshop is being sponsored by the Preservation Action Council of San Jose and is made possible through the generous support of the National Trust for Historic Preservation's Preservation Development Initiative funded by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation.

The California Historical Building Code (CHBC) is one of the most effective tools for preserving historic buildings in California. The intent of the California Historical Building Code is to protect California’s architectural heritage by offering an alternative code to address the unique construction problems inherent in historic environments. This workshop will feature the recent changes to the California Historical Building Code and other important provisions of the code, the differences between the CHBC and the California Building Code and how the alternatives allowed under the CHBC have been successfully applied. Case studies led by project architects will be used throughout the presentations. Participants will learn how to identify qualified historic buildings and their character-defining features, plus a process for applying alternative standards that preserve historic buildings while meeting life-safety mandates.
