This workshop will feature recent changes to the California Historical Building Code and how alternatives allowed under the CHBC have been successfully applied. Participants will learn how to identify historic buildings that qualify under the CHBC, plus a process for applying alternative standards that preserve historic buildings while meeting life safety, access, & structural mandates of the code.
You Will Learn:
