As code compliance enhances builder profitability, energy conservation and consumer cost savings, RedVector expands its International Codes and Standards Training Series
RedVector, the leader in eLearning and workforce training solutions for the architecture, engineering, construction, industrial and facility management industries, has teamed up with the International Code Council (ICC), to expand upon its codes and standards training series.
Each day, building codes protect the public from structural, sanitary, and fire disasters while ensuring a minimum level of energy efficiency in buildings. Some requirements such as fire safety codes and structural and seismic standards affect the public in obvious ways. Others, such as lighting quality, acoustics and the air humans breathe also have major effects on our health and productivity, as we spend nearly 90 percent of our lives inside buildings, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
RedVector’s new codes training courses will inform professionals about the provisions of the 2015 International Building Code, the 2015 International Fire Code and the 2015 International Energy Conservation Code, which differ from 2012 codes.
The process of updating model codes every three years is optimal to ensure new technologies, materials and methods, as well as better approaches to health and safety, can be incorporated into the next generation of buildings with sufficient time for proof of performance.
“We’re proud to partner with the ICC to train professionals on the newest code provisions, which are designed to safeguard public health and safety in our communities, improve efficiencies, enhance builder profitability and reduce consumer costs,” said Bobby Person, RedVector Product Director.
