Reversible Structural GPS Sheathing and Prescriptive Wal Bracing & 2021 IRC
2-1 Webinar offering:
Presents the Advantages of Reversible Graphite Structural Insulated Board (SIB) and Prescriptive Wall Bracing & 2021 IRC
Course 1 will allow you to examine the unique advantages of reversible structural graphite polystyrene sheathing as a high-performance building systems for new and existing building to Provide exterior, continuous insulation, Manage moisture,, Increase durability and environmental performance, and Increase project efficiencies and costs.
Course 2:
Wall-bracing provisions of the 2021 International Residential Code (IRC) remain daunting to understand and efficiently apply.
What You Will Learn: A step-by-step process for applying these provisions, including alternative methods. Jay will also share resources for checking compliance and optimizing design.
