2008 Calif. Building Code Update
San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf

Roofing, Waterproofing and the Building Envelope

SPEAKERS:
Waterproofing Code Update: Chris Nelson of DNG Group.
Roofing Code Update: John D. Shepherd, RRC, of Shepherd Consulting Services
Building Envelope Code Update: Don DeGroot, IBA Consultants West, LLC
The new California building code, which became effective statewide on January 1, 2008, is based on the 2006 International Building Code and not the 1997 Uniform Building Code that we have all become accustomed to using for the last 10 years.

The new IBC and CBC have many specific changes that effect roofing, waterproofing and building envelope professionals. Most significantly, the old Codes generally required that the construction (builder) prevent water intrusion to the interior. The new Codes have been changed to make them more stringent and specific. Language has been added in the Codes that requires both "design and construction" to meet the intent of the codes, not just construction. As a result, the new codes shift more liability on the design professional, requiring them to properly design the building envelope systems. In regards to water intrusion and water damage, new codes include vapor barriers and vapor migration within an assembly. This seminar will include a side-by-side comparison between the old code and new code as related to roofing, waterproofing, exterior walls and building envelope systems.
Liberty Lewis, PE, is a Project Manager with PIE and will be presenting Ventilation of Low Slope Roof Assemblies.

Steven Mack, PE, is a Project Manager with PIE and will be presenting on Adhered Stone Veneer.
