This course addresses the critical concepts of the 2021 International Building Code® (IBC®) regarding Chapter 7, Fire and Smoke Protection Features. These concepts provide a basis for the analysis and identification of which components require fire-resistance ratings; where the fire-resistance-rated construction is required in building construction; where smoke-resistant construction is mandated; and the use of fire door assemblies, fire window assemblies, penetration firestop systems, fire dampers and smoke dampers. The participant will be able to apply the provisions of Chapter 7 of the 2021 IBC to the materials and assemblies used for structural fire resistance, as well as the fire-resistance-rated and smoke-resistant construction separation of adjacent spaces.
