Topic: CODE is in the Air
Indoor air quality, ventilation, and pressure dynamics dictate building performance, occupant health, and life safety. This week’s CODE Brew
explores how the International Codes (IBC, IMC, IECC) regulate air movement, exhaust, pressurization, and filtration.
From smoke control and indoor air quality (IAQ) to airtight building envelopes vs. outdoor air requirements, this session dives into the friction points design professionals face when balancing
code compliance, energy efficiency, and occupant wellness.
Participants will consider various parts of the CODE that can become conflicted like energy efficiency and occupant wellness. Participants
will discuss the benefits of both natural air systems versus mechanical systems.
Join us October 23rd at noon, and let's discuss.
