BC's 2024 residential code changes touch some of the most consequential systems in a home — seismic bracing, radon mitigation, and overheating protection — and missing one can mean a failed inspection or a costly redesign. This course prepares you to identify which of your projects are affected by these changes and to recognize when a design professional needs to be brought in, so you can plan compliant builds from day one.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- Identify the major 2024 residential code changes covered in this course.
- Differentiate the three bracing compliance paths used under the revised requirements.
- Describe the province-wide radon rough-in requirement at a practical level.
- Explain the practical intent of the overheating protection requirement.
- Apply a practical review process to identify which code changes affect a project.
