Florida Licensure Education Track 1 – A Renewed Focus on Resiliency and Disaster Preparedness Using Wood Frame Construction

Today’s building codes and standards address many of society’s top concerns regarding the built environment—from public health and safety to the environmental impacts of construction materials. As natural disasters become more frequent, severe and costly, the need for more resilient buildings is paramount. This course explores the essential role of resilient construction methods in today’s built environment and explains the various APA resources that can support resilient design. Learn how to meet and exceed code requirements using engineered wood products (EWPs) to build strong, sustainable and energy-efficient structures. This session will cover key programs and standards that quantify resiliency, provide detailed construction drawings, and discuss installation best practices and which to avoid. Participants will also learn how to showcase the value of EWPs to their clients. Ideal for designers, engineers, builders and other industry professionals, this webinar will empower you to enhance building performance and occupant safety while promoting environmental stewardship.
