Designing to Comply With Wind Resistance Provisions for
One and Two Family Dwellings
Continuing Education Credit:
Continuing Education credit may be available for those who qualify. Please call or email for details.
Course Overview:
Updated for compliance with the 2020 Florida Codes and methodologies, successful completion of this course allows Division I Contractors (General, Building and Residential) to certify plans for permitting. Contractors will gain an understanding of the newly revised wind speed maps and requirements for structural components and cladding as defined by the new 2014 Florida Building Code and the standard ICC 600 – Standard for Residential Construction in High-Wind Regions and other approved alternate methodologies included in the Code. This course will teach you to calculate wind load design pressures for residential structures, components and cladding when using alternate methodologies. Bring your calculator — reference materials will be available for class reference or you may purchase references from the bookstore.
CI® Certification:
In order to obtain the CI® Certification designation of CI®-RWT, candidates must successfully pass a proctored competency exam requiring a minimum score of 75%. The exam is given on Day 3 of the course, by the Association of Construction Industry Certified Professionals.
Upon completion of the CI® Certified FBC Residential Wind Design Technician course and successful completion of the CI® Certified FBC Residential Wind Design Technician End of Course Exam, candidates will receive membership into the Association of Construction Industry Certified Professionals.
RE-CERTIFICATION:
Current holders of the CI Certified Residential Windload Technician Certificates need to be RE-CERTIFIED by attending this 3-day course. We have reduced the tuition to $295 for you. IF YOU ARE AN ACTIVE BUILDING OFFICIAL WORKING WITHIN A FLORIDA MUNICIPALITY, you may attend this course for FREE – just call us to enroll. The Florida Code and reference standards with wind speed maps and the ICC 600 (replaces the SSTD 10-99). These changes directly affect the process for calculating wind load design pressures for residential structures, components and cladding when using alternate methodologies, so we are requiring certificate holders to update their wind load training.
