2015 ICC Codes R-Values and Best Practices

Both nationally, and particularly locally, building codes are in a state of flux. Here in Maryland we are currently transitioning to the model year 2015 ICC codes which have implications for all building trades and disciplines.

On Tuesday, November 10 please join BEC-Baltimore as we host Mark Graham of the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA) as he discusses the latest trends in building codes. With an emphasis on roofing issues, Mr. Graham will enlighten us on the following:

  • The 2015 International Building Code (IBC) and International Energy Conservation Code (IECC)
