Occupied Rooftops - The Sky's the Limit

Occupied rooftop space is a relatively low-cost, sustainable addition to a building, especially for adaptive re-use projects. The International Building Code’s (IBC) rooftop occupancy provisions guide building owners/operators and design architects on the use of rooftop space so that it can be safely enjoyed by the building's occupants.
In this webinar, WJE fire protection engineer Nicholas Ozog, structural engineer Tim Fitzgerald, and architect Jason Aspin discuss the major building code (IBC/IEBC) ramifications you must consider when adapting rooftop space for occupancy. The presentation addresses fire and life safety requirements, potential structural loading implications, and roofing and waterproofing considerations.
