Change of Occupancy: Commercial to Residential
Sandra Hyde, PE, Managing Director, Product Development
International Code Council (ICC)
Wednesday, April 16 | 8:30 am – 4:00 pm
Holiday Inn Portland South – Wilsonville, OR
Class Description
This first half of this session covers requirements for tiny homes, their minimum requirements and where those requirements diverge from requirements for single family homes. Egress, emergency escape and rescue, stair sizing and minimum room and ceiling height are covered. Accessory dwelling unit requirements are briefly compared to tiny homes as well.
Thie second half of the course uses the 2021 IEBC Chapter 10, Change of Occupancy using the Work Area Method, to determine the minimum requirements for a change of occupancy from a commercial use to a residential use. The example building is a warehouse (S-2) that will be renovated to become apartments (R-2). Structural considerations including high seismicity are considered as well as egress and fire safety requirements. Accessibility needs with a change of occupancy are also identified.
Oregon-specific information will be incorporated into the presentation.
Class begins promptly at 8:30 am and ends by 4:00 pm and offers six hours of continuing education units/credit. A hot breakfast and lunch, all-day coffee and refreshments will be provided to registered attendees.
