A few weeks ago, the Colorado Chapter of the International Code Council held their 37th Annual Educational Institute – back in-person again! LGA Studios sent most of our team members up to Loveland, CO to attend courses for continuing education in matters related to code. We take these classes in order to keep ourselves sharp and up-to-date on current Colorado building codes. These conferences also provide an opportunity to learn new technologies and become better, more well-rounded designers.
The Educational Institute was held from March 7th - 11th at the beautiful Embassy Suites Hotel Conference Center. Classes included updated topics in:
Building Thermal Envelopes
Construction Defects, Failures, Repairs, and Materials
Lateral Loads and Expansive Soil Design and Construction
Building Science Fundamentals
IECC Residential Provisions
Residential Energy Code Plan Review
Each team member took a different eight-hour class, and we are now sharing the information within the office. It was an excellent event, and we always look forward to expanding our knowledge of the varied and ever-changing challenges and opportunities in our field!
