The exit discharge provisions will also be discussed. Specific topics include:• Exterior exit doors at the level of exit discharge• Interior exit stairways and ramps• Exit passageways• Horizontal exits• Exterior exit stairways and ramps• Exit dischargeLearning ObjectivesUpon completion, participants will be better able to:Determine those means of egress components that are defined as exits and part of the life safety requirements of a building’s layout.Identify where exit elements are required for life safety.Identify the specific exits established in the IBC for life safety.Understand the regulation of the exit discharge system for life safety.2021 IBC Accessible Means of EgressThis seminar explores the detailed provisions related to accessible means of egress systems as required by Section 1009. Defined as a continuous and unobstructed way of egress travel from any accessible point in a building or facility to a public way, one or more accessible means of egress must also comply with the applicable provisions of ICC A117.1. The relationship of Section 1009 to the requirements of the ADA Standard for Accessible Design is also addressed.• Accessible means of egress elements• Elevators• Areas of refuge• Horizontal exits• Two-way communications• Exterior areas for assisted rescue• Relationship with ADA StandardLearning ObjectivesUpon completion, participants will be better able to:Describe the relationship of accessible means of egress to general means of egress.Determine where accessible means of egress are required.Identify those elements considered as accessible means of egress.Identify special features of accessible means of egress components.Describe the relationship of IBC accessible means of egress provisions to requirements of the ADA Standards for Accessible Design._________________________________________________________________________________________LUNCH & LEARN PRESENTATION BY PROGRAM TITLE: Protecting the 1st Side of the BuildingDESCRIPTION: The course provides an in-depth look at below-slab moisture, soil gases, brownfields & contaminated sites, and subterranean termites and how to effectively mitigate these concerns with barrier solutions on various project sites and differing foundation designs. The program will examine building material failures, property loss, negative health effects, and the liability associated with the intrusion and infestation of these concerns, along with the environmental factors that are impacted by each of the issues compared to that of the sustainable solutions selected to mitigate them. Moreover, the program is designed to update attendees on the current codes, standards, and recommendations from ASTM, ACI, EPA, ICC and other organizations associated with each concern, as well as experts’ perspectives from each respective field.LEARNING OBJECTIVES:After attending the session:Participants will gain a better understanding of the different means and methods available for protection of vapor intrusion below the building, including, but not limited to, the differences between a chemical vapor barrier and a water vapor barrier.Participants will learn the science behind vapor migration below and through concrete slabs as well as into crawl spaces.Participants will gain a better understanding of subterranean termite migration and the differing means and methods available for control.Participants will learn what sustainable design, construction, and installation considerations can be employed via various, cost-effective physical barriers that ensure success.Earn 1 LU/HSW https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/1c86e0e0-7687-11f1-b452-0f2e0e513fce-rimg-w958-h740-dcc4c1bb-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/1ce66600-7687-11f1-b452-0f2e0e513fce-rimg-w1200-h600-dcbbbdc2-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/corpus-christi/aia-corpus-christi-2026-code-academy/100001991499094401 - **Event Categories**: workshops, nonprofit, health-wellness, science-fair - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 9 hours 10 minutes - Location: Rally Credit Union - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 160, max: 195, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Corpus Christi - **state**: TX - **country**: United States - **location**: Rally Credit Union - **lat**: 27.6722087 - **long**: -97.35410340000001 - **full address**: Rally Credit Union, 2806 Rodd Field Road (middle 4 story building, corner of Rodd Field Rd and Saratoga), Corpus Christi, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: AIA CORPUS CHRISTI 2026 CODE ACADEMY - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/6a781662693c8cae5b601efcf3fc0705528934b51a9b94b0d94356316d843bcf-rimg-w1200-h600-dce9edef-gmir.jpg?v=1781075820 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is AIA CORPUS CHRISTI 2026 CODE ACADEMY being held? - **A:** AIA CORPUS CHRISTI 2026 CODE ACADEMY takes place on Fri, 31 Jul, 2026 at 08:20 am to Fri, 31 Jul, 2026 at 05:30 pm at Rally Credit Union, 2806 Rodd Field Road (middle 4 story building, corner of Rodd Field Rd and Saratoga), Corpus Christi, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing AIA CORPUS CHRISTI 2026 CODE ACADEMY? - **A:** AIA CORPUS CHRISTI 2026 CODE ACADEMY is organized by AIA Corpus Christi. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
