2017 Marijuana and the Building Codes (Wed. 12 Jul, 2017 1:00 pm - 4:30 pm)
Synopsis: With passage of legalized marijuana in California, inquiries for new and modifications to existing structures for such facilities have already begun. This fast-paced seminar has been created to discuss facilities: use, egress, electrical concerns, hazards (MAQ’s), mechanical (exhaust and ventilation), occupancies, plumbing issues, sprinklers and waste disposal. Further discussion will address the potential impact of such legislation on the built environment, based on situations that have been encountered in other states that have previously passed similar legislation and what effects California’s law might have on local jurisdictions.
CEUs are available. This class is taught by an ICC Preferred Provider.
