4 Course Descrip/on This session will focus on the Check Height and Area software that reviews and analyzes building height and area compliance with the 2013 California Building Code (CBC), including the July 2015 supplement, for buildings up to six stories, with up to four occupancy groups at each level. This user-friendly application is created for design professionals and building officials to ease building code analysis. Step-by-step instructions will be provided and common issues related to height and area limitations will be illustrated with examples of actual mixed occupancy group, multi-story buildings.

5 Learning Objec/ves Explore how to save time by using software to calculate grade plane for a variety of topography situations. Discuss how to optimize building height and area values for all occupancy groups and types of construction using software as an aid. Evaluate methods of calculating frontage increases to aid in building design and plan review. Review calculation procedures for allowable height, area, and number of stories for a mid-rise structure
