This course is designed as a 2 hour Florida Code Compliance course. It takes a deep dive into the specific IBC/IRC and Florida Building Code regarding proper design and application of Exterior Stucco. It first reviews and explains the ASTM C926 and C1063 standards that are the basis of the stucco and lath application standards in the code. It highlights the specific climatic concerns of the warm/humid Florida environment and teaches the proper design for building envelope water management using the ASTM E330 water resistance test listed in the building code. Then using a specific example city, the course reviews and explains the methodology of calculating and designing the assembly for the proper wind resistance necessary for the Florida hurricane prone climate using ASCE 07 and the ASTM E331 structural wind resistance test in the building code. Finally, the course lays out the proper fastening needs for the wind loads and the proper use of sealed face barrier systems to mitigate the water intrusion.
