I'm working my way through every section and subsection in Chapter 3 of the IRC in a 9-part series of 90-minute webinars. Each webinar is stand-alone, so you don't have to attend all 9 sessions. I presented the first three in April and the next three are now scheduled for May.

90 minutes: Fire and Water May 14th 9 - 10:30
The IRC provides a number of passive fire protection requirements in section 302, such as limiting space between structures through fire separation distance, and limiting the rapid spread of fire through fireblocking, draft stops and firestopping. Also provided in Section R313 is the requirement for active fire suppression though the use of automatic fire sprinkler systems.
90 minutes: Health and Human, May 21st, 9 - 10:30
Sections 303 and 306 provide the minimum requirements for the comfortable and sanitary environment within a home. Provisions related to illumination, heating, and sanitation are discussed in depth. Also necessary for a safe environment is appropriate accessibility for those with mobility challenges, and this is discussed as provided in section 320.
90 Minutes: Alarms and Nature, May 28th, 9 - 10:30
For the IRC to be useful across the US, chapter three provides a number of provisions that differentiate the various climatic and geographic conditions that buildings must endure. Force of Nature lays out all the variables of the environment that affect code provisions. Coupled with this are the two required alarms that protect us from poisons that can be present in any climate, smoke and carbon monoxide. Sections 314 and 315 provide the necessary details for the proper installation and thus successful use of these critical alarms.
