Introduction
Based on the Florida Building Code, 9th Edition (2026), this course provides design teams with a working knowledge of the five walls of the FBC. Attendees will learn the differences between fire-resistance and fire-protection ratings, appropriate wall and opening protective applications, and relevant testing criteria. Participants will gain a clearer understanding of these systems and their application to current code requirements.
Description
The course will be presented with a combination of slides, verbal explanations, poignant case
study and laboratory illustrations, personal hands-on testimony - all through a unique style of
teaching built upon a familiar chain of reasoning. In other words, building code compliance
presented so that all can understand and apply.
Objective
• Develop an understanding and working knowledge of the five walls and their specific
purposes as defined in the FBC
• Know the difference between a fire-resistance rating and a fire protection rating
• Explore the test provisions for wide-span opening protectives
• Investigate the reasoning behind the opening protective requirements for all five walls
• Develop a solid familiarity with where to apply each of the five walls in project designs
