ICC Code Exam Prep Webinar for Residential Building Inspector B1 Certification

[@WHY70122]

To all who are/will be taking the ICC exams. Don’t even waster your time to study these flash cards. You can’t just memorize this much. Learn how the IRC is structured. It goes from bottom to top of a building. Tab the book. On your exam, the index is your friend. Do practice problems as they will help you recognizing the key word to look up in the index. And most importantly, read the EXCEPTIONS as that’s where you will miss the correct answers.

[@internachi]

Glad you enjoyed watching the video.

[@inspiredvisionary]

True, a couple of these were on my test and they were the free bees you answer quick and use more times on the tougher questions

[@malikwright5856]

How you know I was tryna do dat?😂

[@nastydan12]

Appreciate the advice 👏🏼

[@roberthughes2687]

Speak for yourself, I can memorize it all

31.5" Clear hand rail to wall comes from 36" min. Width - 4.5" handrail projection, thus 31.5 (question at time of 52.13) code reference R311.7.1

[@internachi]

Nice.

[@aaronfurman8208]

Im adding this, because I often get asked what "glazing area" means and you mentioned it at 29:30 - GLAZING AREA. The interior surface area of all glazed fenestration (the arrangement of windows and doors on the elevations of a building), including the area of sash, curbing or other framing elements, that enclose conditioned space. Includes the area of glazed fenestration assemblies in walls bounding conditioned basements

[@internachi]

Great to hear, Aaron.

[@isaakchuk]

do you have a video for the rest of the flash cards? You are a really good instructor and I realized I memorized through the way you explain much better than other courses.

[@internachi]

We'll be making another video soon.

@@internachi when ?

[@AsHellBored]

the temp being measured at 3' from the floor is because when you sit down your heart is about 3' off the ground. there is probably some medical reason for that but i dont know why

[@internachi]

That's right.

[@kylemcweeny878]

Awesome! I got alot right and I didn't study just know from experience being in construction 🙃

[@internachi]

Great job!

[@sharonjones7881]

Does anyone know where I can get more free question online? I'm studying for 2012 IBC.

[@BlackopsSOG1]

as long as you know how to use the index you can find the answer to all of these questions from scratch except for a few i couldnt think of any keywords that wouldve lead me to where the correct answer is probably 1 out of 15 id say

[@internachi]

Yep. It's much easier to pass the ICC exam without having to look up every answer though. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@JohnJackson-e9z]

This is very useful, thank you.

[@internachi]

You're welcome. Thank you for watching.

[@mzbaddazz2410]

[@PimptatoPCs]

@@internachi I signed up for a guest account and plan to pay for membership soon. I couldn't find were the Ch 4 ICC webinar is posted for viewing on the InterNACHI website. Will it eventually be posted here on KZbin? Thank you.

[@PimptatoPCs]

@@internachi I now see that the webinar is scheduled for April 30th. Your comment is from 2 weeks ago so I thought the webinar had already happened. I'll go back to the website and sign up. Bummed that it's almost a month and a half away.

[@veryfriendlyok]

This is great, I’m preparing for this ICC B1 and Where is the video for the other half of the flash cards, ?

[@andrehodge5634]

What book you study for the ICC B1

[@internachi]

Great to hear.

[@capoconstruction1961]

Where are more flashcards ben?????

[@veryfriendlyok]

I passed, and I used the IRC 2018 book

[@AlejandroBravo-nd3kh]

Did it focus on a particular chapter(s) or was it all over the place? and did the flashcards help you for the exam or not really? @@veryfriendlyok

[@carlosjimenez630]

Thank you. Still helpful

[@internachi]

I appreciate it.

[@belljackson3000]

[@premlinux1730]

Ben, you mentioned that kitchen have to minimum size required by code but I saw in IRC book where stated 50 square feet is required so can you please give me better insight for this ??? Everything else is awesome I’m really learning from your video please keep up posting more Tia!

[@premlinux1730]

Typo error “kitchen have NO minimum”

[@internachi]

Thank you for watching. I'm not sure. I'll have to look into that.

[@internachi]

Whoops.

[@juanduran5526]

THANKS!

[@internachi]

You're welcome.

[@brianclark1970]

are these still good for today2023

[@internachi]

Nah. Check the latest versions of flash cards.

[@cliffordkidd2712]

does this comply with the 2021 test b-1 IRC?

[@internachi]

It's good prep material.

[@Jacob-jo9ds]

Will just studying the flash cards help me pass the b1 exam?

[@internachi]

B1 is challenging.

[@paulleonard7038]

39:00 that's a 'material defect' too, right?

[@internachi]

Right.

[@JM-sh4kc]

Thank you sir!

You're welcome.

So here is my frustration with ICC. The question about pathways for photovoltaic systems. You look up photovoltaic and it refers you to R907. You go to 907 and it refers you to NFPA 70. You look at NFPA70 and get no walkway info. The ICC info is listed under solar. In reading the question it is wildly misleading not using the word solar. This is a regular theme trying to learn the structure of the book. Often you are led to an area which does not yield good information. In this case how am I to know to go to Solar Energy system when the question uses the term Photovoltaic and it leads you nowhere. I spent no less than 15 min trying to find the info for min depth of footings. Your answer referenced 403.1.4.1 which did not give the information and 403.1.4.2 which does not exist. I did not think to go backwards to 403.1.4 at the end of your description card. When you have 90 seconds to answer a question this is a problem!

[@internachi]

Wow. Good question. Thanks for watching.

[@MarkEkberg-lr3yq]

@@internachi. That's it? Good question? How about a legitimate answer to my question.

[@internachi]

The legitimate answer to which question? And I think you missed the point. The point is that we were reading the ICC flashcards. If there are problems with the flashcards, the ICC has a contact page. I think they're pretty good.

I appreciate that! Thanks for watching. I teach free online classes for inspectors at www.nachi.org/webinars. Free, online, and open to everyone.

[@art_team13]

Most if cards are so stupid and does not make any sense. For example card with attic and habitable space are sooo confused. I got about 20% of questions from this flash cards the rest is useless. I'd say i waisted my time. BUILDING CODE ACADEMY is one of the best schools with free lessons

[@justintindel9271]

Man this was excellent. You know your an awesome communicator when you can make a knucklehead like me be engaged with building code for over an hour. Thanks Ben :)

[@internachi]

Glad I could help.
