The National Glass Association released a new online training course to complement its long-standing, in-demand manual, the Guide to the Glass & Glazing Requirements of the Model Building Codes. This training module is the latest addition to NGA’s industry-leading online glass and glazing training platform, MyGlassClass.com, which features more than 100 courses for industry professionals seeking foundational education and best practices of the trade.
About the course
The online course, which includes a PDF copy of the manual, is an introduction to the building code requirements relevant to glass and glazing. It explains the codes and standards organizations that influence how glass products are installed in a variety of locations, with specific focus on fire-rated, safety glazing and energy-efficiency requirements.
The new course is relevant to all segments of the supply chain, including in-office and field personnel. It teaches users how to navigate the model building codes, and addresses frequently asked questions for selecting proper glazing for the application.
All information is current to reflect the codes and standards in effect as of June 2021.
