Top CE Course of 2015: ADA Tolerances and Acceptable Measurements
Published: January 06, 2016 at 9:01AM
Learn how to analyze and apply ADA and other accessibility tolerance language where it is different from building code tolerance language.
Description
This course will cover the specific wording of ADA Standards Section 104.1.1 on tolerances and similar language in selected other accessibility standards and explain how they should be interpreted. It will cover what types of conditions are subject to the tolerances language and which ones are not. The panelists will discuss how they measure field conditions affecting accessibility and ADA compliance, how those measurements are critical in understanding and applying the tolerances language, and what types of field conditions affect the determination of whether a measurement is within the tolerances. This session provides architects with peer feedback on a critical but highly esoteric topic.
