Hello! This is episode 303, and in it, I’m talking with Jenna Cohen, director of Honeycomb Access and Design.

In this first part of my conversation with Jenna, you’ll learn more about the updates to the National Construction Code 2022 when it comes to accessible design and the Livable Housing Guidelines.

This episode is part of a special series on the National Construction Code, and NCC 2022.

If you’re curious about what the changes are in regards to accessible design and Livable Housing Guidelines, I discussed these in more detail in Episode 286 at the beginning of this series on the NCC2022.

In the conversations I’ve had with homeowners, I’ve heard frustration at these latest changes: that it feels like these are a bunch of requirements that aren’t relevant for them in their personal home. 

However, it’s worth understanding upfront that “Livable” and “Accessible” are not one and the same, and these latest updates are not for accessibility specifically. However, they will help your home be more functional for varying physical abilities over the long-term. 

Listen in, as Jenna will help you understand more about what to consider in your future home for compliance and longevity, and we discuss what to be aware of.
