The biggest change from FBC 6 th Edition to FBC 7 th Edition is the new ASCE 7-16 reference standard. Metal plate connected wood trusses will need to be run under the newly referenced ASCE 7-16. The only reference standard with revisions in this cycle is ASCE. The current Florida Building Code is the 6 th Edition (2017) and the reference standards for the wood truss industry is NDS 2015, ANSI/TPI 1-2014, BCSI, and ASCE 7-10. These standards get updated every three to four years for a variety of reasons, and building codes that reference these standards will also be updated every three to four years for a variety of reasons as well.
