DRAFT MINUTES BUILDING BOARD OF APPEALS MEETING January 19, 2022 Call to Order and Roll Call The meeting was called to order at 7:02 p.m. by Building Board of Appeals (BBA) Chairperson Thomas Bredfeldt. Roll was called. Present: Chairperson Tom Bredfeldt, BBA Members Brian Beck, Christopher Clark, Robert Stahr and Barrington Pope. Absent: BBA Members Matthew Rooney and Thomas Tuscher. Public Comment Non-Agenda Items There was no public comment pertaining to non-agenda items. Approval of Minutes Following a motion by BBA Member Beck, seconded by Member Clark, draft minutes of the December 15, 2021 meeting were approved as submitted, by voice vote, with Robert Stahr abstaining because he did not attend the December 15th meeting. Old Business Village Building and Zoning Official Steve Witt said that, due to Staffing issues, he had no update on the Community Listening Session, but intends to have comments gathered to share at the next BBA meeting. New Business Mr. Witt provided the following resubmittal of proposed changes to the International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC) that were brought to the Board at the December 15th meeting: • Regarding whether an “administrative warrant” or “search warrant” should be sought in seeking to enter a building to verify conditions, the Village Attorney Greg Matthews didn’t believe an administrative judge could issue a warrant that would allow entry to a structure, hence “search warrant” is the term needed. • Regarding language referencing landscaping/fences blocking views from/to driveways, the recommendation is to remove the provision from the IPMC, as the concern is better addressed by the Zoning Code. • Regarding the section on pool and spa enclosures, it is recommended that language about barrier requirements be adopted from the International Swimming Pool and Spa Code book into the International Residential Code and the International Building Code (in lieu of adopting the entire Pool and Spa book). • Regarding the requirements for rubbish and garbage control on properties, Mr. Witt said he didn’t believe it appropriate for address by the Property Maintenance Code, so the IPMC section should stand as it is shown in the proposed amendments, and wider considerations will be part of the Municipal Code review. • Provisions governing fire alarm and detection systems are recommended to be removed from the IPMC, with requirements addressing these systems (in the C5 District and perhaps others) to be amended into the Fire Code at a later meeting. 1 • It has been determined that requiring annexed buildings to go through the process of upgrading or installing fire alarm systems and fire suppression systems where none exist may be an impediment for people wanting to annex into the Village, so it is recommended that requirement be dropped at this time. • Fire alarm and detection systems relying on a subscription service will not be allowed; this applies strictly to the local alarm, not the building itself. Official Witt stated that all of the other amendments are in the same order as submitted before (for review at the December 15th meeting). Mr. Stahr wondered about the distinction between enforcement of the main building of a multi-family complex and individual units (specifically with regard to overcrowding) within, and the Village’s mode of enforcing the Maintenance Code. Mr. Witt explained that the Village conducts annual inspections of multi-family residential buildings, looking at the premises, the exterior, all common areas, and all fire safety aspects. Individual dwelling units aren’t inspected, he said, unless a complaint/query is received. Mr. Stahr supposed smoke detectors in individual residential units can’t be inspected, to which Mr. Witt replied that this is “generally true” (an exception being entry gained if an incident occurs). He explained that Code compliance is examined during renovations, but that there’s no ongoing maintenance review. Noting language in the IPMC that indicates the most restrictive provision of either that Code or the Life Safety Code shall apply, Chairman Bredfeldt asked for confirmation that the Village was no longer going to use the latter. Mr. Witt replied that this is correct and said the language referenced will be struck. The Chairman presumed that guidance on fence height around swimming pools is covered in the new Building Code for barriers around such. Mr. Witt responded that this is correct. Mr. Bredfeldt asked if a reference to that Code could be inserted. Mr. Witt said that direction to applicable codes are included, though are referenced generically. Life Safety Code The 2009 version of the Life Safety Code is currently in effect in the Village, said Mr. Witt, who explained that at the time adoption the stance of the Fire Marshall’s Office was that there was no code as strict, but a provision allowed municipalities to adopt one equal in life safety to NFPA 101, though the OSFM stressed that the International Fire Code was not such a code. He went on to reference a December letter from the Fire Marshall’s Office saying that home-rule communities can opt for fire prevention standards of their own choosing; in Glen Ellyn’s case, said Mr. Witt, it’s the 2018 International Fire Code – or to follow a 2015 version of a OSFM life safety code. He indicated that the Village doesn’t follow the latter, as the Life Safety Code governs State-owned buildings and State-licensed facilities. Public schools, he said, are reviewed by the Village under local codes, so it has a limited number of buildings the Life Safety Code affects (though the Village still inspects them). He concluded by saying that in the interest of avoiding a conflict between the two Codes, Staff recommends adopting the 2018 International Fire Code, and deleting the Life Safety Code from the codes adopted by the Village. Mr. Witt cautioned that adopting Codes in a piecemeal fashion carries a risk associated with adopting changes before examining all books; hence, he prefers to look at everything as a group. He outlined a timeline for review, saying June 1st would be a “nice date” for making code adoptions effective. Mr. Witt noted that the 2009 Life Safety Code is still in effect (though, aside from use in developing requirements for multi-family sprinklers, it hasn’t been used in enforcement activity in the Village in the six years he’s been there). 2 Chairman Bredfeldt asked if the Building Board of Appeals would have an opportunity to look at the 2018 International Fire Code; Mr. Witt affirmed it would. Board Member Pope asked if there are any hotel/institutional projects under development in the Village. Mr. Witt replied that currently there is not. Mr. Pope asked whether the NFPA is pretty specific about institutional occupancies – particularly assisted-living – with regard to fire separations. Mr. Witt replied that pieces of the Life Safety Code could be repeated in the Fire Code, and is making a note to look at this, but said he wants to avoid adopting Code aspects that will not be used on a regular basis. He said the Apex and Goldfish pool installations are regulated by the Health Department. International Mechanical Code & International Fuel Gas Code Mr. Witt explained that amendments proposed for the International Mechanical Code (IMC) and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) are by and large administrative (e.g., cleaning up formatting errors), and other than these that Staff has no recommended amendments. He related there are a couple material changes from the 2009 version of the IMC to the 2018 version: one for increasing ventilation in beauty/nail salons, the other concerning exhaust protocols in enclosed parking garages. Other than these, he said, changes are not substantial, and Staff recommends adopting new provisions in the fashion in which they are written. He added the IMC had an update concerning commercial kitchen hood standards. Member Stahr asked whether an IMC reference to building materials governs existing projects. Official Witt responded by summing up the Village’s history of enforcement on existing buildings as, “If you’re not touching it, you leave it.” Hence, he continued, upgrades are only required upon changing a building, though said that Staff could insert language to better explain this. Chairman Bredfeldt asked whether, if the Village adopts the Mechanical Code, UL 2043 would be included in it. Mr. Witt replied that it is part of the adoption, saying the question at hand is whether it would be enforced retroactively. He added that if the Board wants to go that direction (retroactive application to existing buildings), he will entertain it, otherwise, enforcement will be handled as is currently. In response to Chairman Bredfeldt asking for clarification in IFGC language concerning taking return air from a garage, Mr. Witt explained that while a chart referenced illustrates a progression in versions (from 2012), the 2018 Code prohibits outdoor return air from outdoor heating/cooling systems to be taken from seven locations. Though it doesn’t specifically mention garages, Mr. Witt elaborated, language listing conditions prohibiting return air indicates to him that it isn’t to be taken from within a garage. As the disposition of pest control language specific to bedbugs was not included on the evening’s agenda, he said the topic will be on the next meeting agenda. A motion by BBA Member Clark, seconded by Member Stahr, to delete the NFPA 101 Life Safety Code (v. 2009 ) from the Village Code carried unanimously by roll call vote. A motion made by Member Clark, seconded by Member Pope, to adopt as may be amended the 2018 versions of the International Mechanical Code and International Fuel Gas Code passed unanimously by roll call vote. Trustee’s Report Trustee Kalinich reported that the Village Board has endorsed re-establishing the Architectural Review Commission (ARC), to provide input into proposed projects coming before the Plan Commission. Properties considered will be commercial and multi-family homes, and anything in the Historic District, with the exception of residential (which is under exploration), she explained. The ARC, she continued, shall be comprised of three architects, a landscape architect, and one member of each of the Plan Commission, the Historic Commission and the Environmental Commission. The re-established ARC is expected to get rolling in a few months, she said, relating that the body is to initially meet monthly. 3 Chairman’s Report Chairman Bredfeldt expressed appreciation for having received the meeting packet the week before this evening’s meeting. Staff Report Mr. Witt said that he had nothing additional, other than confirming that consideration of the Property Maintenance Code would be on the Feb. 16th meeting agenda. Audience member Ray Whalen, 177 Sunset Ave. Glen Ellyn, asked how proposed Code language concerning outdoor storage would affect building materials, contending that building materials don’t always all fit in a rear yard. Mr. Witt said the provision really hasn’t changed from what is already in effect (and which precludes front and side-yard storage), but said he is open to hearing concerns, and offered to look at the provision and see if there might be a solution for typical construction projects, recognizing distinctions between short- and long-term durations. Mr. Stahr asked about opaque fabric used at jobsites. Mr. Witt deems this type of a barrier a way to control dust/debris and restrict driversby from gaping at commercial sites, and sees it as a way to constrain curious children. Mr. Stahr asked if construction equipment includes workmen’s personal vehicles. Mr. Witt replied, “No,” saying it refers to bobcats, h-Hi-lifts, wheelbarrows, as examples. Adjournment Chairperson Bredfeldt adjourned the meeting at 8:18 p.m., following a voice vote on a motion that was made by Member Clark and seconded by Member Beck. Respectfully submitted, Barbara Dutton-Thomas Recording Secretary 4

X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Meeting 3\Building Codes Upgrade Staff Report - Meeting 3 - 01-19-22.docx Page 2 of 14 Page 11 of 59 Scope of Codes: International Property Maintenance Code, 2018 Note: The following information related to the International Property Maintenance Code is repeated from the packet that was distributed for the December 15, 2021 meeting. This information was gleaned from the IMC but is not necessarily repeated here verbatim. The International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC) is a model code that regulates the minimum maintenance requirements for existing buildings. It establishes the minimum maintenance standards for basic equipment, light, ventilation, heating, sanitation and fire safety for all existing residential and nonresidential structures and all existing premises. Responsibility is fixed among owners, operators, and occupants for code compliance. The IPMC provides for the regulation and safe use of existing structures in the interest of the social and economic welfare of the community. The following is a chapter-by-chapter synopsis of the scope and intent of the provisions of the International Property Maintenance Code as repeated, though not verbatim, from the preface of the 2018 IPMC. Chapter 1 Scope and Administration. This chapter contains provisions for the application, enforcement and administration of subsequent requirements of the code. In addition to establishing the scope of the code, Chapter 1 identifies which buildings and structures come under its purview. Chapter 1 is largely concerned with maintaining “due process of law” in enforcing the property maintenance criteria contained in the body of the code. Chapter 2 Definitions. All terms that are defined in the code are listed alphabetically in Chapter 2. While a defined term may be used in one chapter or another, the meaning provided in Chapter 2 is applicable throughout the code. Chapter 3 General Requirements. Chapter 3, “General Requirements,” is broad in scope. It includes a variety of requirements for the exterior property areas as well as the interior and exterior elements of the structure. This chapter provides requirements that are intended to maintain a minimum level of safety and sanitation for both the general public and the occupants of a structure, and to maintain a building’s structural and weather-resistance performance. Chapter 3 provides specific criteria for regulating the installation and maintenance of specific building components; maintenance requirements for vacant structures and land; requirements regulating the safety, sanitation and appearance of the interior and exterior of structures and all exterior property areas; accessory structures; vehicle storage regulations and establishes who is responsible for complying with the chapter’s provisions. This chapter also contains the requirements for swimming pools, spas and hot tubs and the requirements for protective barriers and gates in these barriers. Chapter 3 establishes the responsible parties for exterminating insects and rodents and maintaining sanitary conditions in all types of occupancies. X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Meeting 3\Building Codes Upgrade Staff Report - Meeting 3 - 01-19-22.docx Page 3 of 14 Page 12 of 59 Chapter 4 Light, Ventilation and Occupancy Limitations. The purposes of Chapter 4 are to establish the minimum environment for occupiable and habitable buildings, by establishing the minimum criteria for light and ventilation and identifying occupancy limitations including minimum room width and area, minimum ceiling height and restrictions to prevent overcrowding. This chapter also provides for alternative arrangements of windows and other devices to comply with the requirements for light and ventilation and prohibits certain room arrangements and occupancy uses. Witt commentary: The addition of occupancy limitation requirements for dwelling units to the 2018 edition of the code is perhaps the most significant change from previous editions. Many municipalities have previously struggled with the concern of overcrowding unless they wrote their own code to regulate the number of persons allowed to occupy dwelling units. The occupancy limitation provisions will provide a uniform approach to addressing occupancy loads across communities that have adopted the IPMC. Chapter 5 Plumbing Facilities and Fixture Requirements. Chapter 5 establishes the minimum criteria for the installation, maintenance and location of plumbing systems and facilities, including the water supply system, water heating appliances, sewage disposal system and related plumbing fixtures. Sanitary and clean conditions in occupied buildings are dependent upon certain basic plumbing principles, including providing potable water to a building, providing the basic fixtures to effectively utilize that water, and properly removing waste from the building. Chapter 5 establishes the minimum criteria to verify that these principles are maintained throughout the life of a building. Chapter 6 Mechanical and Electrical Requirements. Chapter 6 establishes minimum criteria for the installation and maintenance of the following: heating and air-conditioning equipment, appliances and their supporting systems; water heating equipment, appliances and systems; cooking equipment and appliances; ventilation and exhaust equipment; gas and liquid fuel distribution piping and components; fireplaces and solid fuel-burning appliances; chimneys and vents; electrical services; lighting fixtures; electrical receptacle outlets; electrical distribution system equipment, devices and wiring; and elevators, escalators and dumbwaiters. Chapter 7 Fire Safety Requirements. The purpose of Chapter 7 is to address those fire hazards that arise as the result of a building’s occupancy. It also provides minimum requirements for fire safety issues that are most likely to arise in older buildings. This chapter contains requirements for means of egress in existing buildings, including path of travel, required egress width, means of egress doors and emergency escape openings. Chapter 7 establishes the minimum requirements for fire safety facilities and fire protection systems, as these are essential fire safety systems. Chapter 8 Referenced Standards. The code contains numerous references to standards that are used to regulate materials and methods of construction. Chapter 8 contains a comprehensive list of all standards that are referenced in the code. The standards are part of the code to the extent of the reference to the standard. Compliance with the referenced standard is necessary for compliance with this code. X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Meeting 3\Building Codes Upgrade Staff Report - Meeting 3 - 01-19-22.docx Page 4 of 14 Page 13 of 59 NFPA 101, Life Safety Code, 2015 The purpose of the NFPA 101, Life Safety Code, (LSC) is to provide minimum requirements, with due regard to function, for the design, operation and maintenance of building and structures for safety to life from fire. The LSC was previously adopted by the Village since that code was adopted by the Office of the Illinois State Fire Marshal (OSFM) pursuant to 425 ILCS 25/9 which required the State Fire Marshal to adopt and promulgate rules to protect the public from fire hazards. The 2009 edition of the LSC was adopted by the Village after the OSFM adopted it as the State Fire Code. In previous years, although the OSFM indicated that a municipality must adopt a Fire Code that was equivalent to the LSC, the OSFM never recognized the International Fire Code as being equivalent to the LSC in terms of providing protection against fire hazards. Therefore, when the State adopted the 2009 LSC, the Village followed suit. On December 21, 2021, Matt Perez, State Fire Marshal, issued a letter to all Local Municipal and Governmental Authorities in which he indicated that, “For home rule municipalities, the municipality can opt either to adopt fire prevention and life safety standards of its own choosing or to follow the OSFM-adopted NFPA 101, Life Safety Code (2015 Edition). Notwithstanding the above, the OSFM-adopted life safety code still applies to state buildings, state-licensed facilities, and other occupancies under the purview of OSFM that are located in home rule municipalities.” As indicated in the attached correspondence from the State Fire Marshal (Attachment LSC-4), while the OSFM is required by law to inspect all state public buildings, public schools, and occupancies licensed by the state, its jurisdiction to inspect private and commercial occupancies is concurrent with the local fire company. Regarding occupancies under the purview of the OSFM, we note, • There are no state public buildings located within the Village of Glen Ellyn. • There are few state-licensed facilities located within the Village of Glen Ellyn, including, o The Illinois Department of Children and Family Services, general offices o Arden Courts of Glen Ellyn, Skilled Nursing Facility o Brookdale, Assisted Living Facility o Maple Glen, Assisted Living Facility o Atria Park of Glen Ellyn, Assisted Living Facility o Chart Senior Living of Glen Ellyn, Assisted Living Facility The Village enforces the locally adopted building and fire codes, whereas the OSFM enforces the LSC. • Day care facilities are inspected by both the Village and the OSFM. The Village enforces the locally adopted building and fire codes, whereas the OSFM enforces the LSC. • Public elementary and secondary schools are inspected by the Office of the State Fire Marshal; however, the OSFM cannot enforce the OSFM-adopted NFPA 101, Life Safety Code on the X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Meeting 3\Building Codes Upgrade Staff Report - Meeting 3 - 01-19-22.docx Page 5 of 14 Page 14 of 59 schools. The Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) maintains jurisdiction within these school buildings. The ISBE has adopted specific fire safety rules and regulations applicable to public schools, which include Title 23, Part 175 or Part 185, of the Illinois Administrative Code, some version of the old BOCA Code, or some version of the International Building Code (IBC) or the International Fire Code (IFC). The Village inspects these buildings with respect to these codes. • Private schools located in a home rule municipality, such as the Village of Glen Ellyn, are governed by the locally adopted building and fire codes. Many sections of the LSC have requirements that differ from the Village’s Fire Code, particularly as related to existing buildings. Some requirements are more, and some are less strict. Adoption of the LSC by the Village will only lead to conflict when trying to determine which code to follow in a given circumstance. Therefore, adoption of the LSC is not recommended. X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Meeting 3\Building Codes Upgrade Staff Report - Meeting 3 - 01-19-22.docx Page 6 of 14 Page 15 of 59 International Mechanical Code, 2018 Note: This information below, related to the International Mechanical Code, was gleaned from the code but is not necessarily repeated here verbatim. The International Mechanical Code (IMC) is a model code that regulates the design and installation of mechanical systems, appliances, appliance venting, duct and ventilation systems, combustion air provisions, hydronic systems, and solar systems. The purpose of the code is to establish the minimum acceptable level of safety and to protect life and property from the potential dangers associated with the installation and operation of mechanical systems. The code also protects the personnel that install, maintain, service and replace the systems and appliances addressed by this code. The IMC is primarily a prescriptive code with some performance text. The code relies heavily on product specifications and listings to provide much of the appliance and equipment installation requirements. The general Section 105.2 and the exception to Section 403.2 allow designs and installations to be performed by approved engineering methods as alternatives to the prescriptive methods in the code. The following is a chapter-by-chapter synopsis of the scope and intent of the provisions of the International Mechanical Code as repeated, though not verbatim, from the preface of the 2018 IMC. Chapter 1 Scope and Administration. Chapter 1 establishes the limits of applicability of the code and describes how the code is to be applied and enforced. A mechanical code, like any other code is intended to be adopted as a legally enforceable document and it cannot be effective without adequate provisions for its administration and enforcement. The provisions of Chapter 1 establish the authority and duties of the code official appointed by the jurisdiction having authority and establish the rights and privileges of the design professional, contractor, and property owner. Chapter 2 Definitions. Chapter 2 is the repository of the definitions of terms used in the body of the code. Codes are technical documents, and every word and term can impact the meaning of the code text and the intended results. The code often uses terms that have a unique meaning in the code and the code meaning can differ substantially from the ordinarily understood meaning of the term as used outside of the code. The terms defined in Chapter 2 are deemed to be of prime importance in establishing the meaning and intent of the code text that uses the terms. The user of the code should be familiar with and consult this chapter because the definitions are essential to the correct interpretation of the code and because the user may not be aware that a term is defined. Chapter 3 General Regulations. Chapter 3 contains broadly applicable requirements related to appliance location and installation, appliance and systems access, protection of structural elements, condensate disposal and clearances to combustibles, among others. X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Meeting 3\Building Codes Upgrade Staff Report - Meeting 3 - 01-19-22.docx Page 7 of 14 Page 16 of 59 Chapter 4 Ventilation. Chapter 4 includes means for protecting building occupant health by controlling the quality of indoor air and protecting property from the effects of inadequate ventilation. In some cases, ventilation is required to prevent or reduce a health hazard by removing contaminants at their source. Ventilation is both necessary and desirable for the control of air contaminants, moisture and temperature. Habitable and occupiable spaces are ventilated to promote a healthy and comfortable environment for the occupants. Uninhabited and unoccupied spaces are ventilated to protect the building structure from the harmful effects of excessive humidity and heat. Ventilation of specific occupancies is necessary to minimize the potential for toxic or otherwise harmful substances to reach dangerously high concentrations in air. Chapter 5 Exhaust Systems. Chapter 5 provides guidelines for reasonable protection of life, property and health from the hazards associated with exhaust systems, air contaminants and smoke development in the event of a fire. In most cases, these hazards involve materials and gases that are flammable, explosive, toxic or otherwise hazardous. Where contaminants are known to be present in quantities that are irritating or harmful to the occupants’ health or are hazardous in a fire, both naturally and mechanically ventilated spaces must be equipped with mechanical exhaust systems capable of collecting and removing the contaminants. This chapter contains requirements for the installation of exhaust systems, with an emphasis on the structural integrity of the systems and equipment involved and the overall impact of the systems on the fire safety performance of the building. It includes requirements for the exhaust of commercial kitchen grease- and smoke-laden air, hazardous fumes and toxic gases, clothes dryer moisture and heat and dust, stock and refuse materials. Chapter 6 Duct Systems. Chapter 6 of the code regulates the materials and methods used for constructing and installing ducts, plenums, system controls, exhaust systems, fire protection systems and related components that affect the overall performance of a building’s air distribution system and the reasonable protection of life and property from the hazards associated with air-moving equipment and systems. This chapter contains requirements for the installation of supply, return and exhaust air systems. Specific exhaust systems are also addressed in Chapter 5. Information on the design of duct systems is limited to that in Section 603.2. The code is very much concerned with the structural integrity of the systems and the overall impact of the systems on the fire safety and life safety performance of the building. Design considerations such as duct sizing, maximum efficiency, cost effectiveness, occupant comfort and convenience are the responsibility of the design professional. The provisions for the protection of duct penetrations of wall, floor, ceiling, and roof assemblies are extracted from the International Building Code. Chapter 7 Combustion Air. Complete combustion of solid and liquid fuel is essential for the proper operation of appliances, for control of harmful emissions and for achieving maximum fuel efficiency. The specific combustion air requirements provided in previous editions of the code have been X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Meeting 3\Building Codes Upgrade Staff Report - Meeting 3 - 01-19-22.docx Page 8 of 14 Page 17 of 59 deleted in favor of a single section that directs the user to NFPA 31 for oil-fired appliance combustion air requirements and the manufacturer’s installation instructions for solid-fuel burning appliances. For gas-fired appliances, the provisions of the International Fuel Gas Code are applicable. Chapter 8 Chimneys and Vents. Chapter 8 is intended to regulate the design, construction, installation, maintenance, repair and approval of chimneys, vents, and their connections to solid and liquid fuel-burning appliances. The requirements of this chapter are intended to achieve the complete removal of the products of combustion from fuel-burning appliances and equipment. This chapter includes regulations for the proper selection, design, construction, and installation of a chimney or vent, along with appropriate measures to minimize the related potential fire hazards. A chimney or vent must be designed for the type of appliance or equipment it serves. Chimneys and vents are designed for specific applications depending on the flue gas temperatures and the type of fuel being burned in the appliance. Chimneys and vents for gas-fired appliances are covered in the International Fuel Gas Code. Chapter 9 Specific Appliances, Fireplaces and Solid Fuel-burning Equipment. Chapter 9 sets minimum construction and performance criteria for fireplaces, appliances, and equipment and provides for the safe installation of these items. It reflects the code’s intent to specifically address all the types of appliances that the code intends to regulate. Other regulations affecting the installation of solid fuel-burning fireplaces, appliances and accessory appliances are found in Chapters 3, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14. Chapter 10 Boilers, Water Heaters and Pressure Vessels. Chapter 10 presents regulations for the proper installation of boilers, water heaters and pressure vessels to protect life and property from the hazards associated with those appliances and vessels. It applies to all types of boilers and pressure vessels, regardless of size, heat input, operating pressure, or operating temperature. Because pressure vessels are closed containers designed to contain liquids, gases, or both under pressure, they must be designed and installed to prevent structural failures that can result in extremely hazardous situations. Certain safety features are therefore provided in Chapter 10 to reduce the potential for explosion hazards. Chapter 11 Refrigeration. Chapter 11 contains regulations pertaining to the life safety of building occupants. These regulations establish minimum requirements to achieve the proper design, construction, installation, and operation of refrigeration systems. Refrigeration systems are a combination of interconnected components and piping assembled to form a closed circuit in which a refrigerant is circulated. The system’s function is to extract heat from a location or medium, and to reject that heat to a different location or medium. This chapter establishes reasonable safeguards for the occupants by defining and mandating practices that are consistent with the practices and experience of the industry. Chapter 12 Hydronic Piping. Hydronic piping includes piping, fittings and valves used in building space conditioning systems. Applications include hot water, chilled water, steam, steam condensate, brines, and water/antifreeze mixtures. Chapter 12 contains the provisions that govern the construction, installation, alteration, and repair of all hydronic piping systems that affect reliability, serviceability, energy efficiency and safety. X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Meeting 3\Building Codes Upgrade Staff Report - Meeting 3 - 01-19-22.docx Page 9 of 14 Page 18 of 59 Chapter 13 Fuel Oil Piping and Storage. Chapter 13 regulates the design and installation of fuel oil storage and piping systems. The regulations include reference to construction standards for above-ground and underground storage tanks, material standards for piping systems (both aboveground and underground) and extensive requirements for the proper assembly of system piping and components. The International Fire Code (IFC) covers subjects not addressed in detail here. The provisions in this chapter are intended to prevent fires, leaks and spills involving fuel oil storage and piping systems. Chapter 14 Solar Thermal Systems. Chapter 14 establishes provisions for the safe installation, operation and repair of solar energy systems used for space heating or cooling, domestic hot water heating or processing. Although such systems use components similar to those of conventional mechanical equipment, many of these provisions are unique to solar energy systems. Chapter 15 Referenced Standards. Chapter 15 lists all the product and installation standards and codes that are referenced throughout Chapters 1 through 14. As stated in Section 102.8, these standards and codes become an enforceable part of the code (to the prescribed extent of the reference) as if printed in the body of the code. Chapter 15 provides the full title and edition year of the standards and codes in addition to the address of the promulgators and the section numbers in which the standards and codes are referenced. Staff is not recommending any amendments to the technical requirements of the IMC. The amendments presented serve to upgrade the edition of the code and strike the same sections that were struck in the previous adoption. The sections stricken from the code are not required as they are contained in the Residential and Building Codes, both of which will be reviewed by the BBA at a future meeting. X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Meeting 3\Building Codes Upgrade Staff Report - Meeting 3 - 01-19-22.docx Page 10 of 14 Page 19 of 59 International Fuel Gas Code, 2018 Note: This information below, related to the International Fuel Gas Code, was gleaned from the code but is not necessarily repeated here verbatim. The International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) is a model code that regulates the design and installation of fuel gas distribution piping and systems, appliances, appliance venting systems, combustion air provisions, gaseous hydrogen systems and motor vehicle gaseous-fuel-dispensing stations. The definition of fuel gas includes natural, liquefied petroleum and manufactured gases and mixtures of these gases. The purpose of the code is to establish the minimum acceptable level of safety and to protect life and property from the potential dangers associated with the storage, distribution, and usage of fuel gases and the byproducts of combustion of such fuels. The code also protects the personnel that install, maintain, service and replace the systems and appliances addressed by this code. Except for Section 401.1.1, the IFGC does not address utility-owned piping and equipment (i.e., anything upstream of the point of delivery). See the definition of “Point of delivery” and Section 501.8 for other code coverage exemptions. The IFGC is primarily a specification-oriented (prescriptive) code with some performance-oriented text. For example, Section 503.3.1 is a performance statement, but Chapter 5 contains prescriptive requirements that will cause Section 503.3.1 to be satisfied. The IFGC applies to all occupancies including one- and two-family dwellings and townhouses. The IRC is referenced for coverage of one- and two-family dwellings and townhouses; however, in effect, the IFGC provisions are still applicable because the fuel gas chapter in the IRC (Chapter 24) is composed entirely of text extracted from the IFGC. Therefore, whether using the IFGC or the IRC, the fuel gas provisions will be identical. The IFGC does not apply to piping systems that operate at pressures in excess of 125 psig for natural gas and 20 psig for LP-gas (note exception in Section 402.7). The general Section 105.2 and the specific Sections 304.8, 402.3, 503.5.5 and 503.6.10 allow combustion air provisions, pipe sizing and chimney and vent sizing to be performed by approved engineering methods as alternatives to the prescriptive methods in the code. The following is a chapter-by-chapter synopsis of the scope and intent of the provisions of the International Fuel Gas Code as repeated, though not verbatim, from the preface of the 2018 IFGC. Chapter 1 Scope and Administration. Chapter 1 establishes the limits of applicability of the code and describes how the code is to be applied and enforced. A fuel gas code, like any other code, is intended to be adopted as a legally enforceable document, and it cannot be effective without adequate provisions for its administration and enforcement. The provisions of Chapter 1 X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Meeting 3\Building Codes Upgrade Staff Report - Meeting 3 - 01-19-22.docx Page 11 of 14 Page 20 of 59 establish the authority and duties of the code official appointed by the authority having jurisdiction and establish the rights and privileges of the design professional, contractor, and property owner. Chapter 2 Definitions. Chapter 2 is the repository of the definitions of terms used in the body of the code. Codes are technical documents, and every word, term and punctuation mark can impact the meaning of the code text and the intended results. The code often uses terms that have a unique meaning in the code and the code meaning can differ substantially from the ordinarily understood meaning of the term as used outside of the code. The terms defined in Chapter 2 are deemed to be of prime importance in establishing the meaning and intent of the code text that uses the terms. The user of the code should be familiar with and consult this chapter because the definitions are essential to the correct interpretation of the code and because the user may not be aware that a term is defined. Chapter 3 General Regulations. Chapter 3 contains broadly applicable requirements related to appliance location and installation, appliance and systems access, protection of structural elements and clearances to combustibles, among others. This chapter also covers combustion air provisions for gas-fired appliances. Chapter 4 Gas Piping Installations. Chapter 4 covers the allowable materials for gas piping systems and the sizing and installation of such systems. It also covers pressure regulators, appliance connections and overpressure protection devices. Gas piping systems are sized to supply the maximum demand while maintaining the supply pressure necessary for safe operation of the appliances served. Chapter 5 Chimneys and Vents. Chapter 5 regulates the design, construction, installation, maintenance, repair and approval of chimneys, vents, venting systems, and their connections to gas-fired appliances. Properly designed chimneys, vents and venting systems are necessary to conduct to the outdoors the flue gases produced by the combustion of fuels in appliances. The provisions of this chapter are intended to minimize the hazards associated with high temperatures and potentially toxic and corrosive combustion gases. This chapter addresses all the factory-built and site-built chimneys, vents, and venting systems used to vent all types and categories of appliances. It also addresses direct-vent appliances, integral vent appliances, side- wall mechanically vented appliances and exhaust hoods that convey the combustion byproducts from cooking and other process appliances. Chapter 6 Specific Appliances. Chapter 6 addresses specific appliances that the code intends to regulate. Each main section applies to a unique type of gas-fired appliance and specifies the product standards to which the appliance must be listed. The general requirements found in the previous Chapters 1 through 5 also apply and the sections in Chapter 6 add the special requirements that are specific to each type of appliance. Chapter 7 Gaseous Hydrogen Systems. Chapter 7 is specific to gaseous hydrogen generation, storage, distribution and utilization systems, appliances, and equipment. Note that hydrogen is not within the definition of “Fuel gas,” but it is, nonetheless, commonly used as a fuel for fuel- cell power generation and fuel-cell powered motor vehicles. The scope of Chapter 7 is not X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Meeting 3\Building Codes Upgrade Staff Report - Meeting 3 - 01-19-22.docx Page 12 of 14 Page 21 of 59 limited to any particular use of hydrogen (see Sections 633 and 635). Hydrogen systems have unique potential hazards because of the specific gravity of the gas, its chemical effect on materials and the fact that it is not odorized. Chapter 8 Referenced Standards. Chapter 8 lists all the product and installation standards and codes that are referenced throughout Chapters 1 through 7. As stated in Section 102.8, these standards and codes become an enforceable part of the code (to the prescribed extent of the reference) as if printed in the body of the code. Chapter 8 provides the full title and edition year of the standards and codes in addition to the address of the promulgators and the section numbers in which the standards and codes are referenced. Staff is not recommending any amendments to the technical requirements of the IFGC. The amendments presented serve to upgrade the edition of the code and strike the same sections that were struck in the previous adoption. The sections stricken from the code are not required as they are contained in the Residential and Building Codes, both of which will be reviewed by the BBA at a future meeting.
