Once public comments, discussions and considerations have been completed, the Building Board of Appeals makes a recommendation to the Village Board. The recommendation, along with the meeting minutes, summary report and all related material, is then scheduled for consideration by the Village Board at one or two meetings. The recommendation may first be considered by the Village Board at a workshop meeting, which will be held on a Monday at 7:00 p.m. The recommendation may then be considered at a formal meeting of the Village Board at 7:00 p.m., for a formal decision. To confirm exact dates for these Village Board meetings, please call 630-547-5244. The Village Board meets in the Galligan Board Room on the third floor of the Civic Center, 535 Duane Street. Individuals with disabilities who plan to attend the hearing and who require certain accommodations in order to allow them to observe and participate, or who have questions regarding the accessibility of the meeting or facilities, are requested to contact the Village at least 24 hours before the meeting.

Roll was called. Present: Chairperson Tom Bredfeldt, BBA Members Brian Beck, Christopher Clark, Matthew Rooney, Thomas Tuscher, Robert Stahr and Barrington Pope. Public Comment Non-Agenda Items There was no public comment pertaining to non-agenda items. Approval of Minutes Following a motion by BBA Member Stahr, seconded by Member Clark, draft minutes of the January 19, 2022 meeting were approved as submitted, by voice vote, with all voting, “Yes,” except for Matthew Rooney, who abstained. Old Business Village Community Development Director Staci Springer gave a status update on action stemming from the recently held Building Community Listening Session. In doing so, she displayed and discussed elements of the accompanying chart (see attached): Calling the suggestion to create a survey to gather feedback about the permit process “a great idea,” Director Springer related that Staff contacted other communities to gain survey tool ideas. She said that a Survey Monkey is anticipated with postcards being distributed with permits including a QR Code link to the survey, and inviting clients to participate in the on-line survey by email. A survey link will be added to the Village website, she added. To a query about the permit cost increase generated by employing a consulting engineer vs. having a senior civil engineer on-staff, she reviewed history of the Village’s arrangement, explaining that costs have historically been passed off to the applicant, a practice engaged to prevent tax revenue from subsidizing an individual developer or property owner. To a suggestion that the Village create a map showing “informal flood-prone” or “local depressional areas” where additional engineering requirements are necessary and make it available to the public, Ms. Springer indicted that Staff agrees this would be useful, saying Staff currently relies on an informal map that draws from a chart tracking records of complaints about low areas. She said Staff would like to make this information public, and could perhaps do so by adding a layer to the Village’s GIS (geographic information system). Director Springer said Staff would like to make all submittals electronic, as has been suggested. She said that while the Village wants to do this, the task isn’t easy, but that Staff has started to investigate how to go about it, and has visited Elmhurst and Lombard, municipalities from which Staff has “learned a lot.” She added that, toward this end, a software company has been interviewed regarding a solution. She said that the Village IT Department is short-staffed, but Staff expects to request a consultant to assist with the evaluation process. Regarding a query as to why the Village requires stamped engineered drawings for retaining walls over 3-ft. high, when other municipalities do not, Ms. Springer stated that Staff has asked 1 Page 4 of 141 other communities about their approach, and will be formulating a recommendation on how to deal with this. New Business International Property Maintenance Code Building & Zoning Official Steve Witt commenced discussion of the International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC), continuing examination from the previous BBA meeting, confirming that references to the Life Safety Code that are still reflected in the IPMC will be removed. Mr. Witt said that a definition of what constitutes a dead tree has been added to address an ongoing concern among neighbors. The new section outlines premises owner responsibilities, which, he explained only apply to private property, as Public Works handles such issues that occur in the right-of-way. Mr. Witt turned his attention to provisions concerning infestation of bed bugs (items 37-40), explaining that Staff seeks a stronger requirement for treatment of such. Patterning proposed language after Chicago, Cook County and Oak Park code, he added that Staff is looking for tenant responsibility to notify the owner about an issue, as well as obligating the owner to engage an exterminator in a timely manner, followed by a second treatment. Mr. Witt said provisions would cover not only the offending dwelling unit, but those above, below and on either side of it, requiring an investigation of these units, and if bugs are found, then the affected unit(s) must be treated, too. He explained that the Code would regulate multi- family dwelling units where there are adjacencies, and is not intended for single-family homes. BBA Member Stahr asked if the language differentiates between a condo and an apartment building, since the former doesn’t necessarily have a landlord. Mr. Witt said the owner responsibility specified applies to each unit, and that any references to “landlord” will be changed to “owner.” Relative to outdoor storage of construction materials and equipment, Mr. Witt said Staff is not adding requirements to the pertinent, existing section. He explained that, as strictures for locating temporary storage are determined by zoning setbacks, no change is recommended. Observing a section (#41, which he said looked new) about below-grade occupancy, BBA Member Clark asked what happens to multi-family housing that has below-grade units. Official Witt said the intent is to prohibit the below-grade habitable space in the C5 District, specifically mixed-use, and that it is not intended for single-family use. He said it is to regulate against a full story below grade, and is not to mean garden apartments or partial recesses, and that he will reword the text to correspond with the Fire Code. Fire Code Building & Zoning Official Steve Witt commenced review of 71 items for consideration for update of the Fire Code, saying that some changes noted are administrative (e.g., nomenclature, section renumbering, and capitalization). He further noted that, in light of the number of co-working spaces in the Village serving alcohol, the Village needs to make sure these facilities meet plumbing and fire code requirements. Mr. Witt touched on a system of hazard categories (drawn from the Life Safety Code), relative to occupancy, as a determinant for installing fire sprinklers. Mr. Witt pointed to a change in the definition of “open burning.” The term, he said, includes recreational fires and portable outdoor fireplaces. He also mentioned added definitions pertaining to roof and gross wall areas in the context of alteration remodeling or additions. 2 Page 5 of 141 Item #21 has been a concern for a while, related Mr. Witt, who cited a fire in a restaurant dumpster that he believes lacked a metal lid. Without a metal lid, he said, dumpsters need to be placed a certain distance from buildings. Mr. Clark, fire chief, observed that totally plastic dumpsters are popular, and in some cases contain more fire load than the contents. Mr. Witt expressed concern about dumpsters being too close to building openings and utility poles. Mr. Stahr asked if dumpsters are in alleys where there is nowhere else to put dumpsters, to which Mr. Witt replied, “Yes.” Mr. Stahr asked if it’s permissible to place a dumpster up against a brick wall. Mr. Witt replied affirmatively, but cautioned that such a wall shouldn’t have openings that could be compromised by a fire in the dumpster, and stressed that a building with a dumpster placed in proximity has to be of noncombustible construction. Mr. Stahr asked if Code would at some point restrict businesses from having a dumpster in an alley. Mr. Clark suggested steel dumpsters, but not plastic ones, would be permitted. Mr. Stahr observed steel dumpsters with a plastic lid. Mr. Clark said his biggest concern is a plastic dumpster, since the Village can’t necessarily control whether the lids are closed, anyway, and said a steel dumpster would be better than a plastic one in such a situation. While Mr. Witt suggested a metal lid is preferable due to its weight, he said he’s open to suggestions on it. Citing rewritten Sec. 307 language, Official Witt said the Village is trying to get the Fire Code requirements better in sync with the Zoning ordinance, for example, specifying recreational fire locations. Bonfires and recreational fires, he continued, require approval by the Fire Code Official. He said that the Village is looking to have fire features that are not fixed to the ground located further from buildings. Mr. Clark asked if the term “fire pit” indicates no chimney, to which Mr. Witt replied, “Yes,” adding that the structure’s containment area is limited to no larger than 3 ft. in diameter and 2 ft. in height. Also specified in Sec. 307, he said, is what materials can and cannot be burned. Seasoned firewood and manufactured logs are acceptable, he said, adding that outdoor/stationary fireplaces and fire pits should have covers/screens/glass doors to contain disbursement of embers. Mr. Witt proceeded to review item #31 (which refers to placards on damaged buildings). Moving on to item #32, he invited input from Chief Clark as to reasonable amounts of combustible materials to be permitted in retail displays. Mr. Clark asked if propane container could also be included; Mr. Witt said he’d add this. Regarding below-grade occupancies (item #33), Mr. Witt said the Village doesn’t want residential dwelling units one story or more below the level of Fire Department access, but that the regulation is limited to C5 District multi-family/mixed use (where, generally, the exiting from spaces doesn’t meet Code). Mr. Witt moved on to items 34-38, which, he said, are intended to provide a quicker access for first responders. A building address should be displayed on the rear entry of multi-tenant commercial buildings, he said, adding that where there are multiple exterior doors these should be addressed to the same numbers as are on the front of the building. Key boxes should be installed on commercial building, continued Mr. Witt, who further outlined requirements for keys for tenant spaces. He said the Village is looking to make the tenancies provision retroactive to within one year of the date of adoption of the Code. He noted that multifamily buildings are required to have key boxes, but only for common spaces – hence the Fire Inspectors thought 10 keys might be enough. Chief Clark said that would be helpful for larger multi-family buildings to have multiple sets of keys. Mr. Witt noted that item #37 specifies two sets of keys to access the main entry door. Mr. Clark requested a set for each floor, to which Mr. Witt indicated that can be done. Mr. Witt said the Village wants to see keys are provided to override electronic keypads. Mr. Stahr suggested stamping keys to identify them as Mr. Clark had indicated that labels can prevent the 3 Page 6 of 141 keys from fitting in a box. Mr. Witt said language addressing labeling will be added (which might necessitate a larger box). Conveying that the first item under #40 is being stricken, Mr. Witt went on to discuss proposed provisions in this passage: Anytime there is a change in use group that ends up being an assembly or educational use and those areas are below level of fire department access, he said, those should be sprinklered; likewise, if a classification moves to one of a higher level reaching a greater fire risk, as well as if there’s change of use but not in the occupancy but an area of hazardous contents is created. He said the Village is not looking at something that would take it from a use that’s in the same hazard level to have it kick in, hence the deletion of item 1. Mr. Clark said this makes him sad, but he understands. Mr. Witt indicated it could be left in. Mr. Clark said it would be costly, and observed that investments in restaurants sometimes exclude sprinklers. Mr. Witt suggested looking to reduce the occupant load or applying fire protection on the openings of the kitchen area to prevent fires from spreading to patron area. Mr. Clark said he is good with the way it’s been proposed. Items 42-44, explained Official Witt, are asking the designer to put a minimum cushion of 5 PSI on the design of the pressure in the piping. Exterior audible/visual devices should replace alarm bells within a year of the date of the adoption of the Code, said Mr. Witt, as birds nest in the latter. This will also give a better view to the Fire Department, he said. Mr. Clark advised making these distinct so to be clear as to whether beyond a fire alarm activation there’s a water flow. Mr. Witt indicated that Staff will research available solutions to achieve this. Official Witt explained that item #46 is intended to require individual dwelling units (in a multi-family building) that have direct access to the outside (as opposed to via a corridor) to install alarms in the units (similar to one- and two-family dwellings). Mr. Witt noted no real changes to items 47 & 48. Items #49- 52, said Mr. Witt, are to get the locations of smoke alarms in compliance with State law. Item #53, he said, contains a retroactive provision, requiring an automatic fire alarm system to be installed in each existing building in the C5 zoning district (in which all new buildings and structures are required to have these) within one year of the date of Code adoption. Item #54, he explained, specifies that heat detectors be installed where ambient conditions prevent smoke detectors from being used. Mr. Witt said item #55 is deleted because it was picked up elsewhere. In item 56, which addresses “monitoring station,” Chief Clark requested including the term “remote station” in referring to the connection to DU-COMM. Mr. Witt proceeded to discuss sections concerned with additions, alterations and remodeling of existing buildings and structures, proposing looking at the situation holistically. To that end, he presented an interactive formula he devised for analyzing factors in attaining the threshold at which specified sprinkler installation is required. (The application, he said would exempt smaller homes.) Regarding residential basement remodel (>$15k in one- and two-family dwellings and townhouses), explained Mr. Witt, item #63 designates a sprinkler head be installed on the domestic water line within in 5 feet of a furnace and or a clothes dryer. Chief Clark remarked that this is a nice feature. Mr. Pope asked the types of dryers to which the requirement applies. Mr. Witt replied there is no distinction. Mr. Stahr asked if it applies to a gas-fired boiler. Mr. Witt said the way the text is written applies only to furnaces, but a boiler could be added. Chief Clark said referencing a dryer is more valuable. Mr. Witt noted that basements have more habitable use today, and that people sleep in them. Recalling having seen a greater number of dryer than furnace fires (which have been confined to the furnace), Chief Clark, said that what Mr. Witt proposed is fairly inexpensive, so probably not a bad idea. Mr. Tuscher asked if there’s any concern with gas water heaters. Chief Clark said he hasn’t seen too many issues with these, but such issues usually stem from improper storage around water heaters. Manufacturers, he indicated, have 4 Page 7 of 141 “upped the safety features” on water heaters. Mr. Beck opined that he likes the language the way it is now, and Chairperson Bredfeldt advocated for leaving it the way it is. Items #64 (which contains an altered standpipe reference) and #66 involve renumbering, and item 65 is being deleted, said Mr. Witt. Section 67 is a carryover from the Life Safety Code, explained Mr. Witt, pointing to provisions for multi-family building fire alarm installation. He said the Village is working on enforcing this provision, and that notices have been sent to approximately 135 buildings concerning conformance. He said the Village is looking for a heat detector to be installed in the main living room. Chief Clark said he doesn’t want the wording to relieve [building owners] from having single-station smoke alarms in the dwelling units, as required by State law. Mr. Witt replied that this would be covered by previous sections of the Code. He noted a renumbering concerning item #68. Official Witt explained that item #69, for tents, and had been written to reflect 400SF (in line with special event permitting), but that the Village Manager would like to revert to 700SF. Chief Clark asked if no permit is necessary for tents up to 400SF. Mr. Witt said this is correct, but if the sides are open, they can go up to 700SF without a permit. Chairperson Bredfeldt asked the rationale for changing from 700 to 400. Mr. Witt said it’s because all of the special event hand-outs have utilized 400 as the number (though the Park District uses larger tents), and said that the Village was concerned with looking at placement of tents, floor plan, exit signs and so forth. Wind damage sustained by tents, he said, prompted the Department to establish ballast protocols and examine permitting to “up the level” of safety. Mr. Clark asked if there’s anything stopping a business from putting up a tent instead of a building. Mr. Witt replied that a temporary tent cannot be erected for more than 180 days in any 12-month period. Mr. Clark asked if a business could have a tent up for six months without being regulated. Mr. Witt said the 400SF limit provided an opportunity to review those cases, and that going up to 700 will eliminate control. Ms. Springer interjected that they couldn’t do business outside because zoning controls require a variation to do so. She said the Village Manager didn’t want to be more restrictive than other communities in relation to the Fire Code. Mr. Clark said that as long Zoning Code covers that, that probably helps. Mr. Witt said paragraph 69 is stricken. Item #70, noted Mr. Witt, sets conditions for use of tents for outdoor dining events, which are not to be permitted between October 31 and March 31, due to potential snowfall, and heating needs – and walls added to contain heat, and which subsequently require an engineer’s evaluation relative to wind load stipulations. Trustee Kelly Kalinich asked if a tent for a Christmas market would be prohibited, to which Ms. Springer replied that this application would require a special use approval, which could be waived by Village Staff. But, she continued, if Mr. Witt’s proposed date restriction regulation is adopted, this use would be prohibited. Mr. Witt said that the Village could offer modifications to allow it for good reason, but in general, wants to see a date for removal of these structures from properties. Ms. Kalinich asked about churches or not-for-profit organizations wanting an event during that window outside for health reasons. Ms. Springer said language could be added to say that special events are permitted with Village Board approval. Mr. Witt stressed that the section in question only applies as written to outdoor dining use, but said language could be crafted to cover other uses. Ms. Springer and Mr. Witt indicated they’d take another look at the section. Mr. Pope suggested requiring approval for all other purposes than restaurant dining. Thinking that the wind gust, rain and snow text applies to all tents, Mr. Clark suggested dates might be regulated by the Zoning Code. Ms. Springer said that, with Covid, tents were erected over parking lots, which was allowed, but the “new normal” will require a zoning variation if parking is being 5 Page 8 of 141 eliminated for a lengthy period of time. (She said the Village hasn’t regulated tents on single-family residential property.) Chairperson Bredfeldt and Mr. Beck suggested dropping the phrase “time to time.” Mr. Witt said the wording is a path to tie in published guidelines outside of the Building or Fire Codes, but decided that the item in question isn’t really even needed; so the item (#70) will be reviewed and brought back to the BBA. He indicated it makes sense to revisit item #71, too, because if the 700SF requirement is used, it doesn’t make sense to review floor plans for a 400SF tent that doesn’t need a permit. Hence, he said, he recommends leaving the paragraph the way it is in the Book, which recommends only looking at a tent with an occupant load of 50 or more. He said that even if a permit isn’t required, maybe the Department should have a “look-see” to check exit signage, paths of egress, and Fire Department access – which is by and large done with special events applications, anyhow, so it makes sense to strike the 400SF reference here.) Chairperson Bredfeldt said he assumes the paragraph refers to a tent with walls. Mr. Witt replied that tent type isn’t specified, as also examined are table distancing, access aisles and exit path. Mr. Pope agreed that if it’s simply about exiting and occupant load (which Mr. Witt confirmed) it makes sense to drop the 400SF requirement. Mr. Witt said item 71 will be eliminated, and the section on tents will be brought back before the BBA. It was determined that the Property Maintenance Code dumpster lid question would be revisited at the next meeting to allow research as to dumpster lid options. Member Tuscher, seconded by Member Clark, moved to accept the Building Property Maintenance Code as written with the modifications as discussed. The motion passed unanimously by voice vote. Trustee’s Report Trustee Kalinich said the Village closed on the purchase of the hotel properties on Roosevelt Road, and is using a consultant to assist in determining use. She added that there’s no predetermined use for the property, despite misconception in the community pointing to the contrary, and that an input session will be held March 7th to elicit ideas. About five “best use” recommendations, she said, will move forward for consideration. She said reinstatement has been approved for the architectural review program – as the Architectural Appearance Commission – and that the next step is to identify commissioners to serve on it. Chairperson’s Report Chairperson Bredfeldt had no report. Staff Report Mr. Witt discussed the Energy Code, specifically the concept of the “stretch” energy code, being assembled by the State’s Capital Development Board for adoption by any municipality. Its requirements, he explained, seek to accelerate energy efficiency enforcement, which means that every three years the Village would have to rewrite the code to a higher level than the ICC base code. Recognizing the goal to reach “Net Zero,” Mr. Witt, said its application to buildings would be like trying to squeeze blood from a turnip, he said Staff is not recommending adopting this code. Adjournment After noting that the next meeting is scheduled for March 16th, Chairperson Bredfeldt adjourned tonight’s meeting at 9:44 p.m., following a unanimous voice vote on a motion to do so made by Member Tuscher and seconded by Member Stahr.

Also, now that we are using a consulting firm, we have been able to keep up with final grading reviews. Weather, especially in winter, limits our ability to perform final grading inspections. Final grading is approved once groundcover is established. The Village’s worksheet does state that builders need to have final grading surveys in 5 days before the final inspection is scheduled. We only have 2 builders who regularly try to meet that requirement. The others wait until the Village reminds them. We remind 9 out of 10 builders about this, which delays the permit close out and refunds. We can respond to specific issues if we are provided more information. 21 Building and Zoning Official takes a long time to Community Development will meet to return emails and calls. discuss this issue and provide an update at a future meeting. 22 The Building and Zoning Official and Stormwater Community Development will meet to There are unique challenges in the Village related to Engineer overreach their authority by telling discuss this issue and provide an update drainage and each property is unique.

This information was gleaned from the IFC but is not necessarily repeated here verbatim. The International Fire Code (IFC) is a model code that regulates minimum fire safety requirements for new and existing buildings, facilities, storage, and processes. The IFC addresses fire prevention, fire protection, life safety and safe storage and use of hazardous materials in new and existing buildings, facilities and processes. The IFC provides a total approach of controlling hazards in all buildings and sites, regardless of the hazard being indoors or outdoors. The IFC is a design document. For example, before one constructs a building, the site must be provided with an adequate water supply for fire-fighting operations and a means of building access for emergency responders in the event of a medical emergency, fire or natural or technological disaster. Depending on the building’s occupancy and uses, the IFC regulates the various hazards that may be housed within the building, including refrigeration systems, application of flammable finishes, fueling of motor vehicles, high-piled combustible storage and the storage and use of hazardous materials. The IFC sets forth minimum requirements for these and other hazards and contains requirements for maintaining the life safety of building occupants, the protection of emergency responders, and to limit the damage to a building and its contents as the result of a fire, explosion or unauthorized hazardous material discharge. As described, the IFC has many types of requirements for buildings and facilities. The applicability of these requirements varies. An understanding of the applicability of requirements, as addressed in Sections 102.1 and 102.2, is necessary. Section 102.1 addresses when the construction and design provisions are applicable whereas Section 102.2 addresses when the administrative, operational and maintenance provisions are applicable. Generally, the construction and design provisions only apply to new buildings or existing buildings and occupancies as addressed by Chapter 11. The administrative, maintenance and operational requirements are applicable to all buildings and facilities whether new or existing. The following is a chapter-by-chapter synopsis of the scope and intent of the provisions of the International Fire Code as repeated, though not verbatim, from the preface of the 2018 IFC. PART I–ADMINISTRATIVE 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 regulations contained in the body of the code. Only through careful observation of the administrative provisions can the code official reasonably expect to demonstrate that “equal protection under the law” has been provided. Chapter 2 Definitions. All terms that are defined in the code are listed alphabetically in Chapter X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Meeting 5\Final Attachments\Staff Report - Building Codes Upgrade Meeting 5 - 031622.docx Page 3 of 25 Page 25 of 141  2. While a defined term may be used in one chapter or another, the meaning provided in Chapter 2 is applicable throughout the code. Where understanding of a term’s definition is especially key to or necessary for understanding of a particular code provision, the term is shown in italics wherever it appears in the code. This is true only for those terms that have a meaning that is unique to the code. In other words, the generally understood meaning of a term or phrase might not be sufficient or consistent with the meaning prescribed by the code; therefore, it is essential that the code-defined meaning be known. Guidance regarding tense, gender, and plurality of defined terms as well as guidance regarding terms not defined in this code are also provided. PART II–GENERAL SAFETY PROVISIONS Chapter 3 General Requirements. The open burning, ignition source, vacant building, miscellaneous storage, roof gardens and landscaped roofs, outdoor pallet storage and hazards to fire fighters requirements and precautions, among other general regulations contained in this chapter, are intended to improve premises safety for everyone, including construction workers, tenants, operations and maintenance personnel, and emergency response personnel. As with other chapters of the International Fire Code, Section 302 contains a list of terms that are defined in Chapter 2 and are applicable to the chapter contents. Chapter 4 Emergency Planning and Preparedness. This chapter addresses the human contribution to life safety in buildings when a fire or other emergency occurs. The requirements for continuous training and scheduled fire, evacuation and lockdown drills can be as important as the required periodic inspections and maintenance of built-in fire protection features. The level of preparation by the occupants also improves the emergency responders’ abilities during an emergency. The International Building Code (IBC) focuses on built-in fire protection features, such as automatic sprinkler systems, fire-resistance-rated construction, and properly designed egress systems, whereas this chapter fully addresses the human element. As with other chapters of the Inter-national Fire Code, Section 402 contains a list of terms that are defined in Chapter 2 and are applicable to the chapter contents. PART III–BUILDING AND EQUIPMENT DESIGN FEATURES Chapter 5 Fire Service Features. The requirements of this chapter apply to all buildings and occupancies and pertain to access roads; access to building openings and roofs; premises identification; key boxes; fire protection water supplies; fire command centers; fire department access to equipment and emergency responder radio coverage in buildings. As with other chapters of the International Fire Code, Section 502 contains a list of terms that are defined in Chapter 2 and are applicable to the chapter contents. Chapter 6 Building Services and Systems. This chapter focuses on building systems and services as they relate to potential safety hazards and when and how they should be installed. This chapter brings together all building system- and service-related issues for convenience and provides a more systematic view of buildings. The following building services and systems are addressed: fuel-fired appliances (Section 603), electrical equipment, wiring and hazards (Section 604), mechanical refrigeration (Section 605), elevator recall and maintenance (Section 606), commercial kitchen hoods (Section 607), commercial kitchen cooking oil storage (608) and hyperbaric facilities (609). As X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Meeting 5\Final Attachments\Staff Report - Building Codes Upgrade Meeting 5 - 031622.docx Page 4 of 25 Page 26 of 141  with other chapters of the International Fire Code, Section 602 contains a list of terms that are defined in Chapter 2 and are applicable to the chapter contents. Note that building systems focused on energy systems and components are addressed by Chapter 12. Chapter 7 Fire and Smoke Protection Features. The maintenance of assemblies required to be fire-resistance rated is a key component in a passive fire protection philosophy. Chapter 7 sets forth requirements to maintain required fire-resistance ratings of building elements and limit fire spread. Section 701 addresses the basics of what construction elements such as fire barriers and smoke barriers need to be maintained as well as defining the owner’s responsibility. The rest of the chapter, Sections 703 through 706, deals with various fire and smoke protection features that must also be maintained. These features include penetrations, joint protection, door, and window openings and duct and air transfer opening protection. As with other chapters of the International Fire Code, Section 702 contains a list of terms that are defined in Chapter 2 and are applicable to the chapter contents. Chapter 8 Interior Finish, Decorative Materials and Furnishings. The overall purpose of Chapter 8 is to regulate interior finishes, decorative materials, and furnishings in new and existing buildings so that they do not significantly add to or create fire hazards within buildings. The provisions tend to focus on occupancies with specific risk characteristics, such as vulnerability of occupants, density of occupants, lack of familiarity with the building and societal expectations of importance. This chapter is consistent with Chapter 8 of the International Building Code (IBC), which regulates the interior finishes of new buildings. As with other chapters of the International Fire Code, Section 802 contains a list of terms that are defined in Chapter 2 and are applicable to the chapter contents. Chapter 9 Fire Protection and Life Safety Systems. Chapter 9 prescribes the minimum requirements for active systems of fire protection equipment to perform the functions of detecting a fire, alerting the occupants or fire department of a fire emergency, controlling smoke, and controlling or extinguishing the fire. There are provisions relating to gas detection and associated alarms. Mass notification systems are also addressed. Generally, the requirements are based on the occupancy, the height, and the area of the building, because these are the factors that most affect fire-fighting capabilities and the relative hazard of a specific building or portion thereof. This chapter parallels and is substantially duplicated in Chapter 9 of the International Building Code; however, this chapter also contains periodic testing criteria that are not contained in the IBC. In addition, the special fire protection system requirements based on use and occupancy found in Chapter 4 of the IBC are duplicated in Chapter 9 of the IFC as a user convenience. As with other chapters of the International Fire Code, Section 902 contains a list of terms that are defined in Chapter 2 and are applicable to the chapter contents. Chapter 10 Means of Egress. The general criteria set forth in Chapter 10 regulating the design of the means of egress are established as the primary method for protection of people in buildings by allowing timely relocation or evacuation of building occupants. Both prescriptive and performance language is utilized in this chapter to provide for a basic approach in the determination of a safe exiting system for all occupancies. It addresses all portions of the egress system (i.e., exit access, exits and exit discharge) and includes design requirements as well as provisions regulating individual components. The requirements detail the size, arrangement, number and protection of X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Meeting 5\Final Attachments\Staff Report - Building Codes Upgrade Meeting 5 - 031622.docx Page 5 of 25 Page 27 of 141  means of egress components. Functional and operational characteristics also are specified for the components that will permit their safe use without special knowledge or effort. The means of egress protection requirements work in coordination with other sections of the code, such as protection of vertical openings (see Chapter 7), interior finish (see Chapter 8), fire suppression and detection systems (see Chapter 9) and numerous others, all having an impact on life safety. Sections 1002 through 1030 duplicate text from Chapter 10 of the IBC; however, the IFC contains an additional Section 1031 on maintenance of the means of egress system in existing buildings. Retroactive minimum means of egress requirements for existing buildings are found in Chapter 11. Chapter 11 Construction Requirements for Existing Buildings. Chapter 11 applies to existing buildings constructed prior to the adoption of the code and intends to provide a minimum degree of fire and life safety to persons occupying existing buildings by providing for alterations to such buildings that do not comply with the minimum requirements of the International Building Code. Prior to the 2009 edition, its content existed in the IFC but in a random manner that was neither efficient nor user-friendly. In the 2007/2008 code development cycle, a code change (F294- 07/08) was approved that consolidated the retroactive elements of IFC/2006 Sections 607, 701, 704, 903, 905, 907 and 3406 (then 2506) and all of then-Section 1027 (Means of Egress for Existing Buildings) into a single chapter for easier and more efficient reference and application to existing buildings. The provisions address general fire safety features such as requirements for fire alarm systems, CO detection and automatic sprinkler systems in some existing buildings, general means of egress, and finally, the chapter contains a section dedicated to existing Group I-2 occupancies. As with other chapters of the International Fire Code, Section 1102 contains a list of terms that are defined in Chapter 2 and are applicable to the chapter contents. Chapter 12 Energy Systems. Chapter 12 was added to address the current energy systems found in the IFC. It introduces a wide range of systems that generate and store energy in, on and adjacent to buildings and facilities. The expansion of such energy systems is related to meeting today’s energy, environmental and economic challenges. Ensuring appropriate criteria to address the safety of such systems in building and fire codes is an important part of protecting the public at large, building occupants and emergency responders. Previously, requirements for energy systems, such as standby power systems, PV systems and stationary battery systems, were scattered about in various locations in Chapter 6, which addresses building services and systems. However, with the addition of fuel cells and capacitor energy storage systems to the IFC, a chapter dedicated to such related issues needed to be created. This chapter provides an appropriate location for the addition of future energy systems. Chapters 13 through 19. Reserved for future use. PART IV–SPECIAL OCCUPANCIES AND OPERATIONS Chapter 20 Aviation Facilities. Chapter 20 specifies minimum requirements for the fire-safe operation of airports, heliports, and helistops. The principal nonflight operational hazards associated with aviation involve fuel, facilities, and operations. Therefore, safe use of flammable and combustible liquids during fueling and maintenance operations is emphasized. Availability of portable Class B:C-rated fire extinguishers for prompt control or suppression of incipient fires is required. As with other chapters of the International Fire Code, Section 2002 contains a list of terms that are defined in Chapter 2 and are applicable to the chapter contents. X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Meeting 5\Final Attachments\Staff Report - Building Codes Upgrade Meeting 5 - 031622.docx Page 6 of 25 Page 28 of 141  Chapter 21 Dry Cleaning. The provisions of Chapter 21 are intended to reduce hazards associated with use of flammable and combustible dry cleaning solvents. These materials, like all volatile organic chemicals, generate significant quantities of static electricity and are thus readily ignitable. Many flammable and nonflammable dry cleaning solvents also possess health hazards when involved in a fire. As with other chapters of the International Fire Code, Section 2102 contains a list of terms that are defined in Chapter 2 and are applicable to the chapter contents. Chapter 22 Combustible Dust-producing Operations. The requirements of Chapter 22 seek to reduce the likelihood of dust explosions by managing the hazards of ignitable suspensions of combustible dusts associated with a variety of operations including woodworking, mining, food processing, agricultural commodity storage and handling and pharmaceutical manufacturing, among others. Ignition source control and good housekeeping practices in occupancies containing dust- producing operations are emphasized. As with other chapters of the International Fire Code, Section 2202 contains a list of terms that are defined in Chapter 2 and are applicable to the chapter contents. Chapter 23 Motor Fuel-dispensing Facilities and Repair Garages. This chapter provides provisions that regulate the storage and dispensing of both liquid and gaseous motor fuels at public and private automotive, marine and aircraft motor fuel-dispensing facilities, fleet vehicle motor fuel-dispensing facilities and repair garages. As with other chapters of the International Fire Code, Section 2302 contains a list of terms that are defined in Chapter 2 and are applicable to the chapter contents. Chapter 24 Flammable Finishes. Chapter 24 requirements govern operations where flammable or combustible finishes are applied by spraying, dipping, powder coating or flow-coating processes. As with all operations involving flammable or combustible liquids and combustible dusts or vapors, controlling ignition sources and methods of reducing or controlling flammable vapors or combustible dusts at or near these operations are emphasized. As with other chapters of the International Fire Code, Section 2402 contains a list of terms that are defined in Chapter 2 and are applicable to the chapter contents. Chapter 25 Fruit and Crop Ripening. Chapter 25 provides guidance that is intended to reduce the likelihood of explosions resulting from improper use or handling of ethylene gas used for crop ripening and coloring processes. This is accomplished by regulating ethylene gas generation; storage and distribution systems and controlling ignition sources. Design and construction of facilities for this use are regulated by the International Building Code to reduce the impact of potential accidents on people and buildings. Chapter 26 Fumigation and Insecticidal Fogging. This chapter regulates fumigation and insecticidal fogging operations which use toxic pesticide chemicals to kill insects, rodents and other vermin. Fumigants and insecticidal fogging agents pose little hazard if properly applied; however, the inherent toxicity of all these agents and the potential flammability of some makes special precautions necessary when they are used. Requirements of this chapter are intended to protect both the public and fire fighters from hazards associated with these products. As with other chapters of the International Fire Code, Section 2602 contains a list of terms that are defined in Chapter 2 and are applicable to the chapter contents. X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Meeting 5\Final Attachments\Staff Report - Building Codes Upgrade Meeting 5 - 031622.docx Page 7 of 25 Page 29 of 141  Chapter 27 Semiconductor Fabrication Facilities. The requirements of this chapter are intended to control hazards associated with the manufacture of electrical circuit boards or microchips, commonly called semiconductors. Though the finished product possesses no unusual hazards, materials commonly associated with semiconductor manufacturing are often quite hazardous and include flammable liquids, pyrophoric and flammable gases, toxic substances and corrosives. The requirements of this chapter are concerned with both life safety and property protection. However, the fire code official should recognize that the risk of extraordinary property damages is far more common than the risk of personal injuries from fire. As with other chapters of the International Fire Code, Section 2702 contains a list of terms that are defined in Chapter 2 and are applicable to the chapter contents. Chapter 28 Lumber Yards and Agro-industrial, Solid Biomass and Woodworking Facilities. Provisions of this chapter are intended to prevent fires and explosions, facilitate fire control and reduce exposures to and from facilities storing, selling, or processing wood and forest products, including sawdust, wood chips, shavings, bark mulch, shorts, finished planks, sheets, posts, poles, timber and raw logs and the hazard they represent once ignited. Also included are solid biomass feedstock and raw products associated with agro-industrial facilities, the outdoor storage of pallets and manufacturing and recycling facilities. This chapter requires active and passive fire protection features to reduce on- and off-site exposures, limit fire size and development and facilitate fire fighting by employees and the fire service. As with other chapters of the International Fire Code, Section 2802 contains a list of terms that are defined in Chapter 2 and are applicable to the chapter contents. Chapter 29 Manufacture of Organic Coatings. This chapter regulates materials and processes associated with the manufacture of paints as well as bituminous, asphaltic, and other diverse compounds formulated to protect buildings, machines, and objects from the effects of weather, corrosion and hostile environmental exposures. Paint for decorative, architectural, and industrial uses comprises the bulk of organic coating production. Painting and processes related to the manufacture of nonflammable and noncombustible or water-based products are exempt from the provisions of this chapter. The application of organic coatings is covered by Chapter 24. Elimination of ignition sources, maintenance of fire protection equipment and isolation or segregation of hazardous operations are emphasized. As with other chapters of the International Fire Code, Section 2902 contains a term that is defined in Chapter 2 and is applicable to the chapter contents. Chapter 30 Industrial Ovens. This chapter addresses the fuel supply, ventilation, emergency shutdown equipment, fire protection and the operation and maintenance of industrial ovens, which are sometimes referred to as industrial heat enclosures or industrial furnaces. Compliance with this chapter is intended to reduce the likelihood of fires involving industrial ovens which are usually the result of the fuel in use or volatile vapors given off by the materials being heated or to manage the impact if a fire should occur. As with other chapters of the International Fire Code, Section 3002 contains a list of terms that are defined in Chapter 2 and are applicable to the chapter contents. Chapter 31 Tents, Temporary Structures and Other Membrane Structures. The requirements in this chapter are intended to protect temporary as well as permanent tents and air-supported and other membrane structures and temporary special event structures from fire and similar X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Meeting 5\Final Attachments\Staff Report - Building Codes Upgrade Meeting 5 - 031622.docx Page 8 of 25 Page 30 of 141  hazards by regulating structure location and access, anchorage, egress, heat-producing equipment, hazardous materials and operations, combustible vegetation, ignition sources, waste accumulation and requiring regular inspections and certifying continued compliance with fire safety regulations. This chapter also addresses outdoor assembly events, which are not limited to those events where tents or other membrane structures are used but are regulated due to the number of people, density of those people and hazards associated with large outdoor events related to egress, fire hazards from cooking and other related concerns. As with other chapters of the International Fire Code, Section 3102 contains a list of terms that are defined in Chapter 2 and are applicable to the chapter contents. Chapter 32 High-piled Combustible Storage. This chapter provides guidance for reasonable protection of life from hazards associated with the storage of combustible materials in closely packed piles or on pallets, in racks or on shelves where the top of storage is greater than 12 feet in height. It provides requirements for identifying various classes of commodities; general fire and life safety features including storage arrangements, smoke and heat venting, and fire department access; and housekeeping and maintenance requirements. The chapter attempts to define the potential fire severity and, in turn, determine fire and life safety protection measures needed to control, and in some cases suppress, a potential fire. This chapter does not cover miscellaneous combustible materials storage regulated in Section 315. As with other chapters of the International Fire Code, Section 3202 contains a list of terms that are defined in Chapter 2 and are applicable to the chapter contents. Chapter 33 Fire Safety during Construction and Demolition. Chapter 33 outlines general fire safety precautions for all structures and all occupancies during construction and demolition operations. In general, these requirements seek to maintain required levels of fire protection, limit fire spread, establish the appropriate operation of equipment and promote prompt response to fire emergencies. Features regulated include fire protection systems, fire fighter access to the site and building, means of egress, hazardous materials storage and use and temporary heating equipment and other ignition sources. With the 2012 reorganization, this chapter now correlates with Chapter 33 of the IBC. Chapter 34 Tire Rebuilding and Tire Storage. The requirements of Chapter 34 are intended to prevent or control fires and explosions associated with the remanufacture and storage of tires and tire byproducts. Additionally, the requirements are intended to minimize the impact of indoor and outdoor tire storage fires by regulating pile volume and location, segregating the various operations, providing for fire department access and a water supply and controlling ignition sources. Chapter 35 Welding and Other Hot Work. This chapter covers requirements for safety in welding and other types of hot work by reducing the potential for fire ignitions that usually result in large losses. Several different types of hot work would fall under the requirements found in Chapter 35, including both gas and electric arc methods and any open-torch operations. Many of the activities of this chapter focus on the actions of the occupants. As with other chapters of the International Fire Code, Section 3502 contains a list of terms that are defined in Chapter 2 and are applicable to the chapter contents. Chapter 36 Marinas. Chapter 36 addresses the fire protection and prevention requirements for X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Meeting 5\Final Attachments\Staff Report - Building Codes Upgrade Meeting 5 - 031622.docx Page 9 of 25 Page 31 of 141  marinas. It was developed in response to the complications encountered by a number of fire departments responsible for the protection of marinas as well as fire loss history in marinas that lacked fire protection. Compliance with this chapter intends to establish safe practices in marina areas, provide an identification method for mooring spaces in the marina, and provide fire fighters with safe operational areas and fire protection methods to extend hose lines in a safe manner. As with other chapters of the International Fire Code, Section 3602 contains a list of terms that are defined in Chapter 2 and are applicable to the chapter contents. Chapter 37 Combustible Fibers. Chapter 37 establishes the requirements for storage and handling of combustible fibers, including animal, vegetable and synthetic fibers, whether woven into textiles, baled, packaged or loose. Operations involving combustible fibers are typically associated with salvage, paper milling, recycling, cloth manufacturing, carpet and textile mills and agricultural operations, among others. The primary hazard associated with these operations is the abundance of materials and their ready ignitability. As with other chapters of the International Fire Code, Section 3702 contains a list of terms that are defined in Chapter 2 and are applicable to the chapter contents. Chapter 38 Higher Education Laboratories. Chapter 38 is a new chapter addressing the unique needs of laboratories in higher education academic institutions. The advancement of technologies, science, medicine and our knowledge of the world often relies on having vibrant and successful academic institutions. These academic institutions often have chemistry, biology, medical, engineering and other laboratories where hazardous materials are used. The chapter addresses both new and existing buildings and new and existing laboratories. Applying the general hazardous material provisions has been difficult because of the ways these laboratories operate. Often there are many small laboratories that use very small quantities of hazardous materials that individually do not exceed the MAQs. However, in aggregate the quantities will exceed the MAQs and could result in the need for a Group H occupancy classification. It is believed that the lower density of hazardous materials often mitigates the overall risk. Therefore, this lower density along with a package of additional requirements (including the concept of laboratory suites with fire-resistance- rated separations) renders a Group H occupancy classification not necessary. This chapter also addresses the use of certain materials typically prohibited for existing buildings where located in buildings not protected throughout with a sprinkler system. These allowances come with certain safety measures such as the use of storage cabinets and fume hoods. Chapter 39 Processing and Extraction Facilities. Chapter 39 is a new chapter focused on the processing and extraction of oils and fats from various plants. This process includes the extraction by use of solvent, desolventizing of the raw material and production of the miscella, and distillation of the solvent from the miscella and solvent recovery. The processes used are not necessarily typical hazardous material processes and often the systems and equipment associated with such processes are not listed. Due to the typical lack of listings, the systems and equipment need specific approvals for each installation. This chapter provides the tools to appropriately enforce the IFC to meet the unique needs of industry while providing the appropriate level of safety. This chapter has provisions for a technical report prepared by a registered design professional. This chapter also requires site inspections to make sure equipment and systems are installed as designed and approved. Chapters 40 through 49. Reserved for future use.

This chapter contains the general requirements for all hazardous chemicals in all occupancies. Hazardous chemicals are defined as those that pose an unreasonable risk to the health and safety of operating or emergency personnel, the public and the environment if not properly controlled during handling, storage, manufacture, processing, packaging, use, disposal, or transportation. The general provisions of this chapter are intended to be companion provisions with the specific requirements of Chapters 51 through 67 regarding a given hazardous material. As with other chapters of the International Fire Code, Section 5002 contains a list of terms that are defined in Chapter 2 and are applicable to the chapter contents. Chapter 51 Aerosols. Chapter 51 addresses the prevention, control, and extinguishment of fires and explosions in facilities where retail aerosol products are displayed or stored. It is concerned with both life safety and property protection from a fire; however, historically, aerosol product fires have caused property loss more frequently than loss of life. Requirements for storing aerosol products are dependent on the level of aerosol product, level of sprinkler protection, type of storage condition and quantity of aerosol products. As with other chapters of the International Fire Code, Section 5102 contains a list of terms that are defined in Chapter 2 and are applicable to the chapter contents. Chapter 52. Reserved for future use. Chapter 53 Compressed Gases. This chapter regulates the storage, use and handling of all flammable and nonflammable compressed gases, such as those that are used in medical facilities, air separation plants, industrial plants, agricultural equipment facilities and similar occupancies. Standards for the design, construction and marking of compressed gas cylinders and pressure vessels are referenced. Compressed gases used in welding and cutting, cryogenic liquids and liquefied petroleum gases are also regulated under Chapters 35, 55 and 61, respectively. Compressed gases that are classified as hazardous materials are also regulated in Chapter 50, which includes general requirements. As with other chapters of the International Fire Code, Section 5302 contains a list of terms that are defined in Chapter 2 and are applicable to the chapter contents. Chapter 54 Corrosive Materials. Chapter 54 addresses the hazards of corrosive materials that have a destructive effect on living tissues. Although corrosive gases exist, most corrosive materials are solid or liquid and classified as either acids or bases (alkalis). These materials may pose a wide range of hazards other than corrosivity, such as combustibility, reactivity or oxidizing hazards, and must conform to the requirements of this code with respect to all known hazards. The focus of this chapter is on materials whose primary hazard is corrosivity; that is, the ability to destroy or irreparably damage living tissue on contact. As with other chapters of the International Fire Code, Section 5402 contains a list of terms that are defined in Chapter 2 and are applicable to the chapter contents. Chapter 55 Cryogenic Fluids. This chapter regulates the hazards associated with the storage, use and handling of cryogenic fluids through regulation of such things as pressure relief mechanisms and proper container storage. These hazards are in addition to the code requirements that address the other hazards of cryogenic fluids such as flammability and toxicity. These other characteristics are dealt with in Chapter 50 and other chapters, such as Chapter 58 dealing with flammable gases. X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Meeting 5\Final Attachments\Staff Report - Building Codes Upgrade Meeting 5 - 031622.docx Page 11 of 25 Page 33 of 141  Cryogens are hazardous because they are held at extremely low temperatures and high pressures. Many cryogenic fluids, however, are actually inert gases and would not be regulated elsewhere in this code. Cryogens are used for many applications but specifically have had widespread use in the biomedical field and in space programs. As with other chapters of the International Fire Code, Section 5502 contains a list of terms that are defined in Chapter 2 and are applicable to the chapter contents. Chapter 56 Explosives and Fireworks. This chapter prescribes minimum requirements for the safe manufacture, storage, handling and use of explosives, ammunition and blasting agents for commercial and industrial occupancies. These provisions are intended to protect the general public, emergency responders and individuals who handle explosives. Chapter 56 also regulates the manufacturing, retail sale, display and wholesale distribution of fireworks, establishing the requirements for obtaining approval to manufacture, store, sell, discharge or conduct a public display, and references national standards for regulations governing manufacture, storage and public displays. As with other chapters of the International Fire Code, Section 5602 contains a list of terms that are defined in Chapter 2 and are applicable to the chapter contents. Chapter 57 Flammable and Combustible Liquids. The requirements of this chapter are intended to reduce the likelihood of fires involving the storage, handling, use or transportation of flammable and combustible liquids. Adherence to these practices may also limit damage in the event of an accidental fire involving these materials. These liquids are used for fuel, lubricants, cleaners, solvents, medicine and even drinking. The danger associated with flammable and combustible liquids is that the vapors from these liquids, when combined with air in their flammable range, will burn or explode at temperatures near normal living and working environment. The protection provided by this code is to prevent the flammable and combustible liquids from being ignited. As with other chapters of the International Fire Code, Section 5702 contains a list of terms that are defined in Chapter 2 and are applicable to the chapter contents. Chapter 58 Flammable Gases and Flammable Cryogenic Fluids. Chapter 58 sets requirements for the storage and use of flammable gases. For safety purposes, there is a limit on the quantities of flammable gas allowed per control area. Exceeding these limitations increases the possibility of damage to both property and individuals. The principal hazard posed by flammable gas is its ready ignitability, or even explosivity, when mixed with air in the proper proportions. Consequently, occupancies storing or handling large quantities of flammable gas are classified as Group H-2 (high hazard) by the International Building Code. As with other chapters of the International Fire Code, Section 5802 contains a list of terms that are defined in Chapter 2 and are applicable to the chapter contents. Chapter 59 Flammable Solids. This chapter addresses general requirements for storage and handling of flammable solids, especially magnesium; however, it is important to note that several other solid materials, primarily metals including, but not limited to, titanium, zirconium, hafnium, calcium, zinc, sodium, lithium, potassium, sodium/potassium alloys, uranium, thorium and plutonium, can be explosion hazards under the right conditions. Some of these metals are almost exclusively laboratory materials but because of where they are used, fire service personnel must be trained to handle emergency situations. Because uranium, thorium and plutonium are also radioactive materials, they present still more specialized problems for fire service personnel. As with other X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Meeting 5\Final Attachments\Staff Report - Building Codes Upgrade Meeting 5 - 031622.docx Page 12 of 25 Page 34 of 141  chapters of the International Fire Code, Section 5902 contains a list of terms that are defined in Chapter 2 and are applicable to the chapter contents. Chapter 60 Highly Toxic and Toxic Materials. The main purpose of this chapter is to protect occupants, emergency responders and those in the immediate area of the building and facility from short-term, acute hazards associated with a release or general exposure to toxic and highly toxic materials. This chapter deals with all three states of toxic and highly toxic materials: solids, liquids and gases. This code does not address long-term exposure effects of these materials, which are addressed by agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). As with other chapters of the International Fire Code, Section 6002 contains a list of terms that are defined in Chapter 2 and are applicable to the chapter contents. Chapter 61 Liquefied Petroleum Gases. Chapter 61 establishes requirements for the safe handling, storing and use of LP-gas to reduce the possibility of damage to containers, accidental releases of LP-gas and exposure of flammable concentrations of LP-gas to ignition sources. LP-gas (notably propane) is well known as a camping fuel for cooking, lighting, heating and refrigerating and also remains a popular standby fuel supply for auxiliary generators as well as being widely used as an alternative motor vehicle fuel. Its characteristic as a clean-burning fuel has resulted in the addition of propane dispensers to service stations throughout the country. As with other chapters of the International Fire Code, Section 6102 contains a list of terms that are defined in Chapter 2 and are applicable to the chapter contents. Chapter 62 Organic Peroxides. This chapter addresses the hazards associated with the storage, handling and use of organic peroxides and intends to manage the fire and oxidation hazards of organic peroxides by preventing their uncontrolled release. These chemicals possess the characteristics of flammable or combustible liquids and are also strong oxidizers. This unusual combination of properties requires special storage and handling precautions to prevent uncontrolled release, contamination, hazardous chemical reactions, fires or explosions. The requirements of this chapter pertain to industrial applications in which significant quantities of organic peroxides are stored or used; however, smaller quantities of organic peroxides still pose a significant hazard and, therefore, must be stored and used in accordance with the applicable provisions of this chapter and Chapter 50. As with other chapters of the International Fire Code, Section 6202 contains a list of terms that are defined in Chapter 2 and are applicable to the chapter contents. Chapter 63 Oxidizers, Oxidizing Gases and Oxidizing Cryogenic Fluids. Chapter 63 addresses the hazards associated with solid, liquid, gaseous and cryogenic fluid oxidizing materials, including oxygen in home use, and establishes criteria for their safe storage and protection in indoor and outdoor storage facilities, minimizing the potential for uncontrolled releases and contact with fuel sources. Although oxidizers themselves do not burn, they pose unique fire hazards because of their ability to support combustion by breaking down and giving off oxygen. As with other chapters of the International Fire Code, Section 6302 contains a list of terms that are defined in Chapter 2 and are applicable to the chapter contents. Chapter 64 Pyrophoric Materials. This chapter regulates the hazards associated with pyrophoric materials, which are capable of spontaneously igniting in the air at or below a temperature of 130°F (54°C). Many pyrophoric materials also pose severe flammability or reactivity hazards. This X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Meeting 5\Final Attachments\Staff Report - Building Codes Upgrade Meeting 5 - 031622.docx Page 13 of 25 Page 35 of 141  chapter addresses only the hazards associated with pyrophoric materials. Materials that pose multiple hazards must conform to the requirements of the code with respect to all hazards. As with other chapters of the International Fire Code, Section 6402 contains a list of terms that are defined in Chapter 2 and are applicable to the chapter contents. Chapter 65 Pyroxylin (Cellulose Nitrate) Plastics. This chapter addresses the significant hazards associated with pyroxylin (cellulose nitrate) plastics, which are the most dangerous and unstable of all plastic compounds. The chemically bound oxygen in their structure permits them to burn vigorously in the absence of atmospheric oxygen at a rate 15 times greater than comparable common combustibles. Strict compliance with the provisions of this chapter, along with proper housekeeping and storage arrangements, helps to reduce the hazards associated with pyroxylin (cellulose nitrate) plastics in a fire or other emergencies. Chapter 66 Unstable (Reactive) Materials. This chapter addresses the hazards of unstable (reactive) liquid and solid materials as well as unstable (reactive) compressed gases. In addition to their unstable reactivity, these materials may pose other hazards, such as toxicity, corrosivity, explosivity, flammability or oxidizing potential. This chapter, however, intends to address those materials whose primary hazard is unstable reactivity. Materials that pose multiple hazards must conform to the requirements of the code with respect to all hazards. Strict compliance with the provisions of this chapter, along with proper housekeeping and storage arrangements, help reduce the exposure hazards associated with unstable (reactive) materials in a fire or other emergency. As with other chapters of the International Fire Code, Section 6602 contains a list of terms that are defined in Chapter 2 and are applicable to the chapter contents. Chapter 67 Water-reactive Solids and Liquids. This chapter addresses the hazards associated with water-reactive materials that are solid or liquid at normal temperatures and pressures. In addition to their water reactivity, these materials may pose a wide range of other hazards, such as toxicity, flammability, corrosiveness, or oxidizing potential. This chapter addresses only those materials whose primary hazard is water reactivity. Materials that pose multiple hazards must conform to the requirements of the code with respect to all hazards. Strict compliance with the requirements of this chapter, along with proper housekeeping and storage arrangements, helps to reduce the exposure hazards associated with water-reactive materials in a fire or other emergency. As with other chapters of the International Fire Code, Section 6702 contains a list of terms that are defined in Chapter 2 and are applicable to the chapter contents. Chapters 68 through 79. Reserved for future use.

The International Building Code (IBC) is a model code that provides minimum requirements to safeguard the public health, safety and general welfare of the occupants of new and existing buildings and structures. The IBC is fully compatible with the ICC family of codes. The IBC addresses structural strength, means of egress, sanitation, adequate lighting and ventilation, accessibility, energy conservation and life safety in regard to new and existing buildings, facilities and systems. The codes are promulgated on a 3-year cycle to allow for new construction methods and technologies to be incorporated into the codes. Alternative materials, designs and methods not specifically addressed in the code can be approved by the building official where the proposed materials, designs or methods comply with the intent of the provisions of the code (see Section 104.11). The IBC applies to all occupancies, including one- and two-family dwellings and townhouses that are not within the scope of the IRC. The IRC is referenced for coverage of detached one- and two- family dwellings and townhouses as defined in the exception to Section 101.2 and the definition for “Townhouse” in Chapter 2. The IRC can also be used for the construction of live/work units (as defined in Section 419) and small bed and breakfast-style hotels where there are five or fewer guest rooms and the hotel is owner occupied. The IBC applies to all types of buildings and structures unless exempted. Work exempted from permits is listed in Section 105.2. The following is a chapter-by-chapter synopsis of the scope and intent of the provisions of the International Building Code as repeated, though not verbatim, from the preface of the 2018 IPMC. 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. Chapter 1 is in two parts, Part 1- Scope and Application (Sections 101-102) and Part 2-Administration and Enforcement (Sections 103-116). Section 101 identifies which buildings and structures come under its purview and refer- ences other I-Codes as applicable. Standards and codes are scoped to the extent referenced (see Section 102.4). The building 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 building official appointed by the authority having jurisdiction and also establish the rights and privileges of the design professional, contractor and property owner. Chapter 2 Definitions. An alphabetical listing of all defined terms is located in Chapter 2. Defined terms that are pertinent to a specific chapter or section are also found in that chapter or section with a reference back to Chapter 2 for the definition. While a defined term may be listed in one chapter or another, the meaning is applicable throughout 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 X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Meeting 5\Final Attachments\Staff Report - Building Codes Upgrade Meeting 5 - 031622.docx Page 15 of 25 Page 37 of 141  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. Where understanding of a term’s definition is especially key to or necessary for understanding a particular code provision, the term is shown in italics wherever it appears in the code. 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. Where a term is not defined, such terms shall have the ordinarily accepted meaning. Chapter 3 Use and Occupancy Classification. Chapter 3 provides for the classification of buildings, structures and parts thereof based on the purpose or purposes for which they are used. Section 302 identifies the groups into which all buildings, structures and parts thereof must be classified. Sections 303 through 312 identify the occupancy characteristics of each group classification. In some sections, specific group classifications having requirements in common are collectively organized such that one term applies to all. For example, Groups A-1, A-2, A-3, A-4 and A-5 are individual groups for assembly-type buildings. The general term “Group A,” however, includes each of these individual groups. Other groups include Business (B), Educational (E), Factory (F-1, F-2), High Hazard (H-1, H-2, H-3, H-4, H-5), Institutional (I-1, I- 2, I-3, I-4), Mercantile (M), Residential (R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4), Storage (S-1, S-2) and Utility (U). In some occupancies, the smaller number means a higher hazard, but that is not always the case. Defining the use of the buildings is very important as it sets the tone for the remaining chapters of the code. Occupancy works with the height, area and construction type requirements in Chapters 5 and 6, as well as the special provisions in Chapter 4, to determine “equivalent risk,” or providing a reasonable level of protection or life safety for building occupants. The determination of equivalent risk involves three interdependent considerations: (1) the level of fire hazard associated with the specific occupancy of the facility; (2) the reduction of fire hazard by limiting the floor area and the height of the building based on the fuel load (combustible contents and burnable building components); and (3) the level of overall fire resistance provided by the type of construction used for the building. The greater the potential fire hazards indicated as a function of the group, the lesser the height and area allowances for a particular construction type. Occupancy classification also plays a key part in organizing and prescribing the appropriate protection measures. As such, threshold requirements for fire protection and means of egress systems are based on occupancy classification (see Chapters 9 and 10). Other sections of the code also contain requirements respective to the classification of building groups. For example, Section 706 specifies requirements for fire wall fire-resistance ratings that are tied to the occupancy classification of a building and Section 803.11 contains interior finish requirements that are dependent upon the occupancy classification. The use of the space, rather than the occupancy of the building, is utilized for determining occupant loading (Section 1004) and live loading (Section 1607). Over the useful life of a building, the activities in the building will evolve and change. Where the provisions of the code address uses differently, moving from one activity to another or from one level of activity to another is, by definition, a change of occupancy. The new occupancy must be in compliance with the applicable provisions. Chapter 4 Special Detailed Requirements Based on Use and Occupancy. Chapter 4 X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Meeting 5\Final Attachments\Staff Report - Building Codes Upgrade Meeting 5 - 031622.docx Page 16 of 25 Page 38 of 141  contains the requirements for protecting special uses and occupancies, which are supplemental to the remainder of the code. Chapter 4 contains provisions that may alter requirements found elsewhere in the code; however, the general requirements of the code still apply unless modified within the chapter. For example, the height and area limitations established in Chapter 5 apply to all special occupancies unless Chapter 4 contains height and area limitations. In this case, the limitations in Chapter 4 supersede those in other sections. An example of this is the height and area limitations for open parking garages given in Section 406.5.4, which supersede the limitations given in Sections 504 and 506. In some instances, it may not be necessary to apply the provisions of Chapter 4. For example, if a covered mall building complies with the provisions of the code for Group M, Section 402 does not apply; however, other sections that address a use, process or operation must be applied to that specific occupancy, such as stages and platforms, special amusement buildings and hazardous materials (Sections 410, 411 and 414). The chapter includes requirements for buildings and conditions that apply to one or more groups, such as high-rise buildings, underground buildings or atriums. Special uses may also imply specific occupancies and operations, such as for Group H, hazardous materials, application of flammable finishes, drying rooms, organic coatings and combustible storage or hydrogen fuel gas rooms, all of which are coordinated with the IFC. Unique consideration is taken for special use areas, such as covered mall buildings, motor-vehicle-related occupancies, special amusement buildings and aircraft-related occupancies. Special facilities within other occupancies are considered, such as stages and platforms, motion picture projection rooms, children’s play structures and storm shelters. Finally, in order that the overall package of protection features can be easily understood, unique considerations for specific occupancies are addressed: Groups I-1, I- 2, I-3, R-1, R-2, R-3 and R-4; ambulatory care facilities and live/work units. Chapter 5 General Building Heights and Areas. Chapter 5 contains the provisions that regulate the minimum type of construction for area limits and height limits based on the occupancy of the building. Height and area increases (including allowances for basements, mezzanines and equipment platforms) are permitted based on open frontage for fire department access, separation and the type of sprinkler protection provided (Sections 503-506, 510). These thresholds are reduced for buildings over three stories in height in accordance with Sections 506.2.3 and 506.2.4. Provisions include the protection and/or separation of incidental uses (Table 509), accessory occupancies (Section 508.2) and mixed uses in the same building (Sections 506.2.2, 506.2.4, 508.3, 508.4 and 510). Unlimited area buildings are permitted in certain occupancies when they meet special provisions (Section 507). Tables 504.3, 504.4 and 506.2 are the keystones in setting thresholds for building size based on the building’s use and the materials with which it is constructed. If one then looks at Tables 504.3, 504.4 and 506.2, the relationship among group classification, allowable heights and areas and types of construction becomes apparent. Respective to each group classification, the greater the fire-resistance rating of structural elements, as represented by the type of construction, the greater the floor area and height allowances. The greater the potential fire hazards indicated as a function of the group, the lesser the height and area allowances for a particular construction type. Starting in the 2015 edition, the table that once contained both height and area has been X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Meeting 5\Final Attachments\Staff Report - Building Codes Upgrade Meeting 5 - 031622.docx Page 17 of 25 Page 39 of 141  separated and these three new tables address the topics individually. In addition, the tables list criteria for buildings with and without automatic sprinkler systems. Chapter 6 Types of Construction. The interdependence of these fire safety considerations can be seen by first looking at Tables 601 and 602, which show the fire-resistance ratings of the principal structural elements comprising a building in relation to the five classifications for types of construction. Type I construction is the classification that generally requires the highest fire- resistance ratings for structural elements, whereas Type V construction, which is designated as a combustible type of construction, generally requires the least amount of fire-resistance-rated structural elements. The greater the potential fire hazards indicated as a function of the group, the lesser the height and area allowances for a particular construction type. Section 603 includes a list of combustible elements that can be part of a noncombustible building (Types I and II construction). Chapter 7 Fire and Smoke Protection Features. The provisions of Chapter 7 present the fun- damental concepts of fire performance that all buildings are expected to achieve in some form. This chapter identifies the acceptable materials, techniques and methods by which proposed construction can be designed and evaluated against to determine a building’s ability to limit the impact of fire. The fire-resistance-rated construction requirements within Chapter 7 provide passive resistance to the spread and effects of fire. Types of separations addressed include fire walls, fire barriers, fire partitions, horizontal assemblies, smoke barriers and smoke partitions. A fire produces heat that can weaken structural components and smoke products that cause property damage and place occupants at risk. The requirements of Chapter 7 work in unison with height and area requirements (Chapter 5), active fire detection and suppression systems (Chapter 9) and occupant egress requirements (Chapter 10) to contain a fire should it occur while helping ensure occupants are able to safely exit. Chapter 8 Interior Finishes. This chapter contains the performance requirements for con- trolling fire growth within buildings by restricting interior finish and decorative materials. Past fire experience has shown that interior finish and decorative materials are key elements in the development and spread of fire. The provisions of Chapter 8 require materials used as interior finishes and decorations to meet certain flame-spread index or flame-propagation criteria based on the relative fire hazard associated with the occupancy. As smoke is also a hazard associated with fire, this chapter contains limits on the smoke development characteristics of interior finishes. The performance of the material is evaluated based on test standards. Chapter 9 Fire Protection Systems. Chapter 9 prescribes the minimum requirements for active systems of fire protection equipment to perform the following functions: detect a fire; alert the occupants or fire department of a fire emergency; and control smoke and control or extinguish the fire. Generally, the requirements are based on the occupancy, the height and the area of the building, because these are the factors that most affect fire-fighting capabilities and the relative hazard of a specific building or portion thereof. This chapter parallels and is substantially duplicated in Chapter 9 of the International Fire Code (IFC); however, the IFC Chapter 9 also contains periodic testing criteria that are not contained in the IBC. In addition, the special fire protection system requirements based on use and occupancy found in IBC Chapter 4 are duplicated in IFC Chapter 9 as a user convenience.

The general criteria set forth in Chapter 10 regulating the design of the means of egress are established as the primary method for protection of people in buildings by allowing timely relocation or evacuation of building occupants. Both prescriptive and performance language is utilized in this chapter to provide for a basic approach in the determination of a safe exiting system for all occupancies. It addresses all portions of the egress system (i.e., exit access, exits and exit discharge) and includes design requirements as well as provisions regulating individual components. The requirements detail the size, arrangement, number and protection of means of egress components. Functional and operational characteristics also are specified for the components that will permit their safe use without special knowledge or effort. The means of egress protection requirements work in coordination with other sections of the code, such as protection of vertical openings (see Chapter 7), interior finish (see Chapter 8), fire suppression and detection systems (see Chapter 9) and numerous others, all having an impact on life safety. Chapter 10 of the IBC is duplicated in Chapter 10 of the IFC; however, the IFC contains one additional section on the means of egress system in existing buildings. Chapter 11 Accessibility. Chapter 11 contains provisions that set forth requirements for accessibility of buildings and their associated sites and facilities for people with physical disabilities. The fundamental philosophy of the code on the subject of accessibility is that everything is required to be accessible. This is reflected in the basic applicability requirement (see Section 1103.1). The code’s scoping requirements then address the conditions under which accessibility is not required in terms of exceptions to this general mandate. While the IBC contains scoping provisions for accessibility (for example, what, where and how many), ICC A117.1, Accessible and Usable Buildings and Facilities, is the referenced standard for the technical provisions (in other words, how). There are many accessibility issues that not only benefit people with disabilities, but also provide a tangible benefit to people without disabilities. This type of requirement can be set forth in the code as generally applicable without necessarily identifying it specifically as an accessibility-related issue. Such a requirement would then be considered as having been “mainstreamed.” For example, visible alarms are located in Chapter 9 and accessible means of egress and ramp requirements are addressed in Chapter 10. The International Residential Code (IRC) references Chapter 11 for accessibility provisions; therefore, this chapter may be applicable to housing covered under the IRC. Chapter 12 Interior Environment. Chapter 12 provides minimum standards for the interior environment of a building. The standards address the minimum sizes of spaces, minimum temperature levels, and minimum light and ventilation levels. The collection of requirements addresses limiting sound transmission through walls, ventilation of attic spaces and under floor spaces (crawl spaces). Finally, the chapter provides minimum standards for toilet and bathroom construction, including privacy shielding and standards for walls, partitions and floors to resist water intrusion and damage. Chapter 13 Energy Efficiency. The purpose of Chapter 13 is to provide minimum design X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Meeting 5\Final Attachments\Staff Report - Building Codes Upgrade Meeting 5 - 031622.docx Page 19 of 25 Page 41 of 141  requirements that will promote efficient utilization of energy in buildings. The requirements are directed toward the design of building envelopes with adequate thermal resistance and low air Chapter 14 Exterior Walls. This chapter addresses requirements for exterior walls of buildings. Minimum standards for wall covering materials, installation of wall coverings and the ability of the wall to provide weather protection are provided. This chapter also requires exterior walls that are close to lot lines, or that are bearing walls for certain types of construction, to comply with the minimum fire-resistance ratings specified in Chapters 6 and 7. The installation of each type of wall covering, be it wood, masonry, vinyl, metal composite material or an exterior insulation and finish system, is critical to its long-term performance in protecting the interior of the building from the elements and the spread of fire. Limitations on the use of combustible materials on exterior building elements such as balconies, eaves, decks and architectural trim are also addressed in this chapter. Chapter 15 Roof Assemblies and Rooftop Structures. Chapter 15 provides standards for both roof assemblies and structures that sit on top of the roofs of buildings. The criteria address roof construction and covering, including the weather-protective barrier at the roof and, in most circumstances, a fire-resistant barrier. The chapter is prescriptive in nature and is based on decades of experience with various traditional materials, but it also addresses newer products such as photo-voltaic shingles. These prescriptive rules are very important for satisfying performance of one type of roof covering or another. Section 1510 addresses rooftop structures, including penthouses, tanks, towers and spires. Rooftop penthouses larger than prescribed in this chapter must be treated as a story under Chapter 5. Chapter 16 Structural Design. Chapter 16 prescribes minimum structural loading requirements for use in the design and construction of buildings and structural components. It includes minimum design loads, assignment of risk categories and permitted design methodologies. Standards are provided for minimum design loads (live, dead, snow, wind, rain, flood, ice and earthquake as well as the required load combinations). The application of these loads and adherence to the serviceability criteria will enhance the protection of life and property. The chapter references and relies on many nationally recognized design standards. A key standard is the American Society of Civil Engineers’ Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures (ASCE 7). Structural design must address the conditions of the site and location. Therefore, maps are provided of rainfall, seismic, snow and wind criteria in different regions. Chapter 17 Special Inspections and Tests. Chapter 17 provides a variety of procedures and criteria for testing materials and assemblies, labeling materials and assemblies and special inspection of structural assemblies. This chapter expands on the inspections of Chapter 1 by requiring special inspection where indicated and, in some cases, structural observation. It also spells out additional responsibilities for the owner, contractor, design professionals and special inspectors. Proper assembly of structural components, proper quality of materials used and proper application of materials are essential to ensuring that a building, once constructed, complies with the structural and fire-resistance minimums of the code and the approved design. To determine this compliance often requires continuous or frequent inspection and testing. Chapter 17 establishes standards for special inspection, testing and reporting of the work to the building official. X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Meeting 5\Final Attachments\Staff Report - Building Codes Upgrade Meeting 5 - 031622.docx Page 20 of 25 Page 42 of 141  Chapter 18 Soils and Foundations. Chapter 18 provides criteria for geotechnical and structural considerations in the selection, design and installation of foundation systems to support the loads from the structure above. This chapter includes requirements for soils investigation and site preparation for receiving a foundation, including the allowed load-bearing values for soils and for protecting the foundation from water intrusion. Section 1808 addresses the basic requirements for all foundation types. Later sections address foundation requirements that are specific to shallow foundations and deep foundations. Due care must be exercised in the planning and design of foundation systems based on obtaining sufficient soils information, the use of accepted engineering procedures, experience and good technical judgment. Chapter 19 Concrete. This chapter provides minimum accepted practices for the design and construction of buildings and structural components using concrete—both plain and reinforced. Chapter 19 relies primarily on the reference to American Concrete Institute (ACI) 318, Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete. This chapter also includes references to additional standards. Structural concrete must be designed and constructed to comply with this code and all listed standards. There are specific sections of the chapter addressing concrete slabs, anchorage to concrete and shotcrete. Because of the variable properties of material and numerous design and construction options available in the uses of concrete, due care and control throughout the construction process is necessary. Chapter 20 Aluminum. Chapter 20 contains standards for the use of aluminum in building construction. Only the structural applications of aluminum are addressed. This chapter does not address the use of aluminum in specialty products such as storefront or window framing or architectural hardware. The use of aluminum in heating, ventilating or air-conditioning systems is addressed in the International Mechanical Code (IMC). This chapter references national standards from the Aluminum Association for use of aluminum in building construction, AA ASM 35, Aluminum Sheet Metal Work in Building Construction, and AA ADM 1, Aluminum Design Manual. By utilizing the standards set forth, a proper application of this material can be obtained. Chapter 21 Masonry. This chapter provides comprehensive and practical requirements for masonry construction. The provisions of Chapter 21 require minimum accepted practices and the use of standards for the design and construction of masonry structures. The provisions address: material specifications and test methods; types of wall construction; criteria for engineered and empirical designs; and required details of construction, including the execution of construction. Masonry design methodologies including allowable stress design, strength design and empirical design are covered by provisions of this chapter. Also addressed are masonry fireplaces and chimneys, masonry heaters and glass unit masonry. Fire-resistant construction using masonry is also required to comply with Chapter 7. Masonry foundations are also subject to the requirements of Chapter 18. Chapter 22 Steel. Chapter 22 provides the requirements necessary for the design and construction of structural steel (including composite construction), cold-formed steel, steel joists, steel cable structures and steel storage racks. This chapter specifies appropriate design and construction standards for these types of structures. It also provides a road map of the applicable X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Meeting 5\Final Attachments\Staff Report - Building Codes Upgrade Meeting 5 - 031622.docx Page 21 of 25 Page 43 of 141  technical requirements for steel structures. Because steel is a noncombustible building material, it is commonly associated with Types I and II construction; however, it is permitted to be used in all types of construction. Chapter 22 requires that the design and use of steel materials be in accordance with the specifications and standards of the American Institute of Steel Construction, the American Iron and Steel Institute, the Steel Joist Institute and the American Society of Civil Engineers. Chapter 23 Wood. This chapter provides minimum requirements for the design of buildings and structures that use wood and wood-based products. The chapter is organized around three design methodologies: allowable stress design (ASD), load and resistance factor design (LRFD) and conventional light-frame construction. Included in this chapter are references to design and manufacturing standards for various wood and wood-based products; general construction requirements; design criteria for lateral force-resisting systems and specific requirements for the application of the three design methods. In general, only Type III, IV or V buildings may be constructed of wood. Chapter 24 Glass and Glazing. This chapter establishes regulations for glass and glazing that, when installed in buildings and structures, are subjected to wind, snow and dead loads. Engineering and design requirements are included in the chapter. Additional structural requirements are found in Chapter 16. Another concern of this chapter is glass and glazing used in areas where it is likely to be impacted by the occupants. Section 2406 identifies hazardous locations where glazing installed must either be safety glazing or blocked to prevent human impact. Safety glazing must meet stringent standards and be appropriately marked or identified. Additional requirements are provided for glass and glazing in guards, handrails, elevator hoistways and elevator cars, as well as in athletic facilities. Chapter 25 Gypsum Board, Gypsum Panel Products and Plaster. Chapter 25 contains the provisions and referenced standards that regulate the design, construction and quality of gypsum board, gypsum panel products and plaster. It also addresses reinforced gypsum concrete. These represent the most common interior and exterior finish materials in the building industry. This chapter primarily addresses quality-control-related issues with regard to material specifications and installation requirements. Most products are manufactured under the control of industry standards. The building official or inspector primarily needs to verify that the appropriate product is used and properly installed for the intended use and location. While often simply used as wall and ceiling coverings, proper design and application are necessary to provide weather resistance and required fire protection for both structural and nonstructural building components. Chapter 26 Plastic. The use of plastics in building construction and components is addressed in Chapter 26. This chapter provides standards addressing foam plastic insulation, foam plastics used as interior finish and trim, and other plastic veneers used on the inside or outside of a building. Plastic siding is regulated by Chapter 14. Sections 2606 through 2611 address the use of light-transmitting plastics in various configurations such as walls, roof panels, skylights, signs and as glazing. Requirements for the use of fiber-reinforced polymers, fiberglass-reinforced polymers and reflective plastic core insulation are also contained in this chapter. Additionally, requirements specific to the use of wood-plastic composites and plastic lumber are contained in this chapter. X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Meeting 5\Final Attachments\Staff Report - Building Codes Upgrade Meeting 5 - 031622.docx Page 22 of 25 Page 44 of 141  Some plastics exhibit rapid flame spread and heavy smoke density characteristics when exposed to fire. Exposure to the heat generated by a fire can cause some plastics to deform, which can affect their performance. The requirements and limitations of this chapter are necessary to control the use of plastic and foam plastic products such that they do not compromise the safety of building occupants. Chapter 27 Electrical. Since electrical systems and components are an integral part of almost all structures, it is necessary for the code to address the installation of such systems. For this purpose, Chapter 27 references the National Electrical Code (NEC). In addition, Section 2702 addresses emergency and standby power requirements. Such systems must comply with the International Fire Code (IFC) and referenced standards. This section also provides references to the various code sections requiring emergency and standby power, such as high-rise buildings and buildings containing hazardous materials. Chapter 28 Mechanical Systems. Nearly all buildings will include mechanical systems. This chapter provides references to the International Mechanical Code (IMC) and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) for the design and installation of mechanical systems. In addition, Chapter 21 of this code is referenced for masonry chimneys, fireplaces and barbecues. Chapter 29 Plumbing Systems. Chapter 29 regulates the minimum number of plumbing fix- tures that must be provided for every type of building. This chapter also regulates the location of the required fixtures in various types of buildings. This section requires separate facilities for males and females except for certain types of small occupancies. The regulations in this chapter come directly from Chapters 3 and 4 of the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Chapter 30 Elevators and Conveying Systems. Chapter 30 provides standards for the installation of elevators into buildings. Referenced standards provide the requirements for the elevator system and mechanisms. Detailed standards are provided in the chapter for hoistway enclosures, machine rooms and requirements for sizing of elevators. Beginning in the 2015 edition pf this code, the elevator lobby requirements were moved from Chapter 7 to Chapter 30 to pull all the elevator related construction requirements together. New provisions were added in the 2009 edition for fire service access elevators required in high-rise buildings and for the optional choice of occupant evacuation elevators (see Section 403). Chapter 31 Special Construction. Chapter 31 contains a collection of regulations for a variety of unique structures and architectural features. Pedestrian walkways and tunnels connecting two buildings are addressed in Section 3104. Membrane and air-supported structures are addressed by Section 3102. Safeguards for swimming pool safety are addressed by way of reference to the International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC) in Section 3109. Standards for temporary structures, including permit requirements, are provided in Section 3103. Structures as varied as awnings, marquees, signs, telecommunication and broadcast towers and automatic vehicular gates are also addressed (see Sections 3105 through 3108 and 3110). Chapter 32 Encroachments into the Public Right-of-way. Buildings and structures from time to time are designed to extend over a property line and into the public right-of-way. Local regulations outside of the building code usually set limits to such encroachments, and such X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Meeting 5\Final Attachments\Staff Report - Building Codes Upgrade Meeting 5 - 031622.docx Page 23 of 25 Page 45 of 141  regulations take precedence over the provisions of this chapter. Standards are provided for encroachments below grade for structural support, vaults and areaways. Encroachments above grade are divided into below 8 feet, 8 feet to 15 feet, and above 15 feet, because of headroom and vehicular height issues. This includes steps, columns, awnings, canopies, marquees, signs, windows and balconies. Similar architectural features above grade are also addressed. Pedestrian walkways must also comply with Chapter 31. Chapter 33 Safeguards During Construction. Chapter 33 provides safety requirements during construction and demolition of buildings and structures. These requirements are intended to protect the public from injury and adjoining property from damage. In addition the chapter provides for the progressive installation and operation of exit stairways and standpipe systems during construction. Chapter 34 Reserved. During the 2015 code change cycle the membership voted to delete Chapter 34, Existing Structures, from this code and reference the International Existing Building Code (IEBC)®. The provisions that were in Chapter 34 will appear in the IEBC. Sections 3402 through 3411 appear as IEBC Chapter 4 and Section 3412 as Chapter 14. Chapter 35 Referenced Standards. The code contains numerous references to standards that are used to regulate materials and methods of construction. Chapter 35 contains a comprehensive list of all standards that are referenced in the code, including the appendices. The standards are part of the code to the extent of the reference to the standard (see Section 102.4). Compliance with the referenced standard is necessary for compliance with this code. By providing specifically adopted standards, the construction and installation requirements necessary for compliance with the code can be readily determined. The basis for code compliance is, therefore, established and available on an equal basis to the building official, contractor, designer and owner. Chapter 35 is organized in a manner that makes it easy to locate specific standards. It lists all of the referenced standards, alphabetically, by acronym of the promulgating agency of the standard. Each agency’s standards are then listed in either alphabetical or numeric order based upon the standard identification. The list also contains the title of the standard; the edition (date) of the standard referenced; any addenda included as part of the ICC adoption; and the section or sections of this code that reference the standard.

The information provided comes from a variety of sources, including: • International Fire Code 2012, 2015 and 2018 editions. Additions and deletions of code sections within each publication are identified in the margin adjacent to or between code sections. • International Code Council seminars on International Fire Code updates. • Evaluations performed by other municipalities if available. Items determined to have greater impact on the maintenance of existing buildings and properties within the Village are highlighted in yellow. 2012, 2015 and 2018 International Fire Code Code Amendment Cost Impact Description Year New, Change or Decrease Addition. Increase Unknown 2012 Change N/A Several medical care definitions were created and revised in Chapter 2 of the 2012 IBC, as well as through the occupancy descriptions, and those have been repeated in the 2012 IFC. These terms were created to help users of the code know how to assign an occupancy and determine which code requirements are applicable based on how the patient is cared for. 2012 Change N/A Section 307.1.1 now prohibits open burning when circumstances make it hazardous, not just when someone finds it offensive. 2012 New N/A Section 317 introduces new requirements for roof gardens and landscaped roofs. This becomes important as the presence of roof gardens or landscaped roofs can affect fire fighter ability to move around the roof and conduct operations. 2012 Change N/A Section 503.4.1 now prohibits traffic calming devices on fire apparatus access roads unless approved by the fire code official. This will result in the need for greater communication between fire staff and planning staff. 2012 Change N/A Section 506.1 and 607 require elevator key boxes to be provided, and require standard elevator keys that can be used in multiple elevators regardless of manufacturer. All elevator key types in the jurisdiction will now be uniform. This speeds up Fire Dept access and creates consistency. 2012 Change N/a Section 508.1.5 now requires a building information card for any building with a fire command center. Any high-rise or building with smoke protected seating has a fire command center. As a result of the World Trade Center study, it was determined that a quick concise Building Information Card (BIC) was necessary to provide critical information about the systems and locations of the systems within large, complicated buildings X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Meeting 5\Final Attachments\Attachment IFC-4 - Major Changes.docx Page 1 of 6 Page 79 of 141  in order to speed up fire personnel response. 2012 Change Increase Section 510.1 now houses the information on emergency responder radio coverage that was previously only in Appendix J. It is now in the body of the code and required for all new buildings. The appendix had it in both new and existing buildings which occasionally caused conflicts with other systems. A new exception in the new section provides for that inevitability. 2012 Change Increase Section 604.5 now requires building owners to conduct a test of the emergency lighting equipment at regular intervals, and submit the test results to the Fire Department upon request. 2012 Change N/A Section 605.11 introduces solar photovoltaic power systems into the IFC, and the 2015 edition clarifies and coordinates it with the IBC and the NEC and adds ground mounted array requirements. Among the many new requirements in the 2012 are access paths on roofs around solar arrays. Note that these new requirements do not apply to IRC structures like they do to R-3 occupancies. Solar arrays present many hazards to Fire Fighters due to the panels generating current during daylight and they can’t be shut off. 2012 New N/A Section 610 is a new section regarding kitchen cooking oil storage. Many kitchens are now recapturing cooking oil to save costs. The inherent dangers of large quantities of oil near electricity and flame require safety provisions. 2012 New N/A Section 803.5.2 adds new requirements for new textile wall and ceiling coverings. 2012 New N/A Section 901.9 adds a new requirement that a fire code official must be notified when an alarm monitoring service is either terminated or changed. This will require staff to keep a record of such notifications, and determine if they have staff time to keep track of this information and subsequent follow-ups. 2012 Change Decrease Section 903.2.4, 903.2.7, 903.2.9 modifies and relaxes the furniture storage protection provisions that arrived in the 2009 code. Those were difficult to enforce and now allow small stores to provide upholstered furniture and mattresses without sprinklers. 2012 Change Increase Section 903.2.11.1.3 modifies the requirement for basements such that any basement that has interior obstructions must be sprinkled. This could be difficult to enforce since any partition under 5’ 9” does not need a permit. Therefore, the placement of a bookshelf or a urinal partition could be interpreted that a sprinkler system is required. 2012 Change Increase Section 904.1.1 and 906.3 now require that personnel who perform maintenance on portable fire extinguishers or alternative fire-extinguishing systems (such as hoods and spray booths) must be certified by the jurisdiciton or other approved organization. The jurisdiction may have to consider what certifications they will require, and if they will have staff to keep records of that. 2012 Change Increase Section 906.1 requires more portable fire extinguishers (PFE’s) in some commercial occupancies, and allows fewer PFE’s in common areas of apartment/condo buildings if one is placed in each of the units. (Consideration needs to be given to whether X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Meeting 5\Final Attachments\Attachment IFC-4 - Major Changes.docx Page 2 of 6 Page 80 of 141  those PFE’s in the units will stay there like they would in the common areas, but alternatively if those in the common areas are getting vandalized or are too big for elderly to operate. 2012 New N/A Section 907.2.1.2 adds new requirements for mass emergency notification to be captioned in assembly spaces seating 15,000 or more, in keeping with the wording of the IBC. 2012 Change Increase Section 907.2.3 modified requirements for a voice/alarm communication system from 50 students down to 30 (for lock- down purposes). Depending on interpretation, this may affect mobile classroom buildings at this new lower level. 2012 Change N/A Section 907.2.6.1.1 now allows fire alarm and detection systems and wireless smoke alarms to be installed in buildings regulated by the IFC and the IRC. 2012 Change N/A Section 908.7 now requires carbon monoxide alarms for Group R and I occupancies with fuel burning appliances or attached garages in new and existing buildings. 2015 edition now relocates these to section 915 since they are not an emergency alarm, and rewrites it, adding the requirement to classrooms in Group E. The retroactive aspect doesn’t apply to the Group E. 2012 Change Unknown Section 1011.2 now requires low level exit signs again in Group R-1 buildings, similar to the requirements of years ago. This helps not only occupants, but also firemen who arrive when there is already smoke in the building. 2012 Change N/A Chapter 11 is the new location for the existing building chapter, and provides one location for all retroactive requirements. 2012 Change Increase Section 1103.8.1 adds I-1 to the retroactive requirement for smoke alarms in existing Group R occupancies. 2012 Change Increase Section 1104.16.5.1 adds a new requirement that fire escape stairs must be inspected by a registered design professional every 5 years and a report submitted to the Fire Department. 2012 Change Decrease Section 2108.2 allows dry cleaning plants using Class III-A or Class III-B combustible liquids in non-sprinklered buildings when certain safety precautions are made. 2012 Change Unknown Section 2305.1 revises several tank requirements regarding 100% bio- diesel motor vehicle fuel. 2012 Change N/A Section 3208.3.1 now requires racking of certain commodities to have devices that protect the flue spaces from being compromised by overloading the racks. This helps the coverage by the sprinkler system to be more effective. 2012 Change Increase 2012 Table 5003.1.1(1) takes the guess work out of combustible dusts, and requires a professional evaluation of it to be given to the Fire Department. This has historically been a judgment call that can be outside of the specific background of the fire code official. 2012 Change N/A Section 5003.12 now allows outdoor control areas for hazardous storage to be built closer to lot lines streets and public ways with certain protections. 2012 Change Increase Section 6109.15 now provides regulations for design, operation and maintenance of LP cylinder exchange stations that are accessible to the public. 2012 Change Increase Section 6104.3.1 no longer allows LP gas containers on the roof of buildings like NFPA 58 allows. 2012 Change N/A Appendix J is an optional new chapter that offers a method of presenting building information to emergency responders using X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Meeting 5\Final Attachments\Attachment IFC-4 - Major Changes.docx Page 3 of 6 Page 81 of 141  a standardized Maltese Cross format. Basic information regarding the building fire protection systems is available there for responders to review prior to commencing an attack. 2015 New Unknown Section 312.3 now provides performance criteria for vehicle barriers instead of prescriptive design that was missing an impact velocity. 2015 Change Increase Sections 315.6 and 605.12 now give Firefighters specific wording to require removal of old wiring in plenums and any storage there that might cause more fuel load or cause a ceiling to collapse due to weight. 2015 Change N/A Section 403 has moved all the emergency preparedness requirements from 404 and 408 into one place for easier access to all of it in one place. The change was not intended to be technical, only an editorial location change for ease of use. 2015 Change N/A Section 604.1 has added specific requirements on Emergency and Standby Power Systems that were previously located in the IBC. This criteria is now all in one spot, and is more readily available to Fire Staff here than it was in Chapter 27 of the IBC. 2015 Change N/A Section 604.2.6 now includes additional requirements for emergency and standby power systems in Group I-2 Occupancies. 2015 Change Decrease Section 609.2 modifies the requirement for when a Type 1 Kitchen hood is required, and makes it consistent with the IMC. When it is proven that grease emissions are low enough, a simple Type II hood would be allowed, and no fire extinguishing system would be required. 2015 Change Increase Section 609.3.3.2 now adds a cleaning standard for kitchen exhaust hoods, and requires a hood with any spot check showing over an 1/8” of grease to be cleaned and a record of cleaning kept on the hood. 2015 Change Unknown Section 611 adds new requirements on how to deal with Hyperbaric facilities (usually found in hospitals). 2015 Change Increase Section 903.2.1.6 adds a requirement for sprinklers on levels between the roof and the exit discharge where an occupied roof has high assembly loads. 2015 Change Increase Sections 903.3.1.2.2, 1027.6 and 1104.22 now clarify that open ended corridors (breezeways) must be protected when part of a 13R sprinkler system. 2015 Change Increase Section 903.3.8 adjusts requirements for limited area sprinkler systems from 20 heads to 6, and prevents multiple such systems. 2015 Change Unknown Section 904.13 now allows residential cooking facilities in Group I-2 nursing homes with certain precautions and requirements for their safety. 2015 Change N/A Section 907.2.11.3 and 907.2.11.4 now require placement of smoke alarms to be at least 3’ from a bathroom door, and specific distances from cooking appliances based on the type of alarm. 2015 Change Increase Section 913.2.2 has added protection of the electrical circuit supplying power to Fire Pumps by including a UL standard that will add fire resistivity to the cables. 2015 Change N/A Chapter 10 has been completely rewritten in the IBC and the new IFC matches that, with many familiar sections now being contained in new and unfamiliar places. In general, previous X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Meeting 5\Final Attachments\Attachment IFC-4 - Major Changes.docx Page 4 of 6 Page 82 of 141  sections 1015 and 1021 were moved near the front in order to provide a logical and sequential order of thought such as: 1004, determine the occupant load; 1005, establish the exit width; 1006, establish the number of exits; 1007, address how to arrange them. This pushes the other sections that they replaced back further. 2015 Change N/A Section 1010.1.9.8 clarifies the confusing language of delayed egress, electromagnetic locks and introduces “sensor release of electrically locked” egress doors and adds I-1 to the provisions. Several of these neighboring sections have undergone changes that hope to clarify application that for years has been confusing. 2015 Change Unknown Section 903.2.1.7 now clarifies that if multiple group A occupancies exist that don’t require sprinklers based on individual occupant loads, yet they use the same exit system, the occupant loads using the same exit system must be combined to determine if sprinklers are required. 2015 Change Unknown Section 903.3.1.1.1 introduces the concept of machine room- less elevator control areas and how those are to be protected. This newer technology has not been specified before but is seen in many buildings. 2015 Change Unknown Section 904.2 and 904.11 add in the increasingly common use of Automatic Water Mist Systems and how those are to be regulated. 2015 Change Decrease Section 907.2.3 changes the threshold for a manual fire alarm system from 30 to 50 to allow small schools and day-care facilities to be exempt since the risk is small and there is close visual/audible contact. 2015 Change Unknown Section 909.4.7 has added the requirement to have multiple smoke control system designs evaluated for how they will work together. This reduces the inevitability that the systems are discovered to be incompatible by the inspector at final inspection. 2015 Change Unknown Section 910 on smoke and heat vents has been extensively rewritten based on studies of roof venting. Details of where they are required and how to calculate the sizes are now included. 2015 Change Unknown Section 1103.4.1 requires existing I-2 and I-3’s with vertical openings through 2 or more stories between floors to meet certain retroactive protection requirements. 2015 New Unknown Section 1105 introduces a new requirement that existing I-2 occupancies must reach a minimum fire and life safety level described there. 2015 Change N/A Section 1011.16 adds the ability to use ladders as a means of egress in certain special needs and locations and explains how to construct them. 2015 Change Unknown Section 1017.2.2 increases travel distance in certain F-1 and S-1 occupancies to 400’ providing there are other safety factors involved. 2015 Change N/A Section 1018.3 and 1018.5 coordinates access aisles with corridor requirements rather than being based only on the occupant load of the room served. 2015 Change Decrease Section 1020.2 allows certain corridors in the I-2 to be exempt from the 96” width requirement if not being used for stretchers. X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Meeting 5\Final Attachments\Attachment IFC-4 - Major Changes.docx Page 5 of 6 Page 83 of 141  This may involve some judgment as to how the corridors will be used in certain places, but now will agree with NFPA 101 section 18.2.3.4 as part of a desire to coordinate the codes. 2015 Change Decrease Section 1023.3.1 now allows a vertical exit enclosure to be connected to a passageway without the connecting door previously required. This door served no purpose anyway, and was another obstruction to fire-fighting efforts. 2015 New Increase Section 2307.4 introduces new requirements for LP gas dispensing by the public. 2015 Change Increase Section 3103.9.1 now requires tents and membrane structures over one story to meet the structural design requirements of the IBC. 2015 Change Increase Section 3105 adds requirements for temporary stage canopies that have suffered serious collapses in recent years in North America. 2015 Change N/A Section 3206.4.1 relocates the requirements and modifies the standards and rules regarding plastic pallets. 2015 New Unknown Section 3306.2 adds safety requirements for flammable gas piping and an NFPA standard to govern their cleaning and purging. There have been several deaths from improper cleaning and purging. 2015 New Unknown Section 3510 introduces how hot work on flammable and combustible liquid storage tanks shall be carried out. 2015 New Unknown Section 5307 adds regulations for large carbon dioxide systems used in beverage dispensing. Large refrigerated systems can create a life safety hazard resulting in oxygen being replaced in a room, thus the need for this regulation. 2015 New Unknown Section 5808 provides new requirements for the onset of hydrogen fuel gas rooms on the market. The requirements are related to the new definition in chapter 2 of a gaseous hydrogen system. 2015 New Increase Appendix K is an optional new chapter to handle existing Ambulatory Care Facilities. It contains retroactive requirements for those existing facilities in response to the many recent changes in the 2012 edition regarding health care occupancies. 2015 New Unknown Appendix L is an optional new chapter that considers criteria when providing fire fighter air replenishment systems for fire fighters in buildings as they fight fires. It does not say when it is required, only how to do it if it is required. 2015 New Increase Appendix M is an optional new chapter that if adopted, requires all existing high-rises to be retroactively outfitted with a fire sprinkler system within a 12-year time frame.

These provisions provide a piece meal approach to requiring fire sprinklers in existing buildings. Most often, the value of hard cost becomes the determining threshold amount. In almost every case where the applicant is notified that the hard cost exceeds the threshold, the applicant submits a revised estimate of hard cost that is below the threshold. The department experienced a similar condition under the previous fee schedule where applicants would regularly report the hard cost at a lower than actual value to avoid a higher permit fee. That situation was resolved by revising permit fees to lump sums based on project scope. The proposed amendment to add Section 1103.5.9 to the Fire Code takes a holistic approach in determining when fire sprinklers would be required and mitigates the undervaluing of project hard cost. By considering the actual work areas versus the threshold areas for additions, alterations, and remodeling projects, plus the hard cost versus the threshold cost, the overall effect of the work is considered in determining the need to install fire sprinklers. A Modification Factor is determined for each project. When the calculated factor is greater than 2.0, fire sprinklers would be required. In the case of existing buildings with smaller footprints the Modification Factor, without adjustment, would cause smaller buildings to be sprinklered whereas mush larger ones would not necessarily be required as the ratio of proposed addition square footage to the existing building square footage can easily be much higher than for buildings with larger initial footprints. Therefore, it is proposed that buildings with an existing footprint of 1,500 square feet or less be exempt from the application of the Modification Factor. A sampling of projects that were permitted in 2021 was performed to determine the effect of the proposed amendment. Per the chart below, of the nine projects reported, two would have been required to install fire sprinklers; however, one of those two would be exempt due to the existing footprint being less than 1,500 square feet.

This justifies the intent to not penalize smaller existing homes where the proposed addition floor area may be less than larger homes not requiring fire sprinklers, yet the the ratio of proposed to existing floor area is higher.

Children's play structures are now regulated by a new standalone section 424 instead of being limited to covered mall buildings in Section 402. ICC took a broader application of this section and was revised extensively, but NFPA 289 is now offered as an alternative testing standard to UL 1975 for foam plastics. An additional separation requirement from building walls, partitions and from elements of the means of egress of 5 feet was added. 2012 506.2 Building Heights and Areas. The method of calculating the appropriate allowable area increase for buildings which front public ways and other open space has Building Code. 2012 402 Open Malls. The trend to create large-scale projects resembling covered mall buildings without roofs over pedestrian circulation areas was addressed in this new section. Open malls have the benefit of openness, which reduces the hazards from smoke during a fire. The provisions for covered mall buildings X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Meeting 5\Final Attachments\Attachment IBC-4 - Major Changes.docx Page 1 of 19 Page 123 of 141  were extended to open mall buildings throughout Section 402. 2012 509 incidental Uses. Accessory occupancies are now designated 'incidental uses' and are regulated separately under a new Section 509. The mixed occupancy requirements are no longer applicable. 2012 712 and 713 Vertical Openings. The shaft enclosure provisions were relocated to Section 712 and 713 and reorganized to place emphasis on the presence of vertical openings rather than on shaft enclosures. Change was made recognizing that the use of shaft enclosures is just one of many acceptable protective measures that can be utilized to address the hazards related to vertical openings. 2012 803.12 Interior finishes. Now specifically addresses polypropylene plastic and requires that this material be tested using the room corner test (NFPA 2864) versus the typical Steiner tunnel test foe a more accurate evaluation of the flame spread hazards for this type of plastic. 2012 Increase 903 Automatic Sprinkler systems Group F-1. Sprinklers were required throughout buildings containing mercantile occupancies of any size that sell upholstered furniture in the 2009 code. In the 2012 IBC, the scope has been expanded to include mattresses, but is limited only to buildings where a Group M (903.2.7) occupancy of greater than 5000 square feet (700 m2) sells or displays upholstered furniture and mattresses. Sprinklers are also now required for Group S-1 (903.2.9) and F-1 (903.2.4) occupancies over 2500 square feet that store or manufacture upholstered furniture or mattresses. 2012 Decrease 906 Fire extinguishers. Fire extinguishers was removed from the code for new and existing Group A, B and E occupancies equipped throughout with quick- response sprinklers. A new exception was added specific to Group R-2 occupancies that instead provide a portable fire extinguisher having a minimum rating of 1-A:10-B:C in each dwelling unit. X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Meeting 5\Final Attachments\Attachment IBC-4 - Major Changes.docx Page 2 of 19 Page 124 of 141 2012 Increase 907 Fire Alarms. The requirement for an emergency voice communication system for Group E occupancies was added, this system replaces the traditional occupant notification system and activation is manual versus automatic. Manual fire alarm systems in Group E occupancies went from greater than 50 occupants to greater than 30 occupants. 2012 1108.2.7.3 Emergency voice communication system. Emergency voice communication system messages in stadiums, arenas and grandstands are required to be captioned, is only required when there are more than 15,000 seats now requires the captioning of audible public announcements. 2012 No Change - 908 Carbon Monoxide. Requirements for carbon Mimics State monoxide detectors in all residential (Group R) and Requirements institutional (Group I) occupancies was added to the IBC, applies to new construction ( and a similar requirement was added into the International Fire Code, Section 1103.9, to deal with existing buildings. These provisions are consistent with requirements in the International Residential Code for carbon monoxide detectors in all new construction of one- and two-family dwellings. 2012 No Change 1001.4 Fire and evacuation plans. Plans shall be provided for all occupancies and buildings as required by the IFC. 2012 1005 Means of Egress capacity determination. The reduced egress width factors for sprinklered buildings that had been in the 2000 through 2006 IBC, but were removed in the 2009 edition, have been reintroduced. The exceptions allow for use of reduced exit width for sprinklered buildings, but only where an emergency voice/communications alarm system (EVCAS) is provided for the building. 2012 1007 Accessible means of agrees.

Also, Section 510.2(5) permits any occupancy, except Group H, below the horizontal separation. (See also the table entry under IBC Section 903.3.1.2 for further information on podium design) 2015 New Unknown 602.4 Cross-Laminated Timber Use in Construction Type IV. Revisions allow the use of fire-retardant- treated lumber, cross-laminated timber and glued- laminated plank in specific applications. 2015 New Unknown 703.2.4 Fire-Resistance Ratings and Fire Tests: Supplemental Features. When a listed fire resistance assembly is modified, sufficient data shall be made available to the code official to show that the required fire resistance rating is not reduced. 2015 Major Unknown 705.2 “Projections,” 705.2.3 “Combustible Change Projections” Table 705.2, “Minimum Distance of Projections,” was modified and simplified and now requires an increase in the separation required between the leading edge of a building’s projection and the property line (or fire separation distance line). Section 705.2.3 was simplified and requires added protection where a combustible projection is within 5’ of a property line (or FSD). 2015 New Decrease 705.3 Exception #2 “Buildings on the Same Lot” Permits a parking garage of Construction Type I or IIA to abut a Group R-2 building with 1½- hour protected openings (fire doors) in the abutting exterior wall of the garage and no required opening protective(s) in the abutting wall of a sprinklered R-2 building. Previous editions of the Code did not permit any openings in these abutting exterior walls that are at a “0” fire separation distance apart and required a fire wall design between such buildings to be permitted to have openings between the abutting buildings.

Change Exterior fire-rated walls that are braced by floor or roof assemblies that have a lesser fire resistance rating are now permitted. Previous editions of the IBC Code required Construction Type III buildings with two -hour fire-rated exterior walls to have floors that support the two-hour fire-rated exterior walls to be upgraded to the two-hour fire rating. This is a major cost since apartment buildings built of Construction Type III under the legacy codes only required one-hour floor and roof assemblies to support the two-hour fire-rated exterior walls. 2015 Clarification Decrease 707.5 Exception 2 “Fire Barriers–Continuity” Clarifies that the walls of an interior exit stairway do not need to extend through the attic space to the underside of the roof deck if the ceiling of the stairway terminates with a fire-rated top enclosure complying with Section 713.12. I 2015 Revision Decrease 2015 BC 714.4.2 Exception 7 “Membrane Penetration” This exception was new in the IBC (Section 714.4.1.2 Exception #7) and allowed for a practical application of the code in circumstances where wood-framed walls extend up to and attach directly to the underside of joist/trusses floor and roof fire rated assemblies. It was further modified to permit the wood framed walls to be sheathed solely with Type X gypsum wallboard in lieu of being a fire resistance rated wall assembly. 2015 New Decrease 903.2.1.6 “Assembly Occupancies on Roof” Code now addresses how to deal with assembly occupancies on the roof of a building. When the occupant load > 100 for Group A-2 (i.e., restaurant), or > 300 for other Group A (i.e., meeting rooms, swimming pools) all floors to, and including, level of exit discharge are required to be sprinklered per NFPA 13 or NFPA 13R, as applicable. Since all new Group R occupancies are already required to be sprinklered, this new requirement is a good clarification of the Code for such common assembly occupancies that are to be located on the roofs of new apartment projects. Note that there is an exception to this sprinkler requirement for open parking garages of Construction Type I or Type II. X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Meeting 5\Final Attachments\Attachment IBC-4 - Major Changes.docx Page 6 of 19 Page 128 of 141 2015 Revision Decrease 903.2.11.3 “Automatic Sprinkler Systems – Where Required- Buildings 55’ or More in Height” This revision clarified that the 55’ is measured from the lowest level of fire department vehicle access to the finished floor level of the highest floor with an occupant load of ≥ 30. Exceptions are provided for open parking garages and F-2 occupancies. 2015 Clarification Decrease 903.3.1.2 “Installation Requirements NFPA 13R Sprinkler Systems” Section was revised to correlate with the scope of the 2013 NFPA 13R Standard. This should help prevent any misapplication of the sprinkler standards that apply to “…Group R occupancies up to and including four stories in height in buildings not exceeding 60 feet in height above grade plane…”. The new second paragraph in this section clarifies that the number of stories of Group R occupancies above a podium or pedestal designed structure (see Section 510.4) is measured from the fire-rated horizontal separation that creates separate buildings. By default, this new second paragraph under the NFPA 13R requirements is also applicable to the number of stories of Group R occupancies above a podium structure when the entire structure is sprinklered per NFPA 13. For example, an R-2 occupancy of Construction Type IIIA, sprinklered per NFPA 13, can be five stories above the Type IA pedestal below as long as the overall building height from grade plane does not exceed 85 feet (IBC Table 504.3) 2015 New Decrease 1011.12 Exception “Stairway to Roof” For stairways in buildings ≥ four stories above grade plane that do not have an occupied roof or elevator equipment on the roof, access to the roof does not need to be by one of the stairways in the building. It can be provided by an alternating tread device, a ship’s ladder or a permanent ladder. 2015 New Decrease 1011.16 “Ladders” New section with specific requirements for permanent ladders. Such ladders cannot serve as a part of the means of egress from occupied spaces within a building. 2015 New Decrease 1016.2(1) “Egress through Intervening Spaces,” 3006.4 Means of Egress” Exit access is permitted through an enclosed elevator lobby that leads to at least one of the required exits. Exit access to not less than one of X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Meeting 5\Final Attachments\Attachment IBC-4 - Major Changes.docx Page 7 of 19 Page 129 of 141  the other required exits shall be provided without travel through the enclosed elevator lobby. 2015 New Decrease 1023.3.1 Exception 2 “Interior Exit Stairway Extension” An exit stairway does not require a door at the stairway opening into an exit passageway if the exit passageway has no other openings into it from the building. 2015 New Decrease 1107.4 Exceptions 3 and 4 “Accessible Route” Exceptions added to exempt, in certain cases, accessible stories and mezzanines in buildings with Group R-2 units or dormitories if accessibility is provided to other facilities. 2015 Deletion Decrease Section 3004 “Hoistway Venting” Deleted Hoistway venting requirements have been deleted from the since they were antiquated and wasted building energy. 2015 New None 2015 903.3.1.2.2 “Open-Ended Corridors” This new section was added to the sprinkler requirements just to clarify that when applying the open- ended corridor (i.e., open breezeway) sprinkler requirements of Section 1027.6 Exception 3.1 to a building sprinklered in accordance with NFPA 13R, it is the intent of the IBC Code to also require the open-ended corridors and its associated exterior stairs to be sprinklered when using Exception 3 of Section 1027.6. 2015 Revision None 1006.2.1, Exception 1, Table 1006.3.2(1) and 1006.3.2 Single Exits in Buildings It is permitted for multiple dwelling units, in groups of four units or less per floor, to have access to a single means of egress. The change also reflects the revised travel distance for single exit design allowing a maximum common path of egress travel distance of 125 feet. 2015 Revision None - 915 908.7 Carbon Monoxide (CO) Detection. A CO Mimics State alarm is to be installed outside of each separate Requirements sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms in R-2 occupancies that have fuel-burning appliances/fireplaces and/or attached private garages.

Revisions reduced the number of sprinklers from 20 to six that can be used on a “limited area sprinkler system” in any single fire area. In addition, it now requires hydraulic calculations to be done to show that these sprinklers that are piped off the domestic water supply can control a fire. 2015 New Increase Chapter 17 “Special Inspections and Tests” New Provision and Revised Increase New requirements for special testing have been added detailing specific requirements that must be complied with when special inspection is required. Requirements for inspection of specific materials have been modified or added. 2018 Clarification None Definitions. All definitions are now italicized and located into a single location, Chapter 2. 2018 New None Definitions. New definitions include “Greenhouse” and “Repair garage”.
