Minutes - BBA Meeting 011922 Page 4 of 94 DRAFT MINUTES BUILDING BOARD OF APPEALS MEETING January 19, 2022 Call to Order and Roll Call The meeting was called to order at 7:02 p.m. by Building Board of Appeals (BBA) Chairperson Thomas Bredfeldt. Roll was called. Present: Chairperson Tom Bredfeldt, BBA Members Brian Beck, Christopher Clark, Robert Stahr and Barrington Pope. Absent: BBA Members Matthew Rooney and Thomas Tuscher. Public Comment Non-Agenda Items There was no public comment pertaining to non-agenda items. Approval of Minutes Following a motion by BBA Member Beck, seconded by Member Clark, draft minutes of the December 15, 2021 meeting were approved as submitted, by voice vote, with Robert Stahr abstaining because he did not attend the December 15th meeting. Old Business Village Building and Zoning Official Steve Witt said that, due to Staffing issues, he had no update on the Community Listening Session, but intends to have comments gathered to share at the next BBA meeting. New Business Mr. Witt provided the following resubmittal of proposed changes to the International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC) that were brought to the Board at the December 15th meeting: • Regarding whether an “administrative warrant” or “search warrant” should be sought in seeking to enter a building to verify conditions, the Village Attorney Greg Matthews didn’t believe an administrative judge could issue a warrant that would allow entry to a structure, hence “search warrant” is the term needed. • Regarding language referencing landscaping/fences blocking views from/to driveways, the recommendation is to remove the provision from the IPMC, as the concern is better addressed by the Zoning Code. • Regarding the section on pool and spa enclosures, it is recommended that language about barrier requirements be adopted from the International Swimming Pool and Spa Code book into the International Residential Code and the International Building Code (in lieu of adopting the entire Pool and Spa book). • Regarding the requirements for rubbish and garbage control on properties, Mr. Witt said he didn’t believe it appropriate for address by the Property Maintenance Code, so the IPMC section should stand as it is shown in the proposed amendments, and wider considerations will be part of the Municipal Code review. • Provisions governing fire alarm and detection systems are recommended to be removed from the IPMC, with requirements addressing these systems (in the C5 District and perhaps others) to be amended into the Fire Code at a later meeting. 1 Page 5 of 94 • It has been determined that requiring annexed buildings to go through the process of upgrading or installing fire alarm systems and fire suppression systems where none exist may be an impediment for people wanting to annex into the Village, so it is recommended that requirement be dropped at this time. • Fire alarm and detection systems relying on a subscription service will not be allowed; this applies strictly to the local alarm, not the building itself. Official Witt stated that all of the other amendments are in the same order as submitted before (for review at the December 15th meeting). Mr. Stahr wondered about the distinction between enforcement of the main building of a multi-family complex and individual units (specifically with regard to overcrowding) within, and the Village’s mode of enforcing the Maintenance Code. Mr. Witt explained that the Village conducts annual inspections of multi-family residential buildings, looking at the premises, the exterior, all common areas, and all fire safety aspects. Individual dwelling units aren’t inspected, he said, unless a complaint/query is received. Mr. Stahr supposed smoke detectors in individual residential units can’t be inspected, to which Mr. Witt replied that this is “generally true” (an exception being entry gained if an incident occurs). He explained that Code compliance is examined during renovations, but that there’s no ongoing maintenance review. Noting language in the IPMC that indicates the most restrictive provision of either that Code or the Life Safety Code shall apply, Chairman Bredfeldt asked for confirmation that the Village was no longer going to use the latter. Mr. Witt replied that this is correct and said the language referenced will be struck. The Chairman presumed that guidance on fence height around swimming pools is covered in the new Building Code for barriers around such. Mr. Witt responded that this is correct. Mr. Bredfeldt asked if a reference to that Code could be inserted. Mr. Witt said that direction to applicable codes are included, though are referenced generically. Life Safety Code The 2009 version of the Life Safety Code is currently in effect in the Village, said Mr. Witt, who explained that at the time adoption the stance of the Fire Marshall’s Office was that there was no code as strict, but a provision allowed municipalities to adopt one equal in life safety to NFPA 101, though the OSFM stressed that the International Fire Code was not such a code. He went on to reference a December letter from the Fire Marshall’s Office saying that home-rule communities can opt for fire prevention standards of their own choosing; in Glen Ellyn’s case, said Mr. Witt, it’s the 2018 International Fire Code – or to follow a 2015 version of a OSFM life safety code. He indicated that the Village doesn’t follow the latter, as the Life Safety Code governs State-owned buildings and State-licensed facilities. Public schools, he said, are reviewed by the Village under local codes, so it has a limited number of buildings the Life Safety Code affects (though the Village still inspects them). He concluded by saying that in the interest of avoiding a conflict between the two Codes, Staff recommends adopting the 2018 International Fire Code, and deleting the Life Safety Code from the codes adopted by the Village. Mr. Witt cautioned that adopting Codes in a piecemeal fashion carries a risk associated with adopting changes before examining all books; hence, he prefers to look at everything as a group. He outlined a timeline for review, saying June 1st would be a “nice date” for making code adoptions effective. Mr. Witt noted that the 2009 Life Safety Code is still in effect (though, aside from use in developing requirements for multi-family sprinklers, it hasn’t been used in enforcement activity in the Village in the six years he’s been there). 2 Page 6 of 94 Chairman Bredfeldt asked if the Building Board of Appeals would have an opportunity to look at the 2018 International Fire Code; Mr. Witt affirmed it would. Board Member Pope asked if there are any hotel/institutional projects under development in the Village. Mr. Witt replied that currently there is not. Mr. Pope asked whether the NFPA is pretty specific about institutional occupancies – particularly assisted-living – with regard to fire separations. Mr. Witt replied that pieces of the Life Safety Code could be repeated in the Fire Code, and is making a note to look at this, but said he wants to avoid adopting Code aspects that will not be used on a regular basis. He said the Apex and Goldfish pool installations are regulated by the Health Department. International Mechanical Code & International Fuel Gas Code Mr. Witt explained that amendments proposed for the International Mechanical Code (IMC) and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) are by and large administrative (e.g., cleaning up formatting errors), and other than these that Staff has no recommended amendments. He related there are a couple material changes from the 2009 version of the IMC to the 2018 version: one for increasing ventilation in beauty/nail salons, the other concerning exhaust protocols in enclosed parking garages. Other than these, he said, changes are not substantial, and Staff recommends adopting new provisions in the fashion in which they are written. He added the IMC had an update concerning commercial kitchen hood standards. Member Stahr asked whether an IMC reference to building materials governs existing projects. Official Witt responded by summing up the Village’s history of enforcement on existing buildings as, “If you’re not touching it, you leave it.” Hence, he continued, upgrades are only required upon changing a building, though said that Staff could insert language to better explain this. Chairman Bredfeldt asked whether, if the Village adopts the Mechanical Code, UL 2043 would be included in it. Mr. Witt replied that it is part of the adoption, saying the question at hand is whether it would be enforced retroactively. He added that if the Board wants to go that direction (retroactive application to existing buildings), he will entertain it, otherwise, enforcement will be handled as is currently. In response to Chairman Bredfeldt asking for clarification in IFGC language concerning taking return air from a garage, Mr. Witt explained that while a chart referenced illustrates a progression in versions (from 2012), the 2018 Code prohibits outdoor return air from outdoor heating/cooling systems to be taken from seven locations. Though it doesn’t specifically mention garages, Mr. Witt elaborated, language listing conditions prohibiting return air indicates to him that it isn’t to be taken from within a garage. As the disposition of pest control language specific to bedbugs was not included on the evening’s agenda, he said the topic will be on the next meeting agenda. A motion by BBA Member Clark, seconded by Member Stahr, to delete the NFPA 101 Life Safety Code (v. 2009 ) from the Village Code carried unanimously by roll call vote. A motion made by Member Clark, seconded by Member Pope, to adopt as may be amended the 2018 versions of the International Mechanical Code and International Fuel Gas Code passed unanimously by roll call vote. Trustee’s Report Trustee Kalinich reported that the Village Board has endorsed re-establishing the Architectural Review Commission (ARC), to provide input into proposed projects coming before the Plan Commission. Properties considered will be commercial and multi-family homes, and anything in the Historic District, with the exception of residential (which is under exploration), she explained. The ARC, she continued, shall be comprised of three architects, a landscape architect, and one member of each of the Plan Commission, the Historic Commission and the Environmental Commission. The re-established ARC is expected to get rolling in a few months, she said, relating that the body is to initially meet monthly. 3 Page 7 of 94 Chairman’s Report Chairman Bredfeldt expressed appreciation for having received the meeting packet the week before this evening’s meeting. Staff Report Mr. Witt said that he had nothing additional, other than confirming that consideration of the Property Maintenance Code would be on the Feb. 16th meeting agenda. Audience member Ray Whalen, 177 Sunset Ave. Glen Ellyn, asked how proposed Code language concerning outdoor storage would affect building materials, contending that building materials don’t always all fit in a rear yard. Mr. Witt said the provision really hasn’t changed from what is already in effect (and which precludes front and side-yard storage), but said he is open to hearing concerns, and offered to look at the provision and see if there might be a solution for typical construction projects, recognizing distinctions between short- and long-term durations. Mr. Stahr asked about opaque fabric used at jobsites. Mr. Witt deems this type of a barrier a way to control dust/debris and restrict driversby from gaping at commercial sites, and sees it as a way to constrain curious children. Mr. Stahr asked if construction equipment includes workmen’s personal vehicles. Mr. Witt replied, “No,” saying it refers to bobcats, h-Hi-lifts, wheelbarrows, as examples. Adjournment Chairperson Bredfeldt adjourned the meeting at 8:18 p.m., following a voice vote on a motion that was made by Member Clark and seconded by Member Beck.

We have prepared attachments related to each of these codes which will assist us in walking through all the proposed amendments. Specifically, the attachments to this memorandum include the following: 1. A copy of the currently adopted amendments to the codes being reviewed that are already in effect. 2. A summary indicating the major revisions to the each of the published code editions from our currently adopted edition to the proposed edition. The summary includes the major changes for each of the updates so we can understand the full scope of the changes since the 2009 editions. The highlights on the summaries indicate what changes are deemed to have the most impact on construction within the Village. We recommend concentrating on those changes during any discussions. 3. A “Redlined” version of the current amendments indicating the addition, deletions or modification to the existing amendments that are proposed by staff for discussion and consideration by the BBA. 4. A “Clean” version of the combined existing and proposed amendments which eliminates the struck-thorough verbiage contained in the Redlined version to make for easier reading and reference. 5. Other attachments as deemed necessary to provide information for consideration by the BBA in their deliberation on the proposed codes.

Amendments to this code are brought back to the BBA for further consideration since new sections are proposed. These new sections address dead and broken trees and shrubs, and bed bug infestation in multi-family residential dwelling units. Although most of the Property Maintenance Code materials attached herein are a repeat of what has been previously presented, we ask BBA members to review the highlighted text in Attachment IPMC-3 for discussion at the February 16, 2022 meeting. All changes to previously presented material have been included and highlighted within that attachment. Fire Code Summary: The following chart provides an overview of the different categories of amendments that are proposed. Amendments related to existing buildings mainly serve to increase the level of life safety for occupants of multi-family residential dwelling buildings and within the existing building stock of the downtown C5 Zoning District. At the meeting, we will provide further background for the reasoning behind each of the proposed amendments as well as the proposed deletion or modification of existing amendments. If we are unable to finish reviewing any of the codes, we can continue review of them to a future meeting.

This information was gleaned from the IPMC but is not necessarily repeated here verbatim. The International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC) is a model code that regulates the minimum maintenance requirements for existing buildings. It establishes the minimum maintenance standards for basic equipment, light, ventilation, heating, sanitation and fire safety for all existing residential and nonresidential structures and all existing premises. Responsibility is fixed among owners, operators, and occupants for code compliance. The IPMC provides for the regulation and safe use of existing structures in the interest of the social and economic welfare of the community. The following is a chapter-by-chapter synopsis of the scope and intent of the provisions of the International Property Maintenance Code as repeated, though not verbatim, from the preface of the 2018 IPMC. Chapter 1 Scope and Administration. This chapter contains provisions for the application, enforcement and administration of subsequent requirements of the code. In addition to establishing the scope of the code, Chapter 1 identifies which buildings and structures come under its purview. Chapter 1 is largely concerned with maintaining “due process of law” in enforcing the property maintenance criteria contained in the body of the code. Chapter 2 Definitions. All terms that are defined in the code are listed alphabetically in Chapter 2. While a defined term may be used in one chapter or another, the meaning provided in Chapter 2 is applicable throughout the code. Chapter 3 General Requirements. Chapter 3, “General Requirements,” is broad in scope. It includes a variety of requirements for the exterior property areas as well as the interior and exterior elements of the structure. This chapter provides requirements that are intended to maintain a minimum level of safety and sanitation for both the general public and the occupants of a structure, and to maintain a building’s structural and weather-resistance performance. Chapter 3 provides specific criteria for regulating the installation and maintenance of specific building components; maintenance requirements for vacant structures and land; requirements regulating the safety, sanitation and appearance of the interior and exterior of structures and all exterior property areas; accessory structures; vehicle storage regulations and establishes who is responsible for complying with the chapter’s provisions. This chapter also contains the requirements for swimming pools, spas and hot tubs and the requirements for protective barriers and gates in these barriers. Chapter 3 establishes the responsible parties for exterminating insects and rodents and maintaining sanitary conditions in all types of occupancies. X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Meeting 4\Final Attachments\Staff Report - Building Codes Upgrade Meeting 4 - 021622.docx Page 4 of 18 Page 13 of 94 Chapter 4 Light, Ventilation and Occupancy Limitations. The purposes of Chapter 4 are to establish the minimum environment for occupiable and habitable buildings, by establishing the minimum criteria for light and ventilation and identifying occupancy limitations including minimum room width and area, minimum ceiling height and restrictions to prevent overcrowding. This chapter also provides for alternative arrangements of windows and other devices to comply with the requirements for light and ventilation and prohibits certain room arrangements and occupancy uses. Witt commentary: The addition of occupancy limitation requirements for dwelling units to the 2018 edition of the code is perhaps the most significant change from previous editions. Many municipalities have previously struggled with the concern of overcrowding unless they wrote their own code to regulate the number of persons allowed to occupy dwelling units. The occupancy limitation provisions will provide a uniform approach to addressing occupancy loads across communities that have adopted the IPMC. Chapter 5 Plumbing Facilities and Fixture Requirements. Chapter 5 establishes the minimum criteria for the installation, maintenance and location of plumbing systems and facilities, including the water supply system, water heating appliances, sewage disposal system and related plumbing fixtures. Sanitary and clean conditions in occupied buildings are dependent upon certain basic plumbing principles, including providing potable water to a building, providing the basic fixtures to effectively utilize that water, and properly removing waste from the building. Chapter 5 establishes the minimum criteria to verify that these principles are maintained throughout the life of a building. Chapter 6 Mechanical and Electrical Requirements. Chapter 6 establishes minimum criteria for the installation and maintenance of the following: heating and air-conditioning equipment, appliances and their supporting systems; water heating equipment, appliances and systems; cooking equipment and appliances; ventilation and exhaust equipment; gas and liquid fuel distribution piping and components; fireplaces and solid fuel-burning appliances; chimneys and vents; electrical services; lighting fixtures; electrical receptacle outlets; electrical distribution system equipment, devices and wiring; and elevators, escalators and dumbwaiters. Chapter 7 Fire Safety Requirements. The purpose of Chapter 7 is to address those fire hazards that arise as the result of a building’s occupancy. It also provides minimum requirements for fire safety issues that are most likely to arise in older buildings. This chapter contains requirements for means of egress in existing buildings, including path of travel, required egress width, means of egress doors and emergency escape openings. Chapter 7 establishes the minimum requirements for fire safety facilities and fire protection systems, as these are essential fire safety systems. Chapter 8 Referenced Standards. The code contains numerous references to standards that are used to regulate materials and methods of construction. Chapter 8 contains a comprehensive list of all standards that are referenced in the code. The standards are part of the code to the extent of the reference to the standard. Compliance with the referenced standard is necessary for compliance with this code. X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Meeting 4\Final Attachments\Staff Report - Building Codes Upgrade Meeting 4 - 021622.docx Page 5 of 18 Page 14 of 94 International Fire Code, 2018 Note: This information below, related to the International Fire Code, was gleaned from the code 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 2. While a defined term may be used in one chapter or another, the meaning provided in Chapter 2 X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Meeting 4\Final Attachments\Staff Report - Building Codes Upgrade Meeting 4 - 021622.docx Page 6 of 18 Page 15 of 94 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.

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 with other chapters of the International Fire Code, Section 602 contains a list of terms that are X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Meeting 4\Final Attachments\Staff Report - Building Codes Upgrade Meeting 4 - 021622.docx Page 7 of 18 Page 16 of 94 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 means of egress components. Functional and operational characteristics also are specified for the X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Meeting 4\Final Attachments\Staff Report - Building Codes Upgrade Meeting 4 - 021622.docx Page 8 of 18 Page 17 of 94 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 4\Final Attachments\Staff Report - Building Codes Upgrade Meeting 4 - 021622.docx Page 9 of 18 Page 18 of 94 Chapter 21 Dry Cleaning. The provisions of Chapter 21 are intended to reduce hazards associated with use of flammable and combustible dry cleaning solvents.

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 4\Final Attachments\Staff Report - Building Codes Upgrade Meeting 4 - 021622.docx Page 10 of 18 Page 19 of 94 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.

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 marinas. It was developed in response to the complications encountered by a number of fire X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Meeting 4\Final Attachments\Staff Report - Building Codes Upgrade Meeting 4 - 021622.docx Page 12 of 18 Page 21 of 94 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. PART V–HAZARDOUS MATERIALS X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Meeting 4\Final Attachments\Staff Report - Building Codes Upgrade Meeting 4 - 021622.docx Page 13 of 18 Page 22 of 94 Chapter 50 Hazardous Materials—General Provisions. 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. Cryogens are hazardous because they are held at extremely low temperatures and high pressures. X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Meeting 4\Final Attachments\Staff Report - Building Codes Upgrade Meeting 4 - 021622.docx Page 14 of 18 Page 23 of 94 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 chapters of the International Fire Code, Section 5902 contains a list of terms that are defined in X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Meeting 4\Final Attachments\Staff Report - Building Codes Upgrade Meeting 4 - 021622.docx Page 15 of 18 Page 24 of 94 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 chapter addresses only the hazards associated with pyrophoric materials. Materials that pose multiple X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Meeting 4\Final Attachments\Staff Report - Building Codes Upgrade Meeting 4 - 021622.docx Page 16 of 18 Page 25 of 94 hazards must conform to the requirements of the code with respect to all hazards.

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 4\Final Attachments\Attachment IFC-4 - Major Changes.docx Page 1 of 6 Page 88 of 94 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 4\Final Attachments\Attachment IFC-4 - Major Changes.docx Page 2 of 6 Page 89 of 94 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 4\Final Attachments\Attachment IFC-4 - Major Changes.docx Page 3 of 6 Page 90 of 94 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 4\Final Attachments\Attachment IFC-4 - Major Changes.docx Page 4 of 6 Page 91 of 94 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 4\Final Attachments\Attachment IFC-4 - Major Changes.docx Page 5 of 6 Page 92 of 94 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. X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Meeting 4\Final Attachments\Attachment IFC-4 - Major Changes.docx Page 6 of 6 Page 93 of 94 Attachment IFC-5 Proposed Modification Factor Analysis 2018 International Fire Code Amendments Current amendments to the International Fire Code (Sections 4603.4.3, 4603.4.4 and 4603.4.5) provide thresholds for the requirements to install fire sprinklers in existing buildings based on the extent of the work area or project cost for additions, alterations and/or remodeling projects. 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.
