Robert Spencer-It was a wonderful seminar, and I like to thank the City for sending us. <br /> Tom Talboom- The 97 Code update is available to members if they wish to have a copy What <br /> we included in your packets was only the information on egress. <br /> Greg Cullison- Can we go through section 18, 18 1 and 18.2 so we can understand when a <br /> corridor is, or is not, required? <br /> Tom Talboom-You can go through an intervening room as long as you have an occupant load <br /> of less than 10 If you look a page 18 1 you will see that the perimeter offices have an occupant <br /> load of less than 10 This is typically what you will see m an office building with a lot of open <br /> office space. Small perimeter offices around the outside with a big open area and aisles between <br /> cubicles. Because the big open offices have an occupant load of less than 100, and the building <br /> is sprinkled, you do not need a rated corridor When the smaller side offices reach an occupant <br /> load greater than 10,you may need a rated comdor The large open area is required to have two <br /> exits because of the occupant load. You then have two exits going into a nonrated corridor That <br /> comdor,the light grey shaded area, is considered your intervening room. <br /> Greg Cullison- Then what is the difference between 18 1 and 18.2? The perimeter offices still <br /> have an occupant load of less then 10,but a rated corridor is shown. <br /> Tom Talboom-Because the occupant load of the larger rooms is now less than 501 <br /> Greg Cullison- Can we look at the exception on rating hallways and corridors? <br /> What I see on page 18 is that the perimeter offices have less than 10 and the interior, large <br /> offices, have less then 50 so you than have a hallway,with no rating whatsoever, but you still <br /> need the two exits. Then when you have less than 100 you need the corridor When you get to <br /> less than 501 you then need a rated comdor <br /> Tom Talboom-I think the reason for the less than 501 is that at 501 you need to have a third <br /> exit. <br /> Robert Spencer-I would like to take more than a one day course next year <br /> Greg Culhson-I would recommend the fire resistive class. They brought a lot of hands on <br /> material for that class. <br /> Tom Talboom- We will try to get approval for the Board to take two days of classes. <br /> 4 Open Topic-Board Discretion. <br /> 2 <br />
