Building Code Board of Appeals Agenda September 25, 2024 Page 5 of 56 Geise asked Root if the Building Department could require people to put the ESS systems either outside or in the garage and Root explained that without code to support it the Building Department cannot enforce it. Geise made a motion to strike #7, 7.1 and 7.2 from the Home Hardening code (Lithium Energy Storage Systems (ESS)) in its entirety. Dino seconded; approved by all Board members present. Other items in the Home Hardening Code Berry: add 4th exception: Class A with "flame spread less than 25" would satisfy the "unknown" that is not covered specifically by the other items. Geise asked the Board if anyone had researched the availability of the 1/8" mesh. Berry said he was able to find some but cannot confirm that each one of the items listed in the Home Hardening Code is possible. Geise explained that by adding in the exception stating that by requiring a Class A system, it would be a catch-all just in case anything else specific was not stated. Berry would like to add one item to the exceptions to help account for any materials or other items that they may not have considered. Berry made a motion to include this exception, approved by all Board members. Exception 4: Alternate materials with a class A fire rating OR a flame spread of less than 25 may be considered.
