Wood Burning Fireplace Policy and Airshed Boundary Proudly Serving Rural Routt County * City of Steamboat Springs * Town of Hayden * Town of Oak Creek * Town of Yampa * Routt County School Districts Wood Burning Fireplace Permits and Policies Date: 12/28/2017 Subject: Wood Burning Fireplace Permits and Policies The Routt County Regional Building Department has put together the below information to help Routt County citizens or permit applicants understand what type of wood burning fireplaces can be installed in specific areas within the County and the process in obtaining proper permits prior to installation. 1. Protected Air Quality Area: Please view the Air Shed Map on the next page to identify where your property is located. All properties that lie within this protected Air Quality area will only be issued Mechanical Permits for wood burning fireplaces if they are EPA approved units that are on the State of Colorado’s approved list, which is also attached below. All permit applicants must submit the Make and Model number of the approved wood burning appliance with their permit application in order to obtain a mechanical permit. You will not be allowed to install a wood burning appliance in the protected Air Quality area unless it is an approved appliance on the attached list from the State of Colorado. 2. Exception: The one exception is if you currently own a “Fireplace Right” and are registered with the City of Steamboat Springs Fire Department as the legal owner of this “Firepalce Right” you may obtain a mechanical permit to install a wood burning appliance that is not an approved EPA device. However, the installation of this appliance must be installed in accordance with the adopted codes at the time of permit issuance and/or manufactures specifications. 3. All Other Areas within Routt County outside of the City of Hayden: All other areas that are served by the Routt County Regional Building Department are allowed to obtain mechanical permits for the installation of wood burning appliances, and these permits can be issued for appliances that are on the EPA approved list, and for appliances that are not on the EPA approved list. All appliances must be installed in accordance with the adopted codes at the time of permit issuance and/or manufactures specifications.

  • Fireplaces, Woodstoves, and Clean Air in Pima County
    Pima County Department of Environmental Quality 33 N. Stone Avenue, Suite 700 Tucson, AZ 85701 520-724-7400 www.pima.gov/deq January 2016 Fireplaces, Woodstoves, and Clean Air in Pima County Wood burning is of concern in our community because it is not healthy to breathe wood smoke. Smoke is made up of a complex mixture of gases and fine particles produced when wood burns. According to 2002 estimates, there are approximately 70,000 households that burn wood in fireplaces or wood burning stoves within Pima County. The wood burned by these devices emits about 3,100 tons of carbon monoxide (CO) and particulate matter (PM) into our skies annually, in addition to other pollutants and potentially cancer-causing materials. These microscopic particles in wood smoke can be inhaled deep into the respiratory system where they may cause serious health impacts. The combination of altitude, topography, longer nights and cool winters adds to the wood smoke pollution problem in Pima County. On cold nights with little wind, layers of warm air above trap cold air in the valley, forming an inversion. This inversion layer acts like a blanket and keeps smoke and other pollutants close to the ground. These stagnant conditions can last for days and impact the health of our neighbors. Check with your neighbor to see if your fireplace smoke is causing problems with their health. Together, we can spare the air of these harmful pollutants by choosing not to use our fireplaces as much, or by making small changes in our wood-burning practices. Wood Burning Tips Use firewood that has been dried for longer than six months.

  • Fast Facts (PDF)
    FAST FACTS According to the National Fire Protection Association, the leading factor contributing to home heating fires (30%) was mainly due to having a dirty chimney (i.e., creosote buildup). Heating equipment (including wood stoves) is the second leading cause of home fires, and third leading cause of home fire deaths. Most fireplace and chimney fires are caused by creosote buildup, and could be prevented. EPA believes there are approximately 13 million fireplaces, 250,000 hydronic heaters, and 8.5 million wood stoves in use nationwide. Five million (57 percent) of the nation’s wood stoves are older, inefficient devices. EPA estimates that if all of the old wood stoves in the United States were replaced with cleaner- burning hearth appliances, an estimated $56-126 billion in health benefits per year would be realized. Smoke from wood-burning stoves and fireplaces contain a mixture of harmful gases and particle matter (PM2.5). Breathing these small particles can cause asthma attacks and severe bronchitis, aggravate heart and lung disease, and may increase the likelihood of respiratory illnesses. Changing out one old dirty, inefficient wood stove is equivalent to the PM2.5 reduction of taking five old diesel trucks off the road. The benefits of replacing old wood stoves and fireplaces: • Saves money, fuel, time, and resources • Up to 50 percent more energy efficient, uses 1/3 less wood • Cuts creosote build-up in chimneys that helps reduce the risk of fire • Reduces PM2.5 indoors and out After start-up, a properly installed, correctly used EPA-certified wood stove should be smoke free.

  • Tall Wood Buildings in the 2021 IBC up to 18 Stories of Mass Timber
    Tall Wood Buildings in the 2021 IBC Up to 18 Stories of Mass Timber Scott Breneman, PhD, SE, WoodWorks – Wood Products Council • Matt Timmers, SE, John A. Martin & Associates • Dennis Richardson, PE, CBO, CASp, American Wood Council In January 2019, the International Code Council (ICC) approved a set of proposals to allow tall wood buildings as part of the 2021 International Building Code (IBC). Based on these proposals, the 2021 IBC will include three new construction types—Type IV-A, IV-B and IV-C—allowing the use of mass timber or noncombustible materials. These new types are based on the previous Heavy Timber construction type (renamed Type IV-HT) but with additional fire-resistance ratings and levels of required noncombustible protection. The code will include provisions for up to 18 stories of Type IV-A construction for Business and Residential Occupancies. Based on information first published in the Structural Engineers Association of California (SEAOC) 2018 Conference Proceedings, this paper summarizes the background to these proposals, technical research that supported their adoption, and resulting changes to the IBC and product-specific standards. Background: ICC Tall Wood Building Ad Hoc Committee Over the past 10 years, there has been a growing interest in tall buildings constructed from mass timber materials (Breneman 2013, Timmers 2015). Around the world there are now dozens of timber buildings constructed above eight stories tall. Some international examples include: Building Completion Location Stories Name Date Stadhaus

  • AP-42, Vol. I, CH1.9: Residential Fireplaces
    1.9 Residential Fireplaces 1.9.1 Generall-2 Fireplaces are used primarily for aesthetic effects and secondarily as supplemental heating sources in houses and other dwellings. Wood is the most common fuel for fireplaces, but coal and densified wood "logs" may also be burned. The user intermittently adds fuel to the fire by hand. Fireplaces can be divided into 2 broad categories: (1) masonry (generally brick and/or stone, assembled on site, and integral to a structure) and (2) prefabricated (usually metal, installed on site as a package with appropriate duct work). Masonry fireplaces typically have large fixed openings to the fire bed and have dampers above the combustion area in the chimney to limit room air and heat losses when the fireplace is not being used. Some masonry fireplaces are designed or retrofitted with doors and louvers to reduce the intake of combustion air during use. Prefabricated fireplaces are commonly equipped with louvers and glass doors to reduce the intake of combustion air, and some are surrounded by ducts through which floor level air is drawn by natural convection, heated, and returned to the room. Many varieties of prefabricated fireplaces are now available on the market. One general class is the freestanding fireplace, the most common of which consists of an inverted sheet metal funnel and stovepipe directly above the fire bed. Another class is the "zero clearance" fireplace, an iron or heavy-gauge steel firebox lined inside with firebrick and surrounded by multiple steel walls with spaces for air circulation. Some zero clearance fireplaces can be inserted into existing masonry fireplace openings, and thus are sometimes called "inserts".

  • The Affordable Heat-Circulating Fireplace Offering Style, Value and Performance. After a Hard Day in a Cold World…
    F I R E P L A C E S Y S T E M S The affordable heat-circulating fireplace offering style, value and performance. After a Hard Day in a Cold World… The NEW-AIRE FIREPLACE SYSTEM utilizes the basic principles of thermodynamics designed into any new high-efficient forced air furnace (radiant, conductive and convective heat transfer). By forcing air movement through a series of baffles in a specifically designed heat exchanger surrounding a steel firebox, ratings in excess of 200,000 BTU can be achieved in a full-fired condition. With 1050 cubic feet of air per minute at central HVAC static pressures, the NEW-AIRE fireplace easily matches the heat output of any high-efficiency furnace on the market today. Your home is the heart of your family’s life. A warm hearth is the gathering place that defines the spirit of the home. The NEW-AIRE fireplace, clad in brass and glass, provides both the traditional and functional elements needed in today’s life. Unlike stoves and inserts, the NEW-AIRE can be independently ducted to provide whole-house heating beyond the walls of the room in which it is installed. Certified to the International Mechanical Code, when ducted to induce heat into the central heating system, the NEW-AIRE SYSTEM efficiently provides the required heat for 4000 plus square foot homes. The NEW-AI Airtight /Airwash Door Control: heat loss, wood consumption, and smoke in the winter — air infiltration and ash smell in the summer. Makes any fireplace more efficient by controlling the “burn rate”.
