  • Code Change No: M2-07/08
    DOCUMENTATION Code Change No: M2-07/08 Original Proposal Section: 202 Proponent: Bob Eugene, Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. Revise definition as follows: COMBINATION FIRE/SMOKE DAMPER (Supp). A listed device installed in ducts and air transfer openings designed to close automatically upon the detection of heat and resist the passage of flame and smoke. The device is installed to operate automatically, and be controlled by a smoke detection system, and where required, is capable of being positioned from a fire command center. Reason: To provide a consistent definition throughout all the I-codes. The phrase that is added is consistent with the IBC and IMC and is appropriate for the IMC as well considering that the bulk of the smoke control system is installed to the requirements of the IMC. Cost Impact: The code change proposal will not increase the cost of construction. Public Hearing Results Committee Action: Approved as Submitted Committee Reason: The additional phrase makes the definition consistent with the IBC definition. Assembly Action: None Final Hearing Results M2-07/08 AS Code Change No: M3-07/08 Original Proposal Sections: 202 (IFC [M] 602.1) Proponent: Richard Swierczyna, Architectural Energy Corporation, representing the Commercial Kitchen Ventilation Technical Interest Group Revise definition as follows: HOOD (IFC [M] HOOD). An air intake device used to capture by entrapment, impingement, adhesion or similar means, grease, moisture, hot air and similar contaminants before they enter a duct system. Type I. A kitchen hood for collecting and removing grease vapors and smoke. Such hoods are equipped with a fire suppression system. Type II.

  • Building Air Intake and Exhaust Design
    CHAPTER 46 BUILDING AIR INTAKE AND EXHAUST DESIGN Exhaust Stack and Air Intake Design Strategies........................................................................... 46.1 Geometric Method for Estimating Stack Height ........................................................................... 46.5 Exhaust-To-Intake Dilution or Concentration Calculations......................................................... 46.7 Other Considerations.................................................................................................................. 46.10 UTDOOR air enters a building through its air intake to provide O ventilation air to building occupants. Likewise, building ex- haust systems remove air from a building and expel the contaminants to the atmosphere. If the intake or exhaust system is not well de- signed, contaminants from nearby outdoor sources (e.g., vehicle ex- haust, emergency generators, exhaust stacks on nearby buildings) or from the building itself (e.g., laboratory fume hood exhaust, plumb- ing vents) can enter the building before dilution. Poorly diluted con- taminants may cause odors, health impacts, and reduced indoor air quality. This chapter discusses proper design of exhaust stacks and placement of air intakes to avoid adverse air quality impacts. Chapter 24 of the 2017 ASHRAE Handbook—Fundamentals de- scribes wind and airflow patterns around buildings in greater detail. Related information can also be found in Chapters 9, 18, 33, 34, and 35 of this volume, Chapters 11 and 12 of the 2017 ASHRAE Hand- Fig. 1 Flow Recirculation Regions and Exhaust Parameters book—Fundamentals, and Chapters 29, 30, and 35 of the 2016 (Wilson 1982) ASHRAE Handbook—HVAC Systems and Equipment. of ganged stacks.

  • IAPMO Uniform Codes Highlights
    IAPMO Uniform Codes Highlights The International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO) continues to protect the industry through its ANSI-approved process. In early 2018, IAPMO published the 2018 Uniform Pluming Code® (UPC) and the 2018 Uniform Mechanical Code® (UMC). The 2018 editions of the Uniform Solar, Hydronics and Geothermal Code™ (USHGC) and the Uniform Swimming Pool, Spa and Hot Tub Code® (USPSHTC) are set to be published in September. The Uniform Codes maintain the necessary balance between prescriptive requirements and allowable performance standards; they detail exactly how a system needs to go together to protect the public’s health and safety. Some of the key provisions of the 2018 UPC, and changes from the 2015 edition include: • New sound transmission provisions for plumbing piping systems. 309.5 Sound Transmission. Plumbing piping systems shall be designed and installed in conformance with sound limitations as required in the building code. Section 309.5 was added to address building codes’ specific requirements to reduce sound transmission in residential structures. With the changing societal living preferences toward luxury apartments and condominiums reflected in the current construction industry, the change was added to assist design professionals and authorities having jurisdiction. Furthermore, the change correlates the UPC with accepted engineering practices and building codes. • New product standards for such plumbing products as wall-hung fixtures, waste fittings, lavatories, showers, bathtubs and whirlpool bathtubs, flushometer valves, sinks and eyewash stations; and signage for single use toilet facilities. Chapter 4 has been updated to include the appropriate reference standards to assist the end user and the authority having jurisdiction for enforcement purposes.
