I should re-phrase-----how were we successful in maintaining increased dist?

(btw- the previous code allowed deleting auto vents, but the travel dist. Could not be increased too) -----Original Message----- From: George Church [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, June 22, 2010 11:51 AM To: [email protected] Subject: IBC egress distances >250' Back under the 2006 IBC, we could go thru the motions of providing roof vents, get the egress increase under 1016.2 Roof Vent Increases, and then install ESFR and loose the vents, and we'd been successful in maintaining the increased egress distances (to 400'). However, while we're pretty fond of the IRC part of our new code, the 2009 IBC has totally removed the 1016.2 increase for a S1 occupancy. Now that the occasional big-box distribution center comes out for bid after the economic mess, is there another means to erect an S1 building wider than 500'? glc _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list [email protected] http://fireball.firesprinkler.org/mailman/listinfo/sprinklerforum For Technical Assistance, send an email to: [email protected] To Unsubscribe, send an email to:[email protected] (Put the word unsubscribe in the subject field) _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list [email protected] http://fireball.firesprinkler.org/mailman/listinfo/sprinklerforum For Technical Assistance, send an email to: [email protected] To Unsubscribe, send an email to:[email protected] (Put the word unsubscribe in the subject field) _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list [email protected] http://fireball.firesprinkler.org/mailman/listinfo/sprinklerforum For Technical Assistance, send an email to: [email protected] To Unsubscribe, send an email to:[email protected] (Put the word unsubscribe in the subject field)
