Roisum, SET Sent: Wednesday, April 22, 2015 9:41 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Standpipes I agree Steve and I am breathing a sigh of relief because I know I have not included standpipes for buildings that have mezzanines above 30' but where the highest story is below 30'. So, what's up with that Figure 905.3.1(1) in the 2012 IFC? Am I looking at that wrong or should that be fixed? Reed A.

Let's say it's occupied - it's not a floor. Period. Now, if the BO or FO wants to make a ruling or interpretation that it is, or that they want standpipes, that's a different issue. But it's not a floor and should not could toward or past 30'-0". A mezzanine is not accessed through a protected stair and a mezzanine fire can be fought from within the unit.

Example: 4th floor is 29'-4" above lowest level of fire department access. So standpipe would not be required. But these units have a loft/mezzanine that will be obviously above the 30'. The only way to access the loft is from a stair in the unit on the fourth floor. So standpipes yes or no? It is an R-2 occupancy.
