| | REQUIRED BASED UPON THE DEFINITION OF BUILDING PROVIDED |
| | BELOW AND IN THE FBC-E VOLUME COUPLED WITH THE |
| | ASSERTION THAT A 1-HR RATED FIRE BARRIER CONSTITUTES A |
| | FIRE WALL AND THEREFORE QUALIFIES THE SPACE AS A |
| | SEPARATE BUILDING, IS INCORRECT.. |
| | |
| | BUILDING. ANY STRUCTURE USED OR INTENDED FOR SUPPORTING |
| | OR SHELTERING ANY USE OR OCCUPANCY. FOR EACH PURPOSE OF |
| | THIS CODE EACH PORTION OF A BUILDING SEPARATED FROM |
| | OTHER PORTIONS BY A FIREWALL SHALL BE CONSIDERED AS A |
| | SEPARATE BUILDING. THE TERM ?BUILDING? SHALL BE |
| | CONSTRUED AS IF FOLLOWED BY THE WORDS ?OR PART |
| | THEREOF.? |
| | |
| | ONE MUST CONSIDER THE DEFINITION OF FIREWALL AND THE |
| | REQUIREMENTS OF FBC-T 706.4, BOTH PROVIDED BELOW. |
| | |
| | FIREWALL. FIRE RESISTANT WALL, HAVING PROTECTIVE |
| | OPENINGS, WHICH RESTRICTS THE SPREAD OF FIRE AND |
| | EXTENDS CONTINUOUSLY FROM THE FOUNDATION TO OR THROUGH |
| | THE ROOF, WITH SUFFICIENT STRUCTURAL STABILITY UNDER |
| | FIRE CONDITIONS TO ALLOW COLLAPSE OF CONSTRUCTION ON |
| | EITHER SIDE WITHOUT COLLAPSE OF THE WALL. |
| | |
| | FBC-T 706.4 REQUIRES A 3-HR RATING FOR FIRE WALLS FOR |
| | THE M OCCUPANCY CLASSIFICATION. |
| | |
| | FURTHER, THE ENERGY SUBMITTAL INDICATES ONE CONTROL |
| | POINT IS SUPPLIED FOR LIGHTING CONTROL. |
| | |
