| | |
| | 7.2.2.6.5* WATER ACCUMULATION. OUTSIDE STAIRS AND |

| | LANDING SLOPE |
| | SHALL NOT EXCEED 1?4 IN./FT (21 MM/M) (A SLOPE OF 1 IN |
| | 48). |
| | |
| | A.7.2.2.3.4 A SMALL DRAINAGE SLOPE FOR STAIR TREADS |
| | SUBJECT TO WETTING |
| | CAN IMPROVE TREAD SLIP RESISTANCE (SEE ALSO |

| | SLOPE TO A SIDE OF THE STAIR, WHERE DRAINAGE IS |
| | POSSIBLE, MIGHT BE PREFERABLE |
| | TO A FRONT-TO-BACK SLOPE OF THE TREADS. PROVIDING A |
| | PITCH OF 1?8 IN./FT |
| | TO 1?4 IN./FT (10 MM/M TO 21 MM/M) AIDS THE SHEDDING OF |
| | WATER FROM A |
| | NOMINALLY HORIZONTAL SURFACE. |

| | PLEASE REVIEW AND PROVIDE DETAILS IN COMPLIANCE |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | 3) THERE WAS LIMITED INFORMATION REGARDING LIGHTING. |
| | |
| | 7.8.1.1* ILLUMINATION OF MEANS OF EGRESS SHALL BE |

| | (1) DURING CONDITIONS OF STAIR USE, THE MINIMUM |
| | ILLUMINATION FOR NEW |
| | STAIRS SHALL BE AT LEAST 10 FT-CANDLE (108 LUX), |
| | MEASURED AT THE |
| | WALKING SURFACES. |
| | (2) THE MINIMUM ILLUMINATION FOR FLOORS AND OTHER |
| | WALKING SURFACES, |
| | OTHER THAN NEW STAIRS DURING CONDITIONS OF STAIR USE, |
| | SHALL BE TO |
| | VALUES OF AT LEAST 1 FT-CANDLE (10.8 LUX), MEASURED AT |
| | THE FLOOR. |
| | (3) IN ASSEMBLY OCCUPANCIES, THE ILLUMINATION OF THE |
| | WALKING SURFACES |
| | OF EXIT ACCESS SHALL BE AT LEAST 0.2 FT-CANDLE (2.2 |
| | LUX) DURING PERIODS |
| | OF PERFORMANCES OR PROJECTIONS INVOLVING DIRECTED |
| | LIGHT. |
| | (4)* THE MINIMUM ILLUMINATION REQUIREMENTS SHALL NOT |
| | APPLY WHERE |
| | OPERATIONS OR PROCESSES REQUIRE LOW LIGHTING LEVELS |
| | |
