Firestop FIC 2008
• Code • FCIA ICC Support of NASFM
& CA Fire Chiefs• Business Research Statistics
– Top 20 US cities=11,000 High Rise– 70% in 5 cities
• LA, San Francisco, Honolulu
• Chicago & New York
• Inference…– Effective Compartmentation &
Sprinklers Produced Safe Buildings
Firestop FIC 2008• Code – 2008 – 2009 Code Proposals
• FCIA Identifies Trends…2009-2012– IBC = Smaller, Regional Cities– IBC – Big Cities?
• New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco AMENDED• Chicago – TRB Changes already in Chicago Code• Big Cities will amend…if they know.
– Compartmentation v. Sprinklers?
Firestop FIC 2008• Code – 2008 – 2009 Code Proposals
• FCIA Identifies Trends…2009-2012– Compartmentation v. Sprinklers?
• “High Rise Buildings are the safest”– Compartmentation & Sprinklers are the reason
– Big Cities and Regional Cities
• Egress Systems – – “existing capacity is ½ of design…”
– “Overestimated exit capacity”
– 9/11 changed egress models, how to we fix?
– Photoluminescent Markings in Stairwells
Firestop FIC 2008• Code – 2008 – 2009 Code Proposals
• FCIA Identifies Trends…2009-2012• 9/11 changed egress models, how to we fix?
– Protect Egress Systems• Elevator Shafts• Stairwells• Compartmentation
– Make Egress Intuitive • Photoluminescent Markings in Stairwells
– Mandatory in ALL high rise, retroactive
