| Intent | Intent 1: To limit the application of Sentence 3.2.3.16.(1) by
excluding eaves overhangs [soffits] if certain conditions are met [eaves overhangs
are completely separated from the remainder of the attic or roof space by
fire stopping]. This is to limit the probability of the spread of fire from
a suite or patient's sleeping room to a common attic or roof space through
openings in the eaves overhangs, which could lead to the spread of fire through
the common attic or roof space to other suites or patients' sleeping rooms,
which could lead to harm to persons. |
