Objective | OP3 Protection of Adjacent Buildings from Fire |
Attribution | |
Application | Application 1: Calculation of the maximum aggregate area of unprotected openings, where the unprotected
openings are glazed with wired glass in steel frames or glass blocks
as described in Articles 9.10.13.5. and 9.10.13.7., in buildings to which Part
9 applies [see Sentence 1.3.3.3.(1) of Division A for application of
Part 9].
Exceptions:
except as stated in Sentence 9.10.15.1.(1), which applies to buildings that contain only dwelling
units and have no dwelling unit above
another dwelling unit.

Intent | Intent 1: To supersede the requirements of Sentence 9.10.14.4.(1),
which would otherwise require certain maximum areas of unprotected openings,
and permit a doubling of unprotected openings if certain conditions are met
[i.e. the unprotected openings are glazed with wired glass in steel frames
or glass blocks as described in Articles 9.10.13.5. and 9.10.13.7.]. This is to limit the
probability that fire will spread from the subject building to an adjacent
building through unprotected openings during the time required for emergency
responders to perform their duties, which could lead to damage to the adjacent
building.
Intent 2: To expand the application of Article 9.10.13.5. and 9.10.13.7. to wired glass and glass block in exposing
building faces. |
