We have learned from the recent incidents that occurred in our college/university campuses, and other buildings, and have created installation guidelines to be followed for life safety. [Aurora, CO. Theater 2012; Columbine 1999; Virginia Tech 2007; Sandy Hook 2012; Weather Tornadoes/Storms]. // The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) School Safety, Codes and Security Workshop was held December 3 4, 2014 in College Park, Maryland, and was sponsored and hosted by NFPA. The resulting report highlights the need for real time communication systems in appropriate occupancies. // NFPA 72, National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code, has a chapter dedicated to emergency communication systems. This contains the detailed information on the risk analysis and emergency action plan as required in the above proposed sections. // This is NOT intended to require a mass notification system. There are many elements contained within a mass notification system. The process of the risk analysis will outline what is needed based on risk and engineering study for the occupancy. It will be the responsibility of the occupancy to react to the risk assessment. // A task group has been appointed to further review the location of the proposed material in Ch. 9. The committee requests the Correlating Committee review this action in conjunction with any related actions by the TC on Fundamentals and the occupancy chapter committees to ensure the provisions are appropriately coordinated. The committee also requests the Correlating Committee review the scope of the TC on Building Service and Fire Protection Equipment to recommend any needed changes to accommodate the addition of the proposed language.

This FR models the location requirements for assembly occupancies after the requirements in the 2015 edition of NFPA 101 for CO detection in schools as a basis. In the absence of a model building code for the installation of CO detection in restaurants many jurisdictions are developing their own regulations with varying installation requirements. This First Revision adds the needed model language.

37 AXM 5000 FR 6 AXM 101 FR 10 Jonathan Humble (Primary Voting Member AISI) Negative I am voting negative to these proposals (5000 FR 6, and 101 FR 10), for the following reasons: The proposal needs further development and clarity, The proposal needs to be written in enforceable language, and There are duplicate provisions. Preamble As written this provision would apply to all assembly occupancies, which includes: Area used for gathering of 50 or more persons for deliberation, worship, entertainment, eating, drinking, amusement, awaiting transit, or other similar uses. As written the provision would also apply to all garages, which includes: parking garage (e.g. open parking structures, enclosed parking structures), private garages, and repair garages. As written this proposal is intended to require a warning device or system about the presence of a deadly gas penetrating into an occupiable space from three sources: Vehicles, fuel based mechanical equipment, and fuel based appliances. The proposal needs further development The language being proposed needs to achieve greater maturity. Example #1, is the question It is not the intent to prohibit the CO2 from entering the occupialbe space, in most cases, in the first place? So where are the provisions to design for and construct for the subject separation walls to be wrapped, sealed, caulked, gasketed, or taped in order to prevent the CO2 from entering in the first place? This above all represents a gaping hole in the concept of preventing occupants from being exposed to CO2 in the first place. Example #2, since assembly occupancies subset includes eating and dining establishments, why are there no provisions addressing those eating and dining establishments which have cooking areas open to the dining area? This would seem to be an obvious since adjacent to the dining area is an area with fuel burning commercial kitchen appliances, much like the relationship between an occupiable space and a garage where the emphasis is to locate the detector in the occupiable space. Humble Ballots 5000 AXM FR6 101 AXM FR10 12 November 2015 Page 1 Page 37 of 56

38 Example #3; Do fuel burning appliances also include fireplaces? (See NFPA 211, Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents, and Solid Fuel Burning Appliances) This brings into question what is an appliance? Do we use NFPA 211 definition in this proposal which defines appliance as any device that utilizes a fuel to produces light, heat, power, refrigeration, or air conditioning. Further, NFPA 5000 Section (6) states: Frames of electric ranges, wall mounted ovens, counter mounted cooking units, clothes dryers, and outlet or junction boxes that are part of the existing branch circuit for these appliances. This needs to get straightened out. Example #4; Section , subpart #1, refers to permanently installed fuel burning appliances. This was apparently copied from language from other portions of NFPA 5000 (e.g. Sections , , , , etc.), however the only appliances I am aware of that are permanent are those in a commercial kitchen. Appliances in lunch rooms, business occupancies, and the like are not fastened to the floor or wall assembly and are considered portable (or not permanent), and therefore would be exempt from subpart #1. Further, when looking at the application of the phrase permanently installed one finds in NFPA 5000 that it applies to such objects as walls, partitions, casework, pools, etc. which suggests that same degree of permanence as an object fastened, bolted, etc. The question is was that the intent? Example #5; Section , subpart #2, refers to centrally locating the detector in the occupiable space. However, the question arises Was it the intent to centrally locate a single detector in the occupiable space no matter what square footage or volume the space is? This needs further work to address both the limitations of the manufactured detectors in the market and the intent of the proposal. This argument also applies to Section subpart #4 also. Example #6; Section , subpart #4, is punitive and will yield unintended results. While I appreciate the findings of the Fire Protection Research Foundation Report entitled Carbon Monoxide Diffusion through Porous Walls: A Critical Review of Literature and incidents dated February 2015, which discuss only gypsum board s characteristics, the reality is that all wall assemblies are porous. We know this from research and testing which has been done for the national model energy codes (e.g. Moisture and air transport through wall assemblies, a.k.a. air barrier designs). Further, there is an enforcement issue. One interpretation of the current language would be if a building were to have a concrete masonry wall between the occupiable space and the garage there would not be a need for a CO2 detector to be installed. However, once a single layer of gypsum board is applied to that CMU wall a CO2 would be required because the subject wall was constructed with gypsum board. Therefore, this raises the question about being too literal in the assignment of material types to a national model code provision. It would be more appropriate to have all wall assembly construction types included. The proposal needs to be written in enforceable language Humble Ballots 5000 AXM FR6 101 AXM FR10 12 November 2015 Page 2 Page 38 of 56

39 In its current state the provisions appear too broad thus raising the question about consistent and predicable enforcement, and the design community s ability to design a building with enough confidence that the construction documents will be accepted at time of permit submission. The proposal should receive another review to more effectively elaborate the prescriptive approach that is desired. There are duplicate provisions I would draw your attention to proposed Section Exceptions #2 and #4 are effectively identical. Both state that no CO2 detectors are required when an occupiable space is communicating with adjacent to an open parking structure. Exception #4 merely adds the provision concerning wall assemblies constructed with gypsum board, however that has no relevance in this exception since it makes no difference. Exception #3 and #5 suffer from the same duplication. Both exceptions state that no CO2 detectors are required when an occupiable space is communicating with an enclosed parking structure which is mechanically ventilated. Again, Exception #5 merely adds the provision concerning wall assemblies constructed with gypsum board, however that has no relevance in this exception since it makes no difference.

41 National Fire Protection Association Report 08 of 259 5/17/2016 9:43 AM Public Comment No. 107-NFPA [ Section No ] Assembly occupancies shall be provided with a minimum of one trained crowd manager or crowd manager supervisor at all times that the facility is in operation. Where the occupant load exceeds 250, additional trained crowd managers or crowd manager supervisors shall be provided at a ratio of one crowd manager or crowd manager supervisor for every 250 occupants, unless otherwise permitted by one of the following: (1) This requirement shall not apply to assembly occupancies used exclusively for religious worship with an occupant load not exceeding 500. (2) The ratio of trained crowd managers to occupants shall be permitted to be reduced where, in the opinion of the AHJ, the existence of an approved, supervised automatic sprinkler system and the nature of the event warrant. Statement of Problem and Substantiation for Public Comment More clearly define the importance of trained crowd managers within assembly occupancies. In certain assembly occupancies there may be trained crowd managers at certain times of operation or on certain shifts, but it is a requirement to have one trained personnel always based on the potential for emergency. It will aid in protection of occupants and mitigate further risk from uncontrolled crowds in an emergency.
