Page 196 of 331 32.2.1.3 ] Second Revision No. 153-NFPA 101-2013 [ New Section after 32.2.1.4 Multiple-Level Buildings. For purposes of applying requirements of this chapter that utilize the term level of exit discharge, including determination of stories in height as addressed in 4.6.3, the level of exit discharge shall be permitted to be the combination of floor levels as addressed in 32.2.1.4.1, 32.2.1.4.2, or 32.2.1.4.3. 32.2.1.4.1 One floor level located not more than three stair risers above the level of exit discharge shall be permitted to be considered part of the level of exit discharge. 32.2.1.4.2 One floor level located not more than three stair risers below the level of exit discharge shall be permitted to be considered part of the level of exit discharge. 32.2.1.4.3 Where one floor level is located above the level of exit discharge, another floor level is located below the level of exit discharge, and not more than a total of three stair risers separate the upper level from the lower level, the two floor levels shall be permitted to be considered part of the level of exit discharge. 32.2.1.4.4 The provisions of 32.2.1.4.1, 32.2.1.4.2, and 32.2.1.4.3 shall not be used in combination with each other. Organization: National Fire Protection Assoc Submittal Date: Fri Jun 28 15:01:28 EDT 2013 Statement The Life Safety code currently does not provide guidance in occupancies having multiple levels separated by a relatively short run of stairs (3, 4, 5, 6, etc). Short runs of stairs are most frequently found in multi-level homes (bilevel, tri-level, split-level, etc) and are often present in day-care homes, daycare centers, small residential board and care, educational, business and of course one- and two-family dwellings. This concept could theoretically be used for any occupancy to address requirements for short runs of stairs that would prohibitively require separation or enclosure. The committee revised the 8 riser threshold down to 3 risers to avoid the potential for a chimney effect and to avoid additional floors from being added to the level of exit discharge. Page 1 of 28

Page 320 of 331 Second Revision No. 164-NFPA 101-2013 [ Section No. A.32.3.3.6 ] A.32.3.3.6 It is not the intent to prohibit furniture in corridors and spaces open to corridors, provided that the minimum required width is maintained. Storage is not permitted in corridors or spaces open to corridors. It is also not the intent to require corridors to be defined by a change in flooring texture, material, or color to separate it them from areas allowed to be open to corridors. Cooking facilities complying with 32.3.3.8 are permitted to be open to corridors. Sleeping rooms are required to be separated from means of egress in accordance with 32.3.3.6. Organization: National Fire Protection Assoc Submittal Date: Fri Jun 28 16:07:17 EDT 2013 Statement The revision clarifies the committee's intent with regard to separation of means of egress. Requiring cooking facility separation is a common misapplication of the code. Page 28 of 28
