5.2 NFPA 101, The Life Safety Code This code deals with life safety from fire and similar emergencies. It addresses construction, protection, and occupancy features necessary to minimize danger to life from fire, including smoke, fumes, or panic. A minimum criterion for the design of egress facilities to permit prompt escape from buildings has been established, along with other considerations related to life safety. Chapter 5, Means of Egress Chapter 5 of the Life Safety Code is the chapter most pertinent to microturbine product developers. Section 5-9 outlines the general requirements for emergency lighting; 5-9.2.1 requires emergency illumination for a period of 1.5 hours. Illumination must be an average of 1 foot-candle; illumination may decline to 0.6 and 0.06 at the end of the 1.5 hours. The section refers to NFPA 110 for installation, testing, and maintenance of the generator set. The standard mentions only emergency lighting and exit signs. (It refers to other standards for fire detection equipment, fire alarms, elevators, and escalators. Those standards frequently will call for fire detection, alarms, and one elevator to be on the system.) Chapters 8-30 tell whether emergency lighting is required for each specific occupancy. For example, in Chapter 10, New Educational Occupancies, Section 10-2.9 requires emergency lighting in all interior stairs, corridors, and normally occupied spaces. In general, schools, most health care facilities, places of assembly, correctional institutions, hotels, dormitories, apartment buildings, and certain mercantile buildings require emergency lighting of means of egress. 5.3 Fuel Gas Codes Of all the safety codes, these are some of the most necessary. They rank with the NEC in their importance in saving lives. 5.3.1 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) 1997 This code was developed to supplant national fuel gas codes and is recognized by the three regional building code (BOCA, ICBO, SBCCI) organizations in the United States. As of January 1, 2000, this will replace the U.S. National Fuel Gas Code (NFPA 54, from ANSI Z223.1). The IFGC applies to the installation of fuel gas piping systems (design, materials, components, fabrication, assembly, installation, testing, inspection, operation, and maintenance), equipment fueled by gas (installation and combustion), and “related accessories” (ventilation air and venting) for 5.6PDF Image | PNNL 13277
