35、a global revision to recognize newly updated provisions of the 2010 edition of ASCE/SEI 7, Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures. The 2015 edition marked the rst time that the various committees involved with NFPA 5000 utilized the tools, enhancements, and procedures (Regulations G

36、overning the Development of NFPA Standards) associated with the new code development process. The technical committees and the correlating committee benetted from the availability of a complete draft to see the changes in context and to more readily respond to areas needing future revision or change

37、s. The 2015 edition incorporated many changes that have application across the board or only to certain occupancies and conditions. Numerous changes worked to align NFPA 5000 with the accessibility denitions and scoping provisions that are contained in the Department of Justice ABA/ADA criteria (201

38、0 edition). Related accessibility changes provided scoping for one- and two-family dwellings, as well as deferring to the technical provisions of ICC/ANSI 2009, Standard on Accessible and Usable Buildings and Facilities. Several provisions relating to building construction techniques and materials w

39、ere updated, including the detailed requirements for plenum space construction in Chapter 7, which were removed as those provisions are now contained in NFPA 90A; recognition of new wood structural composites cross laminated timber (CLT), which was added to Chapter 7 as an option for heavy timber co

40、nstruction of walls, oors, and roof decks; new requirements were added for steel used in pile foundations; a series of changes were made to Chapter 44 to coordinate updates to ASCE/SEI 7, ASCE/SEI 19, and ACI 318; and the requirements for re-retardant-treated wood (FRTW) were reformatted and reposit

41、ioned from Chapter 3 to Chapter 45. These provisions were largely extracted from NFPA 703, Standard for Fire RetardantTreated Wood and Fire-Retardant Coatings for Building Materials. A series of changes that have a broad impact on the various occupancy rules of the Code were accepted. These included

42、 the allowance to use an atrium wall to serve as part of the separation for creating separated occupancies where permitted by an occupancy chapter, a change that is permitted for use by almost all occupancy chapters; the addition of explicit rules for security access turnstiles; the revision of occu

43、pant load factors for business use and ambulatory health care use, based on a review of how these spaces are actually utilized; the increase of options for the protection of vertical openings involving escalators; the addition of provisions for expanded use and placement of alcohol-based hand-rub (A

44、BHR) dispensers in various occupancies; the addition of provisions to address smoke alarm and smoke detector installation in the vicinity of cooking equipment; the mandated installation of carbon monoxide detectors and alarms found in the educational and day care chapters; and the expansion of the L

45、ife Safety Evaluation provisions (including further changes that were accepted with a TIA that was issued concurrently with the Code) to address facility management duties. The day care and residential board and care occupancies provisions were revised to permit additional oor levels to be considere

46、d part of the level of exit discharge, and the board and care occupancy provisions were revised to permit door locking for the clinical needs of the residents. The health care occupancy provisions were further revised, as was begun in 2012, to permit the health care setting to be made more homelike;

47、 nursing home minimum corridor width was reduced within small smoke compartments under certain conditions; provisions were added to permit exit doors to be disguised with murals for certain settings like memory care units; additional termination point options were added for the travel distance measu

48、rement in suites; options were added for increasing the size of non-sleeping suites; and the allowable size for smoke compartments in hospitals was increased. The ambulatory health care chapters were reformatted into stand-alone chapters so as not to require the use of the business occupancy chapter

49、s. Finally, numerous revisions were made in Chapter 34 to start to ensure that NFPA 5000 is aligned with and extracts the appropriate information from NFPA 400, Hazardous Materials Code. An interrelated change (made by way of a TIA) impacting Chapter 34 (and other portions of the Code) involved removal of all information that relates to consumer reworks and NFPA 1124, Code for the Manufacturing, Transportation, and Storage of Fireworks and Pyrotechnic Articles. The 2018 edition has expanded upon certain types of hazards and emerging subjects that m
