Sprinklers shall be located below the obstruction and not more than 3 in. from the outside edge of the obstruction. 4.6.5.2 VLM Storage A sprinkler head is proposed inside each of the proposed VLM Storage systems on the south side of the Main Warehouse Rev 1.6 —Millipore Sigma T Page 13 2827 Whiptail Loop West, Carlsbad 4.6.5.3 Ceiling Slopes Per NFPA-13 Section 12.1.2 (Attachment #7), the sprinkler system criteria specified are intended to apply to buildings with ceiling slopes not exceeding 2 in 12 (16.7 percent). The building is equipped with an existing ESFR system. 4.6.5.4 ESFR Sprinkler System Separation Per NFPA-13 Section 8.4.6.4 (Attachment #7), where ESFR sprinkler systems are installed adjacent to sprinkler systems with standard-response sprinklers, a draft curtain of noncombustible construction and at least 2 feet in depth shall be required to separate the two areas. A clear aisle of at least 4 feet centered below the draft curtain shall be maintained for separation. The entire Main Warehouse and the two Cold Boxes are protected with an ESFR System. 4.6.5.5 ESFR & Construction Type Per NFPA-13 Section 8.4.6.3 and Table 8.12.2.2.1 (Attachment #7), protection using ESFR sprinkler systems are not allowed in areas with obstructed combustible construction. If combustible obstructed construction exists, insulation shall be installed at roof deck per NFPA-13 Section 12.1.3.4.1.3(A) to revise construction type to unobstructed. The building is existing equipped with an existing ESFR system. Sprinkler contractor to confirm roof construction is unobstructed and/or non-combustible. 4.6.5.6 Open Top Containers and Solid Shelving Per NFPA-13 Section 17.2.3.1.1, 17.2.3.1.2 (Attachment #7), ESFR protection shall not apply to open-top containers nor rack storage involving solid shelves. However, per NFPA- 13 Section C.12 fire tests have shown that the issue of open-top containers used in rack storage only occurred in the upper storage tiers increasing sprinkler operation and fire spread in the main array. While only closed top bin boxes are proposed within the two Cold Boxes, we are requesting to be allowed open top bin boxes on the floor level of the rack storage. Sprinkler water from the overhead will not collect in bin boxes until it has already reached the floor level of the rack. 4.7 Alarm/Monitoring Per CFC 903.4 (Attachment #8), valves controlling the water supply for automatic sprinkler systems, pumps, tanks, water levels and temperatures, critical air pressures and waterflow switches on all sprinkler systems (if serving > 6 sprinklers) shall be electrically supervised by a listed fire alarm control unit.

Through the balance of the code, occupancy classification is fundamental in the setting of features of construction; occupant safety require- ments, especially building limitations; means of egress; fire protection systems; and interior finishes. 00804710 No SECTION 301 SCOPE 301.1 General. The provisions of this chapter shall control the classification of all buildings and structures as to occu- pancy and use. Different classifications of occupancy and use represent varying levels of hazard and risk to building occu- pants and adjacent properties. SECTION 302 OCCUPANCY CLASSIFICATION AND USE DESIGNATION 302.1 Occupancy classification. Occupanes classification is the formal designation of the primars purpose of the building, structure or portion thereof Structures shall he classified into one or more of the occupancy croups listed in this section based on the nature of the hazards and risks to building occu- pants generally associated with the intended purpose of the building or struc:ure. An area. room or space that is intended to he occupied at d fhcrent limes ldr different purposes shall com- ply with all applicable requirements associated with such potential multipurpose. Structures containing multiple occu- pancy eronps shall oomph ith Section 508. Where a structure is proposed tir a purpose that is not specifically listed in this section such structure shall he classified in the isccupanc\ it most nearly resembles based on the fire safety and relative haz- ard. Occupied roofs shall he classified in the group that the occupancs most nearly resembles. according to the fire safety and relative hazard and shill comply v ith Section 503,1.4. I.

For sys- tems with multiple Lazard classifications, the hose stream al- lowance and water supply duration shall be in accordance with Section 12.8 as well as one of the following: The water supply requirements for the highest hazard classification within the system shall be used. The water supply requirements for each individual hazard classification shall be used in the calculations for the de- sign area for that hazard. (3)*For systems with multiple hazard classifications where the higher classification only lies within single rooms less than or equal to 400 ft2 (37.2 m2) in area with no such rooms adjacent, the water supply requirements for the principal occupancy shall be used for the remainder of the system. 12.7.3 The calcula:ions shall satisfy any single point on ap- propriate density/area curves. 12.7.4 The minimum water supply requirements shall be de- termined by adding the hose stream allowance from Sec- tion 12.8 to the water supply for sprinklers as determined by Chapter 12 through Chapter 20. 12.7.5 The minimum water supply requirements determined from 12.7.4 shall be available for the minimum duration speci- fied in Section 12.8. 12.7.6 Total system water supply requirements shall be deter- mined in accordance with the hydraulic calculation proce- dures of Chapter 2. 12.7.6.1 When using the density/area method, the design area shall meet the requirements of 23.4.4.2.1. 12.7.6.2 When using CMSA, the design area shall meet the requirements of 23.4.4.3.1. 12.7.6.3 When using ESFR sprinklers, the design area shall consist of the most hydraulically demanding area of 12 sprin- klers, consisting of four sprinklers on each of three branch lines, unless other specific numbers of design sprinklers are required in other sections of this standard. 12.7.7 Multiple Adjustments. 12.7.7.1 Where multiple adjustments to the area of operation are required to be made, these adjustments shall be com- pounded based on the area of operation originally selected. 12.7.7.2 If the building has unsprinklered combustible con- cealed spaces, the rules of Section 12.9 shall be applied after all other modifications have been made. 12.7.7.3 The minimum design density for any sprinkler sys- tem installed in a storage occupancy shall be not less than 0.15 gpm/ft2 (6.1 mm/mm) after all adjustments are made. 12.8 Hose Stream Allowance and Water Supply Duration. 12.8.1* Tanks shall be sized to supply the equipment that they serve. 12.8.2* Pumps shall be sized to supply the equipment that they serve. 12.8.3 Water allowance for outside hose shall be added to the sprinkler requirement at the connection to the city main or a yard hydrant, whichever is closer to the system riser. 12.8.4 Where inside hose connections are planned or are required, the following shall apply: A total water allowance of 50 gpm (190 L/min) for a single hose connection installation shall be added to the sprinkler requirements. A total water allowance of 100 gpm (38$) L/min) for a multiple hose connection installation shall be added to the sprinkler requirements.

For sys- tems with multiple hazard classifications, the hose stream al- lowance and water supply duration shall be in accordance with Section 12.8 as well as one of the following: The water supply requirements for the highest hazard classification wi:hin the system shall be used. The water supply requirements for each individual hazard classification shall be used in the calculations for the de- sign area for that hazard. *For systems with multiple hazard classifications where the higher classification only lies within single rooms less than or equal to 400 ft2 (37.2 m°) in area with no such rooms adjacent, the water supply requirements for the principal occupancy shall be used for the remainder of the system. 12.7.3 The calculations shall satisfy any single point on ap- propriate density/area curves. 12.7.4 The minimum water supply requirements shall be de- termined by adding the hose stream allowance from Sec- tion 12.8 to the water supply for sprinklers as determined by Chapter 12 through Chapter 20. 12.7.5 The minimum water supply requirements determined from 12.7.4 shall be available for the minimum duration speci- fied in Section 12.8. 12.7.6 Total system water supply requirements shall be deter- mined in accordance with the hydraulic calculation proce- dures of Chapter 23. 12.7.6.1 When using the density/area method, the design area shall meet the requirements of 23.4.4.2.1. 12.7.6.2 When using CMSA, the design area shall meet the requirements of 23.4.4.3.1. 12.7.6.3 When using ESFR sprinklers, the design area shall consist of the most hydraulically demanding area of 12 sprin- klers, consisting of four sprinklers on each of three branch lines, unless other specific numbers of design sprinklers are required in other sections of this standard. 12.7.7 Multiple Adjustments. 12.7.7.1 Where multiple adjustments to the area of operation are required to be made, these adjustments shall be com- pounded based on the area of operation originally selected. 12.7.7.2 If the building has unsprinklered combustible con- cealed spaces, the rules of Section 12.9 shall be applied after all other modifications have been made. 12.7.7.3 The minimum design density for any sprinkler sys- tem installed in a storage occupancy shall be not less than 0.15 gpm/ft2 (6.1 mm/mm) after all adjustments are made. 12.8 Hose Stream Allowance and Water Supply Duration. 12.8.1* Tanks shall be sized to supply the equipment that they serve. 12.8.2* Pumps shall be sized to supply the equipment that they serve. 12.8.3 Water allowance for outside hose shall be added to the sprinkler requirement at the connection to the city main or a yard hydrant, whichever is closer to the system riser. 12.8.4 Where inside hose connections are planned or are required, the following shall apply: A total water allowance of 50 gpm (191) L/min) for a single hose connection installation shall be added to the sprinkler requirements. A total water allowance of 100 gpm (380 L/min) for a multiple hose connection installation shall be added to the sprinkler requirements. The water allowance shall be added in 50 gpm (190 L/ mm) increments beginning at the most remote hose con- nection, with each increment added at the pressure re- quired by the sprinkler system design at that point. 12.8.5 When hose valves for fire department use are attached to wet pipe sprinkler system risers in accordance with 8.17.5.2, the following shall apply: The water supply shall not be required to be added to standpipe demand as determined from NFPA 14. Where the combined sprinkler system demand and hose stream allowance of Chapter 12 and Chapters 14 through 20 exceeds the requirements of NFPA 14, this higher de- mand shall be used. For partially sprinklered buildings, the sprinkler demand, not including hose stream allowance, as indicated in Chapter 12 and Chapters 14 through 20 shall be added to the requirements given in NFPA 14. 12.8.6 liift !ri(iti I t] odic -wic, I c miii irimm ,ifci iI\ 1 cl Juilcrrlrlk j li.lrjiiIic,rIl (IiThiLilc(I 1)I ill k1cI \t CHI 1i:sII ic tIc 1 liii neil I)\ tdt1iri the hese ctj etiti Ali sirc r jim III l28 t( i Ii: will Illlhltlll It spt ink hts 12.9 Unsprinklered Combustible Concealed Spaces. 12.9.1* When using the density/area method or room design method, unless the requirements of 12.9.2 are met for build- ings having unsprinklered combustible concealed spaces as described in 8.15.1.2 and 8.15.6, the minimum area of sprin- kler operation for that portion of the building shall be 3000 ft2 (280m2 ). 12.9.1.1 The design area of 3000 ft2 (280 m°) shall be applied only to the sprinkler system or portions of the sprinkler system that are adjacent to the qualifying combustible concealed space. 12.9.1.2 The term adjacent shall apply to any sprinkler system protecting a space above, below, or next to the qualifying con- cealed space except where a barrier with a fire resistance rat- ing at least equivalent to the water supply duration completely separates the concealed space from the sprinklered area. 2016 Edition Copyrrghr 2015 National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), Licensed by agreement, for inOividuel use and download on Novorstior 14, 201510 KLAUSBRUCKNER AND ASSOCIATES for designated user ELLEY KLAUSBRUCKNER.

The applicability of the three test methods depends on the viscosity of the test liquid and the expected flash point. FLEET VEHICLE MOTOR FUEL-DISPENSING FACILITY. That portion of a commercial, industrial, gov- ernmental or manufacturing property where liquids used as fuels are stored and dispensed into the fuel tanks of motor vehicles that are used in connection with such businesses, by persons within the employ of such businesses. 4.'-This is sometimes referred to as a 'you own the tanks, you own the vehicles" motor fuel-dispensing facility. The intent is to allow greater fuel storage tank capacities and reduced separation distances between the dispenser and above-ground tanks when the operator has control of the entire operation, including the vehicles being fueled. In other words, the person dispensing the fuel is an employee of the facility operator. Motor fuel-dispensing facilities are classified in occupancy Group M by the IBC. [BE] FLIGHT. A :ontinuous run of rectangular treads, winders or combination thereof from one landing to another. +Two points of clarification for stairways are addressed by the definition of "Flight." First, a flight is made up of the treads and risers that occur between landings. Therefore, a stairway connecting two sto- ries that includes an intermediate landing consists of two flights. Secondly, the inclusion of winders within a stairway does not create multiple flights. Winders are simply treads within a flight and are often combined with rectangular treads within the same flight. FLOAT. A floating structure normally used as a point of transfer for passengers and goods, or both, for mooring pur- poses. +A float is a deck section that lays on top of or is attached to (or both) a buoyant material in the water. The sections are attached to each other and held in place by methods that are designed to keep the floats in place. [BE] FLOOR AREA, GROSS. The floor area within the inside perimeter of the exterior walls of the building under consideration, exclu;ive of vent shafts and courts, without deduction for corridors, stairways, ramps, closets, the thick- ness of interior walls, columns or other features. The floor area of a building, or portion thereof, not provided with sur- rounding exterior walls shall be the usable area under the hor- izontal projection of the roof or floor above. The gross floor area shall not include shafts with no openings or interior courts. + Gross floor area is that area measured within the perimeter formed by the inside surface of the exterior walls. The area of all occupiable and nonoccupiable spaces, including mechanical and elevator shafts, toi- let rooms, closels, and mechanical equipment rooms, are included in the gross floor area. This area could also include any covered porches, carports or other exterior space intended to be used as part of the building's occupiable space. This gross and net floor areas are primarily used for the determination of occupant load in accordance with Table 1004.1.2. [BE] FLOOR AREA, NET. The actual occupied area not including unoccupied accessory areas such as corridors, stair- ways, ramps, toilet rooms, mechanical rooms and closets. + This net area is intended to be only the room areas that are used for specific occupancy purposes and does not include circulation areas, such as corridors, ramps or stairways, and service and utility spaces, such as toilet rooms and mechanical and electrical equipment rooms. Net floor area is typically mea- sured between inside faces of walls within a room. Net and gross floor areas are utilized in Table 1004.5 to determine occupant load for a space. FLUE SPA CE'. Longitudinal hue space. The flue s pacc heteeen row, oh toraee perpendicular to the direction ol loadiric. -:-The longitudinal flue space is a continuous open area between a double-row- or multiple-row-type rack stor- age system. The flue space is to be clear for a set dimension as required in Table 3208.3. from the floor to the top of the highest commodity for the entire length of the rack system. The flue spaces are an important feature for automatic sprinkler systems to effectively suppress and potentially control the fire Reducing or eliminating such spaces will potentially reduce if not eliminate sprinkler effectiveness (see Commentary Figure 202-175).

The flue spaces are an important feature for auto- matic sprinkler systems to effectively suppress and potentially control the fire Reducing or eliminating such spaces will potentially reduce, if not eliminate, sprinkler effectiveness (see Commentary Figure 202- F5). FLUIDIZED BED. A container holding powder coating material that is aerated from below so as to form an air-sup- ported expanded cloud of such material through which the preheated object to be coated is immersed and transported. +A fluidized bed differs from an electrostatic fluidized bed in that the fluidized bed uses an air stream instead of electrostatic charge. The air stream behaves like a fluid as the object is passed through it. Additionally, the object is preheated. In an electro- static fluidized bed, the object is heated/cured in an oven after the coating process. 2-48 2018 IFC®CODE and COMMENTARY Copyright 2010 ICC. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

A special system discharging a foam made from concentrates, either mechani- cally or chemically, over the area to be protected. •• Foam-extinguishing systems must be of an approved type and installed and tested to comply with NFPA 11, hA and 16. All foams are intended to exclude oxygen from the fire, cool the area of the fire and insulate adjoining surfaces from heat caused by the fire. Foam systems are commonly used to extinguish flammable or combustible liquid fires (see commen- tary, Section 904.7). While water applied by an auto- matic sprinkler system can only act horizontally on the surface that it reaches, foam-extinguishing agents have the ability to act vertically in addition to horizon- tally; and, unlike gaseous extinguishing agents, foam does not dissipate rapidly where there is no confined space. Thus, foam systems are also used where there is a need to fill a nonconfined space with extin- guishing material as in the case of certain industrial applications. [BE] FOLDING AND TELESCOPIC SEATING. Tiered seating having an overall shape and size that is capable of being reduced for purposes of moving or storing and is not a building element. •• Bleachers, folding and telescopic seating and grand- stands are essentially unique forms of tiered seating that are supported on a dedicated structural system. All types are addressed in ICC 300, the safety stan- dard for these types of seating arrangements. Folding and telescopic seating are commonly used in gymna- siums and sports arenas where the seating can be configured in a variety of ways for various types of events. "Building element" is a defined term in the IBC that is primarily used in conjunction with the structural elements regulated in Table 601 of the IBC. While telescopic seating may be attached to a wall, the system when pulled out or folded includes its main support system. Such seating is not considered a building element of the building or structure in which it is located (see Section 1029.1.1). [BG] FOSTER CARE FACILITIES. Facilities that provide care to more than five children, 21/2 years of age or less. :. Foster care facilities are group homes where children live. They are not day care facilities. Children under 21/2 years of age are assumed not capable of self- preservation; thus there is a need for higher levels of active and passive protection in the building (see the commentary to Occupancy Group 1-2). Group homes with children over 21/2 years of age would be Group R-4 or I-i, depending on the number of children housed in the facility. The "more than five children" is intended to clarify that a foster care family would not be considered a Group 1-2 facility. See also the defini- tions for "24-hour basis," "Custodial care," "Group home," "Incapable of self-preservation" and "Personal care service." FUEL CELL POWER SYSTEM, STATIONARY. A sta- tionary energy generation system that converts the chemical energy of a fuel and oxidant to electric energy (DC or AC electricity) by an electrochemical process. Field-fabricated fuel cell power system. A stationary fuel cell power system that is assembled at the job site and is not a preengineered or prepackaged factory-assembled fuel cell power system. Preengineered fuel cell power system. A stationary fuel cell power system consisting of components and modules that are produced in a factory, and shipped to the job site for assembly. Prepackaged fuel cell power system. A stationary fuel cell power system that is factory assembled as a single, complete unit and shipped as a complete unit for installa- tion at the job site. ••This definition is provided for the application of Sec- tion 1205. Fuel cell power systems are being used in ever-increasing numbers to meet facility energy needs. Stationary fuel cell power systems generate power through an electrochemical process that com- bines hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricity. The hydrogen comes from a direct hydrogen source or from any hydrocarbon fuel such as natural gas, gasoline, diesel, or methanol if the fuel cell power system includes integral reforming. The oxygen comes from air around the fuel cell. There are several types of fuel cell systems, which are addressed in I I I I I I I 1 I Ii I I I I I 2018 IFC® CODE and COMMENTARY 2-49 1111H -I em Copyoigat © 2018 ICC. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
