PART I—ADMINISTRATIVE
Chapter 1 Scope and Administration
Chapter 1 contains provisions for the application, enforcement, and administration of subsequent
requirements of the code. In addition to establishing the scope of the code, Chapter 1 identifies
which buildings and structures come under its purview. Chapter 1 is largely concerned with
maintaining "due process of law" in enforcing the regulations contained in the body of the code.
Only through careful observation of the administrative provisions can the code official
reasonably expect to demonstrate that"equal protection under the law"has been provided.

Chapter 2 Definitions
All terms that are defined in the code are listed alphabetically in Chapter 2. While a defined term
may be used in one chapter or another, the meaning provided in Chapter 2 is applicable through
out the code. Where understanding of a term's definition is especially key to or necessary for
understanding of a particular code provision, the term is shown in italics wherever it appears in
the code. This is true only for those terms that have a meaning that is unique to the code. In other
words, the generally under-stood meaning of a term or phrase might not be sufficient or
consistent with the meaning prescribed by the code; therefore, it is essential that the code-defined
meaning be known. Guidance regarding tense, gender and plurality of defined terms as well as
guidance regarding terms not defined in this code are also provided.

Chapter 4 Emergency Planning and Preparedness
Chapter 4 addresses the human contribution to life safety in buildings when a fire or other
emergency occurs. The requirements for continuous training and scheduled fire, evacuation and
lockdown drills can be as important as the required periodic inspections and maintenance of
built-in fire protection features. The level of preparation by the occupants also improves the
emergency responders' abilities during an emergency. The IBC focuses on built-in bre
protection features, such as automatic sprinkler systems, fire-resistance-rated construction, and

Chapter 7 Fire and Smoke Protection Features
The maintenance of assemblies required to be fire-resistance rated is a key component in a
passive fire protection philosophy. Chapter 7 sets forth requirements to maintain required fire-
resistance ratings of building elements and limit fire spread. Section 701 addresses the basics of
what construction elements such as fire barriers and smoke barriers need to be maintained as
well as defining the owner's responsibility. The rest of the chapter, Sections 703 through 708,
deals with various fire and smoke protection features that must also be maintained. These
features include penetrations,joint protection, door and window openings, duct and air transfer
opening protection, concealed spaces, and spray-applied fire-resistant and intumescent fire-
resistant materials.

Chapter 8 Interior Finish, Decorative Materials and Furnishings
The overall purpose of Chapter 8 is to regulate interior finishes, decorative materials, and
furnishings in new and existing buildings so that they do not significantly add to or create fire
Ordinance No. 6458
Exhibit A Page 15 of 29
hazards within buildings. The provisions tend to focus on occupancies with specific risk
characteristics, such as vulnerability of occupants, density of occupants, lack of familiarity with
the building and societal expectations of importance. This chapter is consistent with Chapter 8 of
the IBC, which regulates the interior finishes of new buildings.

Chapter 9 Fire Protection and Life Safety Systems
Chapter 9 prescribes the minimum requirements for active systems of fire protection equipment
to perform the functions of detecting a fire, alerting the occupants or fire department of a fire
emergency, controlling smoke, and controlling or extinguishing the fire. There are provisions
relating to more general life safety systems such as gas detection and associated alarms. Mass
notification systems are also addressed. Generally, the requirements are based on the occupancy,
the height and the area of the building, because these are the factors that most affect firefighting
capabilities and the relative hazard of a specific building or portion thereof. This chapter
parallels and is substantially duplicated in Chapter 9 of the IBC; however, this chapter also
contains periodic testing criteria that are not contained in the IBC. In addition, the special fire
protection system requirements based on use and occupancy found in Chapter 4 of the IBC are
duplicated in Chapter 9 of the IFC as a user convenience.

Chapter 10 Means of Egress
The general criteria set forth in Chapter 10 regulating the design of the means of egress are
established as the primary method for protection of people in buildings by allowing timely
relocation or evacuation of building occupants. Both prescriptive and performance language is
utilized in this chapter to provide for a basic approach in the determination of a safe exiting
system for all occupancies. It addresses all portions of the egress system (i.e., exit access, exits,
and exit discharge) and includes design requirements as well as provisions regulating individual
components. The requirements detail the size, arrangement, number, and protection of means of
egress components. Functional and operational characteristics also are specified for the
components that will permit their safe use without special knowledge or effort. The means of
egress protection requirements work in coordination with other sections of the code, such as
protection of vertical openings (see Chapter 7), interior finish (see Chapter 8), fire suppression
and detection systems (see Chapter 9) and numerous others, all having an impact on life safety.
Sections 1002 through 1031 duplicate text from Chapter 10 of the IBC; however, the IFC
contains an additional Section 1032 on maintenance of the means of egress system in existing
buildings. Retroactive minimum means of egress requirements for existing buildings are found in
Chapter 11.

Chapter 11 Construction Requirements for Existing Buildings
Chapter 11 applies to existing buildings constructed prior to the adoption of the code and intends
to provide a minimum degree of fire and life safety to persons occupying existing buildings by
providing for alterations to such buildings that do not comply with the minimum requirements of
the IBC. Prior to the 2009 edition, its content existed in the IFC but in a random manner that was
neither efficient nor user-friendly. In the 2007/2008 code development cycle, a code change
(F294-07/ 08)was approved that consolidated the retroactive elements of IFC into a single
chapter for easier and more efficient reference and application to existing buildings. The
provisions address general fire safety features such as requirements for fire alarm systems, CO
detection and automatic sprinkler systems in some existing buildings, general means of egress,
and finally, the chapter contains a section dedicated to existing Group 1-2 occupancies.

Chapter 12 Energy Systems
Chapter 12 was added to address the current energy systems found in the IFC. The chapter
covers a wide range of systems that generate and store energy in, on and adjacent to buildings
Ordinance No. 6458
Exhibit A Page 17 of 29
and facilities. The expansion of such energy systems is related to meeting today's energy,
environmental and economic challenges. Ensuring appropriate criteria to address the safety of
such systems in building and fire codes is an important part of protecting the public at large,
building occupants and emergency responders. Previously, requirements for energy systems,
such as standby power systems, PV systems and stationary battery systems, were scattered about
in various locations in Chapter 6, which addresses building services and systems. However, with
the addition of fuel cells, energy storage systems and portable generators to the IFC, a chapter
dedicated to such related issues was necessary. This chapter provides an appropriate location for
the addition of future energy-related issues.
