The purpose of the Codes Design Journal is to give students an opportunity to observe use of building codes, standards, and guidelines in practice. I’ll upload the building file I selected Each week you will review building plans with a focus on the Code Specifications. Additionally, you will add information based on in-person observations along with photos. You will also add feedback from peers on your findings.
For this week:
(1) Select one of the buildings listed under Files: Identify which building you selected.
(2) For the building you selected, select one public space in the building. Describ
e the Fire Protection System to protect the occupants.
For example: To detect a fire in a building or space To warn the occupants To suppress the fire until the fire department arrives. The system reacts when a fire is detected: Detects the fire Warns the occupants Suppresses the fire A complete fire protection system includes: Detectors Alarms Suppression or extinguishing systems
