AIA Ohio is a registered provider with the American Institute of Architects Continuing Education Systems. Credit earned on completion of this program will be reported to CES Records for AIA Members. Certificates of Completion are available for non-members are available on request.
This program is registered with the AIA/CES for continuing professional education. As such., it does not include content that may be deemed or construed to be an approval or endorsement by the AIA of any material of construction or any method or manner of handling, using, distributing, or dealing in any material or product. Questions related to specific materials, methods, and services will be addressed at the conclusion of the program.

Building codes:How to look like a hero
You or your firm principal may be the “design professional in responsible charge” – responsible to the Owners, Investors and the Public.
You can have better design quality controlBetter understanding of design options for cost controlInsure public health safety and welfareControl liabilityThe Building Official, Plans Examiner and Building Inspectors are a resource, not your quality control system
You can save time and money for your firm and clientsBetter design decisions early in the project cycleFewer revisions because of misinformationFaster turnaround time for building permits
Origin of the Ohio Building Code
Based on Model CodeThe 2006 International Building CodeThree Year Code CycleOBC adoption follows the IBC adoption
The Ohio Board of Building Standards
Primarily modifies Chapter 1-AdministrationAttempts to not change the intent nor primary contents of the model code, only to clarify some conflicts, omissions or references

Balancing Risk:People & Property
Who are the users? How many?What are they doing?
Work, play, eat, sleep, worship etc.What things/materials are there?What are the hazards?
Human behaviorFire, smoke, water, gravity, etc.
How does the building support these behaviors safely?How does the building mitigate the hazards?What happens when things go wrong?
Seven Easy Steps
1. Determine Use and Occupancy (Chapter 3)
2. Determine height, area and building location (Your design premise and Chapter 5)
3. Determine Construction Type (Table 503 & Chapter 6)
4. Determine materials and fire resistance (Chapter 7)
5. Determine any special use and occupancy (Chapter 4)
6. Determine existing building issues (Chapter 34)
7. Review each section of the OBC for applicable requirements

Chapter 2:Definitions
Chapter 2 Master ListBeginning of each chapterWithin certain sectionsExamples:Chapter 5
AREA, BUILDING.The area included within surrounding exterior walls (or exterior walls and fire walls) exclusive of vent shafts and courts. Areas of the building not provided with surrounding walls shall be included in the building area if such areas are included within the horizontal projection of the roof or floor above.
HEIGHT, BUILDING.The vertical distance from grade plane to the average height of the highest roof surface.

Site PlanNext Steps
1. Determine materials and fire resistance (Chapter 7)♦ In this case the fully sprinklered building interior and exterior walls are not
required to be fire resistance rated (Tables 601 and 602). Fire partitions (708) for the corridors have a 0 fire resistance rating (Table 1004.3.2.1)
♦ Incidental use or accessory use areas must also be sprinklered.
2. Determine any special use and occupancy (Chapter 4)♦ Check Section 404 for Atrium requirements
3. Determine existing building issues (Chapter 34)♦ There are no existing buildings in this example
4. Review each section of the OBC for applicable requirements♦ Chapter 10 - Determine Occupant Loads; at least 2 exits required♦ Sprinkler bonus: in this case one interior stair can be open! (1005.3.2)♦ Each Chapter may have criteria important to your project

Chapter 7:Fire-Resistance-RatedConstruction
DefinitionsFIRE AREA.
The aggregate floor area enclosed and bounded by fire walls, fire barriers, exterior walls or fire-resistance-rated horizontal assemblies of a building.
FIRE WALLA fire-resistance-rated wall having protected openings, which restricts the spread of fire and extends continuously from the foundation to or through the roof, with sufficient structural stability under fire conditions to allow collapse of construction on either side without collapse of the wall.
FIRE BARRIER.A fire-resistance-rated vertical or horizontal assembly of materials designed to restrict the spread of fire in which openings are protected.
FIRE PARTITION. A vertical assembly of materials designed to restrict the spread of fire in which openings are protected.
SMOKE BARRIER.A continuous membrane, either vertical or horizontal, such as a wall, floor, or ceiling assembly, that is designed and constructed to restrict the movement of smoke.
Exterior Walls:Fire Resistance Functions
To prevent the spread of fire between buildingsTo prevent the spread of fire between stories in a single building
Fire Walls:Fire Resistance Functions:
Fire walls are used to create “separate buildings”All provisions of the code are applied to each building
Structural stabilityStructural independenceFire resistance

Fire Barriers:Fire Resistance FunctionsUsed to create separate Fire AreasMultiple applications:
Separate mixed occupancies and incidental usesCreate areas of refugeSeparate shafts and exit enclosures
Lower level of protection than a fire wall
Shaft EnclosuresPurpose is to minimize the passage of smoke and fire through vertical openings that connect two or more storiesFire resistance rated with protected openingsA number of practical exceptions

1015 Exit & Exit Access Doorways
1015.2 Exit access doorway arrangement. Where two exits or exit access doorways are required, from any portion of the exit access, the exit doors or exit access doorways shall be placed a distance apart equal to not less than one-half of the length of the maximum overall diagonal dimension of the building or area to be served measured in a straight line between exit doors or exit access doorways. See exceptions.
Exit Access
1016 Travel Distance1016.1 Exit access travel distance. Exits shall be so located that the maximum length of exit access travel, measured from the most remote point to the entrance to an exit along the natural and unobstructed path of egress travel, shall not exceed the distances given in Table 1016.1
Table 1016.1
1018 & 1019 Exits
1018.1 General. An exit shall not be used for any purpose that interferes with its function as a means of egress. Once a given level of exit protection is achieved, such level of protection shall not be reduced until arrival at the exit discharge.

1020 Vertical Exit Enclosures (Stairways)
1020.1 Vertical exit enclosures. Interior exit stairways shall be enclosed. Vertical exit enclosures four stories or more shall be 2-hour fire-resistance rated. Vertical exit enclosures less than four stories shall be 1-hour fire-resistance rated. Some Exceptions:Sprinkler Bonus: 50% of egress stairs can be open to two stories.

1024 Exit Discharge
1006.1 General. Exits shall discharge directly to the exterior of the building. The exit discharge shall be at grade or shall provide direct access to grade. The exit discharge shall not re-enter a building. See exceptions.
