Course Description: AEC Daily: New Code Requirements for Fire-Rated Doors and Hardware
The role of a fire-rated door is to maintain the integrity of a fire-rated enclosure in the event of a fire, giving building occupants enough time to exit the burning building. This course is an introduction to fire-rated doors and a general review of the fire codes that relate to fire doors and hardware, referencing 2012, 2015, and 2018 IBC; NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) regulations; and the ADAAG (Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines).
Discuss how fire-rated doors can minimize the impact of fire and its effects on people, property, and the environment, and identify the sections of the 2012, 2015, and 2018 IBC that cover testing and labeling of fire-rated doors.
Discuss how smoke and draft doors enhance the safety of buildings and facilities, and recall the different types of testing and rating for these doors.
Recall the different types of egress enclosures, and explain how life safety issues are addressed in the codes.
Describe the two rating types for fire door glazing and their role in fire protection.
