Course Description: AEC Daily: Photoluminescent Egress Path Marking Systems: 2015, 2018, & 2021 IBC®/IFC®
Authorities having jurisdiction all over the world, including in all 50 US states, have mandated photoluminescent egress path markings to support safe evacuation of high-rise buildings in the case of total power failure. This course reviews photoluminescent egress path marking requirements in the model International Building Code® and International Fire Code® (2015, 2018, 2021) and identifies compliant photoluminescent path marking products. The course also discusses recommended best practices that exceed code requirements, which will reduce building operation costs and improve occupant and first responder safety.
Describe the IBC/IFC photoluminescent egress path marking requirements.
Specify appropriate photoluminescent products to satisfy code requirements.
Compare the human health and environmental sustainability impacts of self-luminous (tritium) exit signs and photoluminescent exit signs.
Identify opportunities to use photoluminescent products to meet or exceed code requirements for enhanced safety.
