1 00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:10,719 This is the 2024 IBC and IEBC self-certification training for 2 00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:16,240 accessibility and accessible means of egress. 3 00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:21,680 My name is Ross Sapon. I am a structural plans engineer and the architectural and 4 00:00:19,119 --> 00:00:28,000 accessibility technical lead for the city of Phoenix planning and development 5 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:44,879 department. You can contact me by email at ro O S T dot S A P O N at P H O E N 6 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:49,800 IX dot gov. My telephone number is 6022627802. 7 00:00:53,199 --> 00:01:00,719 You will notice during this video version of the PowerPoint presentation, 8 00:00:58,239 --> 00:01:07,200 I will be describing in appropriate detail the graphics that appear on the 9 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:12,000 slide to provide persons with visual disabilities the opportunity to have 10 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:16,159 access to the information presented in this video. 11 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:21,759 This is a requirement by the Americans with Disabilities Act for a service or 12 00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:25,759 program offered to the public by the city. And this requirement is 13 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:30,000 wholeheartedly supported by this department. 14 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:35,520 We welcome any suggestions on our efforts to make this video presentation 15 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:40,240 and any other services and programs accessible. 16 00:01:37,759 --> 00:01:47,040 Many of you listening today have taken college classes. So this question should 17 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:53,920 be an easy one. What is the minimum grade you need to achieve in a college 18 00:01:49,759 --> 00:02:02,079 class to get a credit for that class? The answer is a grade of D. 19 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:08,160 Codes specify minimum requirements. Codes provide requirements for a level 20 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:15,040 of work that would be analogous to the level of work necessary to achieve a 21 00:02:10,959 --> 00:02:20,800 grade of D in a college class. Some of you may view code requirements 22 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:26,959 as the gold standard. They are not the gold standard. They are as low as you 23 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:31,760 can go without failing. We will see this when we start discussing chapter 11 in 24 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:37,519 the IBC. These are the four documents that will 25 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:43,519 provide you with the required provisions for accessibility and accessible means 26 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:52,959 of egress for work outside of the public ride ofway. the 2024 IBC and the 2024 27 00:02:48,640 --> 00:02:57,480 IEBC with Phoenix amendments and the 2017 28 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,480 ICA117.1 29 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:07,680 and section 702G of the Phoenix zoning ordinance which 30 00:03:04,959 --> 00:03:14,000 contains the provisions for accessible parking and loading zones. 31 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:20,400 The 2010 ADA standards for accessibility design is another document that contains 32 00:03:16,879 --> 00:03:27,599 accessibility provisions. This document that you can find online for free is 33 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:34,000 title two and title three of the federal Americans with Disabilities Act. 34 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:39,680 The state of Arizona made it a state statute by reference to the federal law. 35 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:45,920 The state law requires that counties and cities adopt the state statute by 36 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:51,280 reference in their building code. The Phoenix Building Construction Code 37 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:57,280 is more comprehensive than the federal and state laws and has more stringent 38 00:03:54,799 --> 00:04:04,080 accessibility provisions. The Fair Housing Act design guide 39 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:11,599 document is a design guide only. It is not the Federal Fair Housing Act law. 40 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:15,760 This guide is based on the 1988 amendments to the Federal Fair Housing 41 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:21,199 Act. Please do not use this document. 42 00:04:18,799 --> 00:04:26,960 The Phoenix Building Construction Code has more comprehensive and stringent 43 00:04:23,759 --> 00:04:33,360 accessibility provisions. Use the Phoenix building construction 44 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:41,440 code and zoning ordinance section 702G for work that's not in the public right 45 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:46,400 of way. The 2010 ADA document and the standards and policies of the street 46 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:52,000 transportation department are used for work in the public rideway. There is 47 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:57,600 another federal document titled public ride-of-way accessibility guidelines 48 00:04:54,560 --> 00:05:03,600 that provides updated guidelines on how to make the public rideway accessible. 49 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:07,840 This presentation will not be discussing accessibility requirements in the public 50 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:12,479 rideway. Please contact the city of Phoenix 51 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:18,639 street transportation department for more information on what is required for 52 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:23,840 work in the public rideway. Let's discuss where accessibility 53 00:05:21,840 --> 00:05:30,080 provisions are found in the building code. 54 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:34,400 IBC section 1009 in chapter 10 covers the provisions for accessible means of 55 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:42,080 egress. IBC chapter 11 covers accessibility 56 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:46,560 and IBC appendix E provides supplementary accessibility 57 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:53,360 requirements. Section 306 in the EBC contains 58 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:59,440 accessibility provisions for existing buildings. 59 00:05:55,360 --> 00:06:05,360 The IBC and the IEBC are the scoping documents. They tell the user what is 60 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:12,960 required to be accessible and the quantity of each element that must be 61 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:20,240 accessible. Except for IBC section 1107, the IBC and the IEBC leave the technical 62 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:26,880 standards on how to make the element accessible to the ICA117.1 63 00:06:24,479 --> 00:06:31,840 standards document. Section 1107 64 00:06:29,039 --> 00:06:38,319 includes both scoping requirements and technical standards which avoided 65 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:42,400 amending the ICCA117.1 standard. 66 00:06:39,919 --> 00:06:48,400 This approach maintains the city's longstanding amendment format which 67 00:06:45,280 --> 00:06:52,960 places amendments in the adopted model code documents not in the reference 68 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:59,520 standards. Let's start with the IBC chapter 11. 69 00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:04,960 This is accessibility. This chapter is all about getting into 70 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:10,720 sites, buildings, structures, facilities, and spaces and using the 71 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:18,160 elements within these without the need for physical assistance. 72 00:07:13,199 --> 00:07:22,000 Chapter 11 starts out in section 1103.1 stating that everything shall be 73 00:07:20,319 --> 00:07:27,039 accessible. If you were only to comply with section 74 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:34,000 1103.1, you would be achieving A+ work. 75 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:40,400 But remember, the code is all about minimum requirements. It is not the gold 76 00:07:37,199 --> 00:07:48,479 standard. It only requires you to earn a grade of D to get credit. 77 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:55,120 The very next section, section 1103.2, lists 13 general exceptions. 78 00:07:52,240 --> 00:08:01,520 These general exceptions are employee work areas, detached one and two family 79 00:07:57,919 --> 00:08:07,440 dwellings, most group U occupancies, construction sites, raised areas 80 00:08:04,479 --> 00:08:14,800 primarily for security, life safety, and fire safety, limited access spaces like 81 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:23,039 catwalks and crawl spaces. raised and lowered areas less than 300 82 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:27,599 square ft in area for religious worship, equipment spaces, 83 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:35,200 highway toll booths, specific R1 and R3 buildings, 84 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:41,200 the dwelling unit portion that also has a daycare facility, 85 00:08:38,159 --> 00:08:47,440 specific common use areas in detention and correction facilities. ities, 86 00:08:44,399 --> 00:08:53,440 walk-in coolers and freezers accessed from employee work areas. 87 00:08:50,959 --> 00:09:02,000 This is the start of getting the accessibility requirements away from a 88 00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:06,959 A+ level and back down to the D level. Accessible routes. 89 00:09:04,399 --> 00:09:12,399 Most elements that are required to be accessible must have an accessible route 90 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:18,880 to them. But that is not always the case. The code must be read carefully to 91 00:09:16,560 --> 00:09:23,519 determine if an accessible route is required to an accessible element or 92 00:09:21,839 --> 00:09:28,720 space. The term accessible in the code only 93 00:09:26,399 --> 00:09:36,920 means that the element must be provided with features that are considered 94 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:36,920 accessible in compliance with ICA117.1 95 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:46,560 standards. It does not automatically mean that the path to it must comply 96 00:09:42,959 --> 00:09:51,760 with accessible route standards. What is an accessible route? An 97 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:57,519 accessible route is a continuous unobstructed path that complies with 98 00:09:54,399 --> 00:10:03,519 chapter 11 of the IBC. An accessible route is a pedestrian 99 00:10:00,399 --> 00:10:09,839 circulation path that can be made up of one or several specific components that 100 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:16,640 allows a person with a mobility disability to get from point A to point 101 00:10:13,279 --> 00:10:22,079 B without assistance. There are six components that can be 102 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:28,160 used to make up an accessible route. Those six components are walking 103 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:36,959 surfaces with slope not steeper than one in 20 doors and doorways, ramps, curb 104 00:10:33,279 --> 00:10:43,760 ramps excluding the flared sides, passenger elevators and platform lifts. 105 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:48,880 Platform lifts are also known as wheelchair lifts 106 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:54,640 and limited use limited application elevators, also known as Lulas, cannot 107 00:10:52,160 --> 00:11:00,560 be used where passenger elevators are required, but they can be used where 108 00:10:57,279 --> 00:11:05,839 platform lifts are allowed. Notice that providing physical 109 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:14,079 assistance is not one of the listed components of an accessible route. 110 00:11:10,399 --> 00:11:20,000 Platform lifts. Always have a platform for a mobility device like a wheelchair. 111 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:25,120 Some may lift a platform along the incline of a stair. Some may lift a 112 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:31,040 platform vertically between floor levels. A picture of an inclined lift 113 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:34,640 that lifts the platform along the incline of a stair is shown on this 114 00:11:32,959 --> 00:11:40,160 slide. A picture of a vertical lift is also 115 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:46,399 shown on this slide. Chairlifts have an integral chair. They 116 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:54,800 do not have a platform. These are not platform lifts. Chairlifts are not a 117 00:11:50,560 --> 00:12:01,440 listed component of an accessible route. A picture of a chairlift crossed out 118 00:11:57,279 --> 00:12:08,160 with a red X is shown on this slide. At least one accessible route within a 119 00:12:04,560 --> 00:12:14,800 site is required to the accessible building entrance from 120 00:12:11,279 --> 00:12:19,440 public transportation stops, accessible parking spaces, 121 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:26,079 accessible loading zones, accessible electric vehicle charging 122 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:32,480 spaces, and public streets or public sidewalks. 123 00:12:28,399 --> 00:12:38,480 These are known as site arrival points. An accessible route is not required onto 124 00:12:35,839 --> 00:12:45,519 a site from a public street or public sidewalk where only a vehicular way is 125 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:52,160 provided onto the site with no pedestrian access. 126 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:58,240 However, an accessible route is required onto a site from a public street or 127 00:12:54,639 --> 00:13:07,600 public sidewalk if the building on the site has or serves type B units. 128 00:13:04,560 --> 00:13:13,360 An accessible route is not required between a site arrival point and an 129 00:13:10,560 --> 00:13:19,760 accessible building entrance where only a vehicular way is provided between the 130 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:26,160 site arrival point and the building entrance and no pedestrian access path 131 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:33,360 is provided. However, an accessible route is required 132 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:41,680 between a site arrival point and an accessible building if the building on 133 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:47,440 the site has or serves type B units. At least one accessible route shall 134 00:13:44,399 --> 00:13:54,160 connect between accessible buildings, accessible facilities, accessible 135 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:59,839 elements, and accessible spaces within a site. 136 00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:05,120 However, an accessible route on site is not required between accessible 137 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:10,720 buildings, accessible facilities, accessible elements, and accessible 138 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:16,560 spaces where the only means of access between them is a vehicular way with no 139 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:24,320 pedestrian access. A trail, a walkway, and a delineated 140 00:14:20,959 --> 00:14:29,680 path on a vehicular way can all be considered pedestrian access. A 141 00:14:27,199 --> 00:14:35,519 pedestrian access that's provided must also be an 142 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:41,120 accessible route. Common use circulation paths within 143 00:14:38,079 --> 00:14:47,600 employee work areas shall be accessible routes. There are exceptions. 144 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:51,519 Press boxes shall be on an accessible route. 145 00:14:49,279 --> 00:14:58,399 There are exceptions. Stories, mezzanines, and occupied roofs 146 00:14:54,720 --> 00:15:03,760 shall be connected to accessible routes. There are exceptions and exceptions to 147 00:15:01,279 --> 00:15:09,360 the exceptions. Accessible routes shall be located in 148 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:13,120 the same area as the general circulation path. 149 00:15:10,959 --> 00:15:19,120 There are exceptions. Security barriers, ballards, checkpoints 150 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:25,040 shall not obstruct accessible routes. Again, there are exceptions. 151 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:31,040 Accessible entrances. At least 60% of public entrances shall 152 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:37,519 be accessible. Other required accessible entrances are 153 00:15:33,519 --> 00:15:43,519 also listed. Parking garage entrances, pedestrian tunnel and elevated walkway 154 00:15:40,079 --> 00:15:50,000 entrance. Restricted entrance. These include employee only and tenant renter 155 00:15:46,959 --> 00:15:55,040 only entrances. Inmate detainee security personnelon 156 00:15:53,279 --> 00:16:01,440 entrance. Service entrance when it is the only 157 00:15:57,759 --> 00:16:08,480 entrance into an accessible space. Tenants space entrance. and a dwelling 158 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:14,240 unit entrance for accessible type A and type B units. 159 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:20,320 Parking and loading zones. An amendment deletes section 1106 160 00:16:17,199 --> 00:16:26,880 entirely and refers to the city of Phoenix zoning ordinance. Accessible 161 00:16:23,839 --> 00:16:30,680 parking is found in zoning ordinance section 702G. 162 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:42,360 Helpful TRT documents include city parking requirements guideline which is 163 00:16:38,639 --> 00:16:42,360 number 000070 164 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:50,040 and accessibility parking standards which is number 00433. 165 00:16:50,959 --> 00:17:01,839 Motor vehicle related facilities. An electric vehicle charging station is 166 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:09,039 not required to be a parking space, but if it also serves to provide vehicle 167 00:17:05,120 --> 00:17:16,000 parking required by the Phoenix zoning ordinance, it shall be considered a 168 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:20,640 separate parking facility and shall comply with the most restrictive 169 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:26,240 requirements of both vehicle space types. 170 00:17:22,959 --> 00:17:33,039 at least 5% but not less than one electric vehicle charging space for each 171 00:17:29,919 --> 00:17:38,960 type of electric vehicle charging system in an electric vehicle charging station 172 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:44,640 shall be accessible. Section 1107.2 173 00:17:41,919 --> 00:17:50,240 Two also provides the technical standards on how to make the accessible 174 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:57,440 electric vehicle charging station accessible such as vehicle space and 175 00:17:53,600 --> 00:18:02,799 access aisle dimensions, headroom, clear floor space at operable parts, 176 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:09,600 accessible operability of the charging controls, etc. 177 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:14,080 Dwelling units and sleeping units. It is important to know the technical 178 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:20,640 difference between a dwelling unit and a sleeping unit. A dwelling unit provides 179 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:26,400 complete living facilities including permanent provisions for living, 180 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:31,360 sleeping, eating, cooking, and sanitation. 181 00:18:28,799 --> 00:18:39,280 A sleeping unit provides permanent provisions for sleeping and can include 182 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:46,240 provisions for living, eating and either sanitation facilities or a kitchen, but 183 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:53,600 not both. A microwave is not considered a cooking facility. 184 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:58,240 The IBC specifies three dwelling and sleeping unit types depending on the 185 00:18:56,320 --> 00:19:04,880 type of project. The accessible unit type is constructed 186 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:11,760 to be fully accessible upon issuance of the certificate of occupancy. 187 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:18,080 The typeA unit and the type B unit are adaptable units. They are constructed to 188 00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:24,240 allow grab bars to be installed by the occupant and they also contain space 189 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:29,200 sizes that consider an occupant with a mobility disability. 190 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:35,520 The type A unit provides more accessibility features when fully 191 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:41,039 adapted than the type B unit, but it does not become an accessible unit even 192 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:46,799 when fully adapted. The type B unit represents the building 193 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:52,640 codes version of the adaptable unit described in the Fair Housing Act. 194 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:58,320 Although this presentation does not cover the International Residential 195 00:19:54,960 --> 00:20:04,400 Code, it is worth mentioning that the city of Phoenix has adopted inclusive 196 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:10,559 home design requirements for one and two family dwellings and town houses that 197 00:20:07,039 --> 00:20:17,919 are regulated by the IRC. Refer to IRC section R322 198 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:25,120 for specific details on inclusive home design. 199 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:33,120 Quantity and type of units depends on the occupancy classification. 200 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:38,880 Group I or group R. The specific use and the total quantity of units in the 201 00:20:35,360 --> 00:20:44,240 building and on the project. The type of unit required is also 202 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:50,480 dependent on the length of stay and type of stay. The following terms are 203 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:57,520 important in determining which type of unit will be required. 204 00:20:54,240 --> 00:21:04,159 Transient. This is a unit used for 30 days or less. 205 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:11,120 Intended to be occupied as a residence. This is a unit that is an occupant's 206 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:16,640 place of abode. The intended to be occupied as a 207 00:21:13,679 --> 00:21:22,240 residence condition may occur when any one of the following is true. 208 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:26,400 The resident does not have another residence. 209 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:30,720 The residence is receiving their mail here 210 00:21:28,159 --> 00:21:37,200 and the resident has the right to return to the same unit from let's say a 211 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:42,080 vacation and the unit is not rented to someone else while the resident is away 212 00:21:39,360 --> 00:21:47,919 on that vacation. Special occupancies. 213 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:55,280 If a service or facility is provided in rooms and spaces used for assembly 214 00:21:50,159 --> 00:22:01,919 purposes with fixed seating, bleachers, grandstands or folding and telescopic 215 00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:08,799 seating that is not accessible.

Bottle filling stations shall be accessible. 248 00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:28,799 A bottle filling station over a drinking fountain for standing persons is not 249 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:34,240 required to be accessible if a corresponding accessible bottle filling 250 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:40,720 station is placed over a drinking fountain for persons using a wheelchair. 251 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:46,000 Saunas and steam rooms shall be accessible. 252 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:50,400 5% but not less than one when they are clustered. 253 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:56,480 Passenger elevators on an accessible route shall be accessible. 254 00:25:54,080 --> 00:26:01,600 Platform lifts can be used as a component of an accessible route in 10 255 00:25:59,360 --> 00:26:07,400 specific locations. These locations are listed in section 256 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,400 1110.11. 257 00:26:08,159 --> 00:26:17,159 I will not be listing them in this presentation. So, please look at section 258 00:26:14,159 --> 00:26:17,159 1110.11. 259 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:27,360 At least 10% but not less than one of each type of fixed or built-in storage 260 00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:33,039 element shall be accessible. Selfservice shelves and display units 261 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:38,799 must be on an accessible route, but these are not required to comply with 262 00:26:35,279 --> 00:26:44,480 the reach range requirements. Detectable warnings, also known as 263 00:26:41,279 --> 00:26:50,960 truncated domes, are only required at passenger transit platform edges 264 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:57,360 bordering a drop off not protected by platform screens or guards. 265 00:26:55,120 --> 00:27:05,440 Remember that we are not discussing accessibility in the public rideway. 266 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:11,039 Although not required by code, a site should be consistent in its application 267 00:27:07,919 --> 00:27:18,320 of detectable warnings. If an existing site has them, consider 268 00:27:15,120 --> 00:27:25,120 specifying them on new construction in locations consistent with the existing 269 00:27:21,120 --> 00:27:30,799 locations or removing the existing ones to avoid confusion for persons with 270 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:34,559 visual disabilities. Where dining surfaces for the 271 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:41,039 consumption of food or drink are provided. At least 5% but not less than 272 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:47,840 one of the fixed or built-in dining surfaces for the seating and standing 273 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:55,840 spaces shall be accessible. And at least 5% but not less than one of 274 00:27:52,799 --> 00:28:00,480 the movable dining surfaces for the seating and standing spaces shall be 275 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:06,720 accessible in dining and drinking areas. All 276 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:13,120 interior and exterior floor areas shall be accessible and be on an accessible 277 00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:17,279 route. There are four exceptions to this. 278 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:23,600 A percentage of service facilities like checkout aisles, sales, and service 279 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:27,840 counters and service windows and food service lines are required to be 280 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:34,080 accessible. Drive up service windows used 281 00:28:30,559 --> 00:28:40,720 exclusively by persons in a vehicle are not required to be accessible. 282 00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:46,720 controls operating mechanisms and hardware intended for operation by the 283 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:51,840 occupants, including switches that control lighting and ventilation and 284 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:58,799 electrical convenience outlets in accessible spaces along accessible 285 00:28:54,960 --> 00:29:03,760 routes or as part of accessible elements shall be accessible. There are three 286 00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:10,159 exceptions. This requirement covers controls, 287 00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:17,600 operating mechanisms and hardware in interior and exterior locations. 288 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:21,840 Recreational facilities. Recreational facilities shall be 289 00:29:19,679 --> 00:29:31,200 provided with accessible features as specified in section 1111. 290 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:34,799 Zoning ordinance section 507 tab A.2 2 291 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:40,799 C.4 also contains requirements for 292 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:47,039 accessible routes to exterior spaces, recreational facilities, and amenities 293 00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:52,039 regardless of if they are accessible. Refer to TRT DOC0000137 294 00:29:53,039 --> 00:29:59,000 as a guide for this zoning ordinance section. 295 00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:06,559 Signage required accessible elements shall be 296 00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:14,600 identified by the international symbol of accessibility at the listed locations 297 00:30:10,559 --> 00:30:14,600 in section 1112.1. 298 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:24,799 An image of the international symbol of accessibility is included on this slide. 299 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:30,399 Required accessible public toilet and bathing rooms shall be identified with 300 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:36,240 signs containing visual characters, raced characters, and braille. 301 00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:42,000 Pictograms may also be included on the sign, but they cannot take the place of 302 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:48,240 the characters. An image of a sign for an accessible 303 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:53,039 women's restroom, including a pictogram of a woman. The international symbol of 304 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:58,320 accessibility, the word woman and braille appears on 305 00:30:56,159 --> 00:31:04,480 this slide. The international symbol of 306 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:09,760 accessibility is only required if not all of the women's facilities are 307 00:31:07,039 --> 00:31:15,600 accessible. Directional signage shall be provided 308 00:31:12,559 --> 00:31:22,760 indicating the route to the nearest like accessible element at the locations 309 00:31:18,399 --> 00:31:22,760 listed in section 1112.3. 310 00:31:22,799 --> 00:31:32,200 Other signage indicating special accessibility provisions shall be 311 00:31:27,039 --> 00:31:32,200 provided as listed in section 1112.4. 312 00:31:32,559 --> 00:31:41,679 Where provided signs identifying permanent rooms and spaces shall include 313 00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:46,000 visual characters, raced characters, and braille. 314 00:31:43,279 --> 00:31:51,519 Pictograms may also be included on the signs, but they cannot take the place of 315 00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:57,039 the characters. Section E107 316 00:31:54,320 --> 00:32:01,279 in appendix E has more signage provisions. 317 00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:07,840 All right. Now let's look at the accessible means of egress. 318 00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:12,640 This is getting out of sites, buildings, structures, facilities, and spaces 319 00:32:10,159 --> 00:32:20,640 during a fire. Accessible means of egress provisions 320 00:32:15,039 --> 00:32:25,679 are found in section 1009 of chapter 10. To simplify this presentation and 321 00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:31,600 shoehorn it into the allotted time, this presentation assumes that an NFPA13 322 00:32:29,279 --> 00:32:38,240 or NFPA13R automatic sprinkler system is present. 323 00:32:35,279 --> 00:32:44,960 Accessible means of egress is required from all accessible spaces, not just 324 00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:50,720 those that are required to be accessible. 325 00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:57,760 If a space happens to be accessible, it requires accessible means of egress. 326 00:32:54,720 --> 00:33:02,559 If one means of egress is required, then that means of egress shall be an 327 00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:08,000 accessible means of egress. If more than one means of egress is 328 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:12,159 required, then not less than two accessible means of egress shall be 329 00:33:09,919 --> 00:33:17,760 provided. No more than two accessible means of 330 00:33:14,559 --> 00:33:22,399 egress are required from an accessible site, building, structure, facility, or 331 00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:28,840 space. Let's take a look at the actual text of 332 00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:28,840 section 1009.1. 333 00:33:29,279 --> 00:33:38,720 Section 1009.1. Accessible means of egress shall comply 334 00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:44,320 with this section. Accessible spaces shall be provided with not less than one 335 00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:50,240 accessible means of egress where more than one means of egress is required by 336 00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:55,760 section 1006.2 or 1006.3 337 00:33:52,720 --> 00:34:01,919 from an accessible space. Each accessible portion of the space shall be 338 00:33:58,799 --> 00:34:07,840 served by not less than two accessible means of egress. 339 00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:14,720 Notice that the term accessible means of egress is used, not the term exit access 340 00:34:11,919 --> 00:34:21,040 or exit. Section 1009.1 341 00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:26,639 requires the entire accessible means of egress to be provided, 342 00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:31,119 not just a quantity of exit accesses or exits. 343 00:34:28,240 --> 00:34:37,440 When two accessible means of egress are required, this section requires two 344 00:34:34,240 --> 00:34:42,480 separate egress paths, each containing separate exit access, exit, and exit 345 00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:49,839 discharge. Each separate accessible means of egress 346 00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:55,919 must extend to the public way and cannot be merged along the way. Otherwise, that 347 00:34:53,200 --> 00:35:02,800 would make them one accessible means of egress to the public way, not two. 348 00:34:59,839 --> 00:35:08,320 An accessible means of egress is not the same thing as an accessible route. 349 00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:14,560 A person with a disability may be able to get into a space unassisted using an 350 00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:19,359 accessible route, but that person may not be able to use that same accessible 351 00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:25,359 route to get out during the fire emergency. 352 00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:31,040 Assistance may be required when using an accessible means of egress. 353 00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:37,920 Section 1009.2 lists 10 components that can be used to 354 00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:44,320 make up an accessible means of egress. They are accessible routes, 355 00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:50,160 interior exit stairways, exit access stairways, 356 00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:56,960 exterior exit stairways, elevators, 357 00:35:52,000 --> 00:36:03,440 platform lifts, horizontal exits, ramps, areas of refuge, and exterior areas for 358 00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:07,680 assisted rescue. Notice that one of the components that 359 00:36:05,599 --> 00:36:15,839 can be used to make up an accessible means of egress is an accessible route. 360 00:36:11,599 --> 00:36:23,119 Accessible means of egress elevators. In buildings where a required accessible 361 00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:28,720 floor is four or more stories above the level of exit discharge, 362 00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:34,880 not less than one accessible means of egress elevator is required. 363 00:36:32,079 --> 00:36:42,240 An accessible means of egress elevator does not have to serve floors that are 364 00:36:38,240 --> 00:36:48,640 provided with a horizontal exit. In buildings where a required accessible 365 00:36:45,359 --> 00:36:54,640 floor is four or more stories below the level of exit discharge, 366 00:36:51,119 --> 00:36:59,680 not less than one accessible means of egress elevator is required. 367 00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:05,839 Horizontal exits do not exempt an accessible means 368 00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:09,839 of egress elevator in basement conditions. 369 00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:16,000 Stairways. An accessible means of egress stairway 370 00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:22,160 must have solid risers. It cannot be an exit access stairway 371 00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:28,640 connecting two levels in the same story except from a mezzanine. And it cannot 372 00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:34,640 be an exterior exit stairway within the exit discharge to public way portion of 373 00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:40,880 the accessible means of egress unless an exterior area for assisted rescue is 374 00:37:37,839 --> 00:37:45,680 provided on the egress side of the stair. 375 00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:51,359 A picture of a vertical platform lift next to a stairway inside a building is 376 00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:57,119 shown on this slide. Platform lifts are allowed as a 377 00:37:54,880 --> 00:38:03,200 component of an accessible means of egress in the same places they are 378 00:38:00,240 --> 00:38:11,119 allowed as a component of an accessible route as listed in section 1110.11 379 00:38:09,359 --> 00:38:18,320 except they are not allowed on an exterior site 380 00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:24,480 in lie of a ramp or elevator. A platform lift can be used as a 381 00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:30,400 component on an exterior site accessible route, but that same platform lift 382 00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:36,640 cannot be used as a component of an accessible means of egress. 383 00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:42,720 A picture of a vertical platform lift next to an exterior stair on an exterior 384 00:38:39,839 --> 00:38:48,160 site with a red X over the picture is shown on this slide. 385 00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:54,320 When an accessible route is not present for the exit discharge to public way 386 00:38:50,800 --> 00:39:00,960 part of the accessible means of egress, an exterior area for assisted rescue 387 00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:07,280 must be provided on the exterior landing of the exterior exit door. 388 00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:14,960 An exterior area for assisted rescue must have signage identifying the area. 389 00:39:12,079 --> 00:39:21,760 The exterior area for assisted rescue cannot be used for anything else. 390 00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:27,359 A two-way communication system is required at the landing of all passenger 391 00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:32,079 elevators, regardless of if the elevator is an accessible means of egress 392 00:39:29,119 --> 00:39:37,680 elevator or not. There are six exceptions to this. 393 00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:44,160 When an exit serves a required accessible space, but it is not part of 394 00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:50,400 an accessible means of egress, directional signage is required at that 395 00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:55,599 exit to show how to get to the accessible means of egress exit or 396 00:39:53,200 --> 00:40:02,400 exits. Okay, we are moving along. Now let's 397 00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:09,040 discuss the accessibility provisions in the IEC for existing buildings. 398 00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:16,079 Accessibility provisions are found in section 306 of the IEC. 399 00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:21,920 These provisions are applicable to all repairs, alterations, additions, change 400 00:40:19,599 --> 00:40:28,079 of occupancy, and relocation of buildings. Reducing the accessibility in 401 00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:32,079 an existing building below the level required for a new building is 402 00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:37,119 prohibited. Existing required accessible means of 403 00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:41,839 egress shall be maintained during construction. Approved temporary 404 00:40:39,839 --> 00:40:46,400 accessible means of egress may be utilized. 405 00:40:43,839 --> 00:40:52,000 Accessible means of egress that might be required by IBC chapter 10 are not 406 00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:56,079 required to be added to an existing building. 407 00:40:53,440 --> 00:41:01,599 If an existing building does not have accessible means of egress and it is in 408 00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:08,160 compliance with the code that it was permitted under, then accessible means 409 00:41:04,240 --> 00:41:13,599 of egress is not required to be added. Additions are new construction and must 410 00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:19,440 comply with the IBC. These requirements may extend into the 411 00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:24,319 existing building portion depending on the design of the combined new and 412 00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:29,599 existing portions. There are specific accessibility 413 00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:34,160 provisions in other sections of the IEBC that are based on the level of work 414 00:41:31,359 --> 00:41:40,319 being performed and the occupancy group of a space. Those appear in the 415 00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:44,960 appropriate chapters of the IEBC. One such example of a specific 416 00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:49,920 accessibility provision is found in section 905.4 417 00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:54,720 and it is for two-way communication systems for buildings with elevator 418 00:41:52,079 --> 00:42:00,400 service undergoing a level three alteration. 419 00:41:56,720 --> 00:42:05,839 There are no provisions in section 306 when a change of occupancy does not also 420 00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:11,119 include an alteration. When a change of occupancy also includes 421 00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:18,000 an alteration, the accessibility provisions for the alteration apply. 422 00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:25,040 A facility that is altered shall comply with the applicable provisions of IBC 423 00:42:20,720 --> 00:42:30,400 chapter 11 and the IEBC unless technically infeasible. 424 00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:35,200 The alteration shall provide access to the maximum extent technically feasible. 425 00:42:33,359 --> 00:42:40,160 However, it is very important to look up the 426 00:42:37,599 --> 00:42:46,640 definition of technically infeasible and not assume you know what it means before 427 00:42:42,720 --> 00:42:52,640 trying to utilize it in the design. Primary function is another important 428 00:42:49,359 --> 00:42:58,640 definition you need to be familiar with. Where an alteration affects an area of 429 00:42:55,200 --> 00:43:05,119 primary function or the accessibility of an area of primary function, the route 430 00:43:01,599 --> 00:43:10,000 to the area of primary function shall be accessible. 431 00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:16,000 Toilet facilities and drinking fountains serving that area of primary function 432 00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:22,000 and the route from the area of primary function to the toilet facilities and 433 00:43:18,319 --> 00:43:27,200 drinking fountains shall be accessible. The cumulative costs of providing the 434 00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:32,720 accessible route and the accessible toilet facilities and drinking fountains 435 00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:40,319 that serve the area of primary function are not required to exceed 20% of the 436 00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:46,319 cost of the alteration of the area of primary function. 437 00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:51,200 Type B dwelling units required by IBC section 1108 438 00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:55,680 are not required to be provided in existing buildings and facilities 439 00:43:53,440 --> 00:44:04,319 undergoing alterations that did not originally require type B 440 00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:10,720 units when the work area is 50% or less than the aggregate area of the building. 441 00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:18,160 An alteration of an existing type B dwelling unit must maintain the unit's 442 00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:22,800 compliance as a typeB unit unless it is altered into a type A unit or an 443 00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:28,720 accessible unit. If an existing building has type B 444 00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:35,839 units, that is a good indication that it is regulated by provisions of the FHA. 445 00:44:33,119 --> 00:44:41,200 Eliminating type B unit compliance during an alteration may be a federal 446 00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:45,200 civil rights violation. In existing buildings undergoing 447 00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:51,599 alterations, limited use, limited application or LULA 448 00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:57,040 elevators are allowed to be a component of an accessible route. 449 00:44:54,720 --> 00:45:02,400 In existing buildings undergoing alterations, vertical and incline 450 00:44:59,920 --> 00:45:08,400 platform lifts are allowed to be a component of an accessible route. Also, 451 00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:13,440 we previously discussed that Lula elevators and platform lifts are limited 452 00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:16,640 on where they can be used as components of an accessible route in new 453 00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:22,560 construction. In alterations to existing buildings, 454 00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:28,160 these limitations are not present. when additional toilet facilities are 455 00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:34,000 being added in occupancies where adult changing stations are required by IBC 456 00:45:31,119 --> 00:45:39,680 section 1110.4. Not fewer than one accessible family or 457 00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:48,160 assisted use toilet room with an adult changing station shall be provided in 458 00:45:42,240 --> 00:45:53,599 accordance with IBC section 1110.4. Historic structure alterations can 459 00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:59,160 comply with reduced accessibility requirements specified in section 460 00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:59,160 306.7.18. 461 00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:10,359 Now for the final document we'll be discussing the 2017 462 00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:10,359 edition of the ICA117.1. 463 00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:19,359 This book provides the minimum technical standards required to make an item 464 00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:26,400 accessible. It does not specify if an item is 465 00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:32,160 required. Only the IBC and the IEBC provide the scope of what elements must 466 00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:37,200 be provided and accessible. Just because an item is in this 467 00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:44,560 document, it does not mean that it is required by the IBC or the IEBC. 468 00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:53,119 A good example is the type C unit found in chapter 11 of this document. 469 00:46:48,240 --> 00:46:58,319 Neither the IBC or the IEBC require a type C unit. 470 00:46:56,079 --> 00:47:03,040 This presentation will limit the review of this document to the table of 471 00:47:00,319 --> 00:47:09,359 contents to give you an idea of what is covered in this document. 472 00:47:05,599 --> 00:47:16,240 Chapter 3, building blocks. Chapter four, accessible route. Chapter five, 473 00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:22,240 general site and building elements. Chapter six, plumbing elements and 474 00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:28,079 facilities. Chapter 7, communication elements and features. Chapter 8, 475 00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:35,440 special rooms and spaces. Chapter nine, furnishings and equipment. 476 00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:40,079 Chapter 10, recreational facilities. And chapter 11, dwelling units and sleeping 477 00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:45,599 units. Time for a pop quiz. 478 00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:50,960 A sequential picture of a person in a wheelchair launching from a launch ramp, 479 00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:56,880 flying through the air, and landing in a pit filled with soft foam blocks is 480 00:47:53,440 --> 00:48:04,440 shown on this slide. The question is, does this picture show 481 00:47:59,359 --> 00:48:04,440 a person using an accessible route? 482 00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:12,319 Well, although this person does not appear to need assistance to get from 483 00:48:10,079 --> 00:48:19,119 here to there, speed, launch ramp, hang time, and foam 484 00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:26,880 pit are not specifically listed as components of an accessible route. 485 00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:32,559 So, no, this is not an accessible route. We have come to the end of this training 486 00:48:29,119 --> 00:48:39,319 presentation.
