Subject: [bsp-forum] Updated base
Table attached has integrated some of the energy codes from energy
dictionary provided by Dave Conover at ICC.
Dark Gray bands - were in the base already and need to stay included
Light Gray bands - were in the actual firestation provided by Finith Jergenson
at Design Atlantic, some may merge up or down into existing
Trying to keep under 250 rows maximum
When sample images of a misc BIMstorm buildings are received from Kimon Onuma
at OPS, will confer with a small team here at WDG about what these buildings
might be made of and what codes need to be accommodated.
>From there, my plan is to make a fact sheet for each building showing a
thumbnail of the building elements and codes matrix along with assumptions
(slab on grade, brick, curtainwall) and a short list of service performance
requirements.
The point is to develop a compact data structure in simple excel able to
withstand a barrage of questions from local jurisdictions and emergency
responders to direct pathways to answers about the building from the building
specifications and applicable codes. Dave Conover at ICC has observed "From the BSP project it seems when describing
the purpose of a facility that one would want to tie that to the building use
group, space names and uses/users, etc. that come from the
codes. For instance "institutional facility (group I-1) used
as an assisted living facility for adults needing special medical
care" or " high hazard (group H-2) for storage of combustible
dusts or associated with manufacturing where combustible dusts will be
produced"
