Committee Statement

FR-465 The proposed text of 11.8.8 provides additions to the current provision of the code that have the potential to help the fire service, other fire safety personnel and building management to effectively monitor and manage egress during an emergency in a building. The use of equipment that would provide real time data to building’s emergency command centers could lead to better direction of building evacuations and provide the ability for the commandcenter to see conditions throughout the building. This would allow building officials and the fire service to observe if an egress route has become untenable and where they can most effectively redistribute occupants in the building, thus increasing the levels of life safety to occupants throughout the building. A concern regarding privacy of occupants has been raised in the past. However, in a report, “Public Perceptions of High-Rise Building Safety and Emergency Evacuation Procedures” completed for HRB-SAC in 2007 by the Fire Protection Research Foundation, it was found that very few persons have concern over privacy issues if their exit stairwells were equipped with video cameras. When asked about their level of concern over privacy issues if the exit stairwells in their building were equipped with video cameras to permitmonitoring of stairwells during evacuations, about nine out of ten respondents (89 percent) reported they would not be concerned at all. Of the remaining, 7 percent reported they would be somewhat concerned and 3 percent would be very concerned. The High Rise Building Safety Advisory Committee (HRB-SAC) concluded that while this language would provide the ability to better manage and control egress through real-time management, at this time it is only feasible for it to be included in new high-rise buildings with occupant loads of over 4000. The topic of improving situation awareness of what happens in exit stairs during an evacuation is seen as an important topic with regards to occupant life safety and one worthy of new attention in the Code. The proposed language is being submitted for the high-rise building section, 11.8, as the proposed text is strictly a high rise building issue and should be located, along with the other high rise specific issues in the Code. The HRB-SAC committee recognizes that Section 11.8 is applicable to all new high-rise buildings, thus the intent of proposed text is to be applicable to new buildingsonly. Several issues were highlighted in response to the proposed textregarding video monitoring that was submitted during the Public Input stage. This committee has carefully reviewed and evaluated the concerns and responses that were outlined and has addressed all applicable issues in this submission along with the proposed corresponding Annex language (See Section A.11.8.8.1.) The language has been revised from the Public Input stage to more clearly identify the requirements and installation of video monitoring equipment, how it can interface with a building security system, and where it needs to be located. Along with that, references to NFPA 731 and NFPA 72 have been added, as the expert documents on the installation of premises security systems and detection systems. NFPA 731 can be used to provide guidance for combined security and video monitoring systems. The proposed Annex language addresses the benefits of such a system, the performance of the system, and sample design solutions. In addition, the proposed Annex language provides operational criteria that should be taken into consideration when designing and installing the video monitoring equipment. It was not of the opinion of this committee that specific operational and performance criteria be identified in the body of the Code. The performance and operation of the system should be verified with the AHJ to best meet the needs of the building. This public input was prepared by the NFPA High Rise Building Safety Advisory Committee.

A.4.8.2.1(3)It is assumed that a majority of buildings will use a total evacuation strategy during a fire. It should be noted that evacuation from a building could occur for reasons other than a fire, but such other reasons are not the primary focus of the Code. As used herein, total evacuation is defined as the process in which all, or substantially all, occupants leave a building or facility in either an unmanaged or managed sequence or order. An alternative to total evacuation is partial evacuation, which can be defined as the process in which a select portion of a building or facility is cleared or emptied of its occupants while occupants in other portions mostly carry on normal activity. In either case, the evacuation process can be ordered or managed in accordance with an established priority in which some or all occupants of a building or facility clear their area and utilize means of egress routes. This is typically done so that the more-endangered occupants are removed before occupants in less-endangered areas. Alternative terms describing this sequencing or ordering of evacuation are staged evacuation and phased evacuation.

Table A.4.8.2.1(3) illustrates options for extent of management and extent of evacuation. Some of the options shown might not be appropriate. As noted in Table A.4.8.2.1(3) , either total or partial evacuation can include staged (zoned) evacuation or phased evacuation, which is referred to as managed or controlled evacuation. It should also be noted that the evacuation process might not include relocation to the outside of the building but might instead include relocation to an area of refuge or might defend the occupants in place to minimize the need for evacuation.

The different methods of evacuation are also used in several contexts throughout the Code. Though most of the methods of evacuation are not specifically defined or do not have established criteria, various sections of the Code promulgate them as alternatives to total evacuation. The following sections discuss these alternatives in more detail:

(1) Section 4.7 — Provides requirements for fire and relocation drills

(2) 7.2.12 — Provides requirements for area of refuge

(3) 7.2.4 — Provides requirements for horizontal exits




of 39

(4) 9.6.3.6 — Provides the alarm signal requirements for different methods ofevacuation

(5) 9.6.3.9 — Permits automatically transmitted or live voice evacuation or relocation instructions to occupants and requires them in accordance withNFPA 72, National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code

(6) 14.3.4.2.3 (also Chapter 15) — Describes alternative protection systems in educational occupancies

(7) 18.1.1.2/18.1.1.3/Section 18.7 (also Chapter 19) — Provide methods of evacuation for health care occupancies

(8) Chapters 22 and 23 — Provide methods of evacuation for detention and correctional occupancies, including the five groups of resident user categories

(9) Chapters 32 and 33 — Provide methods of evacuation for residential board and care occupancies

(10) 32.1.5/33.1.5 — For residential board and care occupancies, state that “no means of escape or means of egress shall be considered as complying with the minimum criteria for acceptance, unless emergency evacuation drills are regularly conducted”

(11) 40.2.5.2.2 — For industrial occupancies, states that “ancillary facilities inspecial-purpose industrial occupancies where delayed evacuation is anticipated shall have not less than a 2-hour fire resistance–rated separation from the predominant industrial occupancy and shall have one means of egress that is separated from the predominant industrial occupancy by 2-hour fire resistance–rated construction”

The method of evacuation should be accomplished in the context of the physical facilities, the type of activities undertaken, and the provisions for the capabilities of occupants (and staff, if available). Therefore, in addition to meeting the requirements of the Code, or when establishing an equivalency or a performance-based design, the following recommendations and general guidance information should be taken into account when designing, selecting, executing, and maintaining a method of evacuation:

(1) When choosing a method of evacuation, the available safe egress time (ASET) must always be greater than the required safe egress time (RSET).

(2) The occupants’ characteristics will drive the method of evacuation. For example, occupants might be incapable of evacuating themselves because of age, physical or mental disabilities, physical restraint, or a combination thereof. However, some buildings might be staffed with people who could assist in evacuating. Therefore, the method of evacuation is dependent on the ability of occupants to move as a group, with or without assistance. For more information, see the definitions under the term Evacuation Capability in Chapter 3.

(3) An alternative method of evacuation might or might not have a faster evacuation time than a total evacuation. However, the priority of evacuation should be such that the occupants in the most danger are given a higher priority. This prioritization will ensure that occupants more intimate with the fire will have a faster evacuation time.

(4) Design, construction, and compartmentation are also variables in choosing a method of evacuation. The design, construction, and compartmentation should limit the development and spread of a fire and smoke and reduce the need for occupant evacuation. The fire should be limited to the room or compartment of fire origin. Therefore, the following factors need to be considered:

(a) Overall fire resistance rating of the building




of 39

(b) Fire-rated compartmentation provided with the building

(c) Number and arrangement of the means of egress

(5) Fire safety systems should be installed that compliment complement the method of evacuation, and should include consideration of the following:

(a) Detection of fire

(b) Control of fire development

(c) Confinement of the effects of fire

(d) Extinguishment of fire

(e) Provision of refuge or evacuation facilities, or both

(6) One of the most important fire safety systems is the fire alarm and communication system, particularly the notification system. The fire alarm system should be in accordance with NFPA 72, National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code, and should take into account the following:

(a) Initial notification of only the occupants in the affected zone(s) (e.g., zone of fire origin and adjacent zones)

(b) Provisions to notify occupants in other unaffected zones to allow orderly evacuation of the entire building

(c) Need for live voice communication

(d) Reliability of the fire alarm and communication system

(7) The capabilities of the staff assisting in the evacuation process should be considered in determining the method of evacuation.

(8) The ability of the fire department to interact with the evacuation should be analyzed. It is important to determine if the fire department can assist in the evacuation or if fire department operations hinder the evacuation efforts.

(9) Evacuation scenarios for hazards that are normally outside of the scope of the Code should be considered to the extent practicable. (See 4.3.1.)

(10) Consideration should be given to the desire of the occupants to self-evacuate, especially if the nature of the building or the fire warrants evacuation in the minds of the occupants. Self-evacuation might also be initiated by communication between the occupants themselves through face-to-face contact, mobile phones, and so forth.

(11) An investigation period, a delay in the notification of occupants after the first activation of the fire alarm, could help to reduce the number of false alarms and unnecessary evacuations. However, a limit to such a delay should be established before a general alarm is sounded, such as positive alarm sequence, as defined in NFPA 72, National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code.

(12) Consideration should be given to the need for an evacuation that might be necessary for a scenario other than a fire (e.g., bomb threat, earthquake).

(13) Contingency plans should be established in the event the fire alarm and communication system fail, which might facilitate the need for total evacuation.

(14) The means of egress systems should be properly maintained to ensure thedependability of the method of evacuation.

(15) Fire prevention policies or procedures, or both, should be implemented that reduce the chance of a fire (e.g., limiting smoking or providing fire-safe trash cans).




of 39

(16) The method of evacuation should be properly documented, and written forms of communication should be provided to all of the occupants, which might include sign postings throughout the building. Consideration should be given to the development of documentation for an operation and maintenance manual or a fire emergency action plan, or both.

(17) Emergency egress drills should be performed on a regular basis. For more information, see Section 4.7.

(18) The authority having jurisdiction should also be consulted when developing the method of evacuation.

Measures should be in place and be employed to sequence or control the order of a total evacuation, so that such evacuations proceed in a reasonably safe, efficient manner. Such measures include special attention to the evacuation capabilities and needs of occupants with disabilities, either permanent or temporary. For comprehensive guidance on facilitating life safety for such populations, go to www.nfpa.org. For specific guidance on emergency stair descent travel devices, see A.7.2.12.2.3 (2) ANSI/RESNA ED-1, Emergency Stair Travel Devices Used by individuals with Disabilities .

In larger buildings, especially high-rise buildings, it is recommended that allevacuations — whether partial or total — be managed to sequence or control theorder in which certain occupants are evacuated from their origin areas and to make use of available means of egress. In high-rise buildings, the exit stairs, at any level, are designed to accommodate the egress flow of only a very small portion of the occupants — from only one or a few stories, and within a relatively short time period — on the order of a few minutes. In case of a fire, only the immediately affected floor(s) should be given priority use of the means of egress serving that floor(s). Other floors should then be given priority use of the means of egress, depending on the anticipated spread of the fire and its combustion products and for the purpose of clearing certain floors to facilitate eventual fire service operations. Typically, this means that the one or two floors above and below a fire floor will have secondary priority immediately after the fire floor. Depending on where combustion products move — , for example, upwards through a building with cool-weather stack effect — , the next priority floors will be the uppermost occupied floors in the building.

Generally, in order to minimize evacuation time for most or all of a relatively tall building to be evacuated, occupants from upper floors should have priority use of exit stairs. For people descending many stories of stairs, this priority will maximize their opportunity to take rest stops without unduly extending their overall time to evacuate a building. Thus, the precedence behavior of evacuees should be that people already in an exit stair should normally not defer to people attempting to enter the exit stair from lower floors, except for those lower floors most directlyimpacted by a fire or other imminent danger. Notably, this is contrary to the often observed behavior of evacuees in high-rise building evacuations where lower floor precedence behavior occurs. (Similarly, in the most commonly observed behavior of people normally disembarking a passenger airliner, people within the aisle defer to people entering the aisle, so that the areas closest to the exit typically clear first.) Changing, and generally managing, the sequence or order in which egress occurs will require effectively informing building occupants and evaluating resulting performance in a program of education, training, and drills.

When designing the method of evacuation for a complex building, all forms of egress should be considered. For example, consideration could be given to an elevator evacuation system. An elevator evacuation system involves an elevator design that provides protection from fire effects so that elevators can be used safely for egress. See 7.2.13 and A.7.2.12.2.4 for more information.

Second Revision No. 22-NFPA 101-2013 [ New Section after

A.11.8.6 ]

A.11.8.8.1With video systems, such as standard CCTV security systems typically installed in high-rise buildings, real-time images of occupants’ and emergency responders’ presence and movement (or lack thereof) in exits, especially at multiple locations of the same exit stairway, can provide critical information about current and developing conditions that should be taken into account in emergency management in accordance with the building’s Emergency Action Plan.

Having video cameras positioned to capture images of an exit stairway, including just prior to the discharge doorway from the exit, provides information on the number and flow (in persons per minute, for example) of the occupants, among other information, including access by responding fire fighters using stairs if elevators are not available. It is not essential that the camera views and image resolution be sufficient to identify specific individuals. Depending on the context (including security applications), such specific-person identification might be essential, desirable, undesirable or forbidden. For post-incident evaluation and analysis of egress performance, it is helpful to have image quality and camera angle such that the lateral and front-to-back positions of individuals, relative to the stair width, are clear.

For example, a high-rise building could have cameras at the ground level (assuming this is the level of exit discharge) and at every fifth floor above, and perhaps below grade, for each of the exit stairs. As well as providing a reasonable sampling of evacuee presence and movement within the exit stair system (information important for real-time situation awareness), a comparison of times at which particular individuals pass different cameras provides important data on evacuation movement speed and (indirectly) average occupant density, in addition to flow and number of evacuees overall.

When designing and installing a video monitoring system, and in conjunction with the authority having jurisdiction, the following items should be considered in the operation of the system:

(1) Inspection, testing, and maintenance of equipment

(2) Duration/hours of operation

(3) Storage and retention of information

(4) Activation of the system

(5) Integration with the building’s emergency action plan

The proposed text of 11.8.8 provides additions to the current provision of the code that have the potential to help the fire service, other fire safety personnel and building management to effectively monitor and manage egress during anemergency in a building. The use of equipment that would provide real timedata to building’s emergency command centers could lead to better direction of building evacuations and provide the ability for the command center to see conditions throughout the building. This would allow building officials and the fire service to observe if an egress route has become untenable and where they can most effectively redistribute occupants in the building, thus increasing the levels of life safety to occupants throughout the building. A concern regarding privacy of occupants has been raised in the past. However, in a report, “Public Perceptions of High-Rise Building Safety and Emergency Evacuation Procedures” completed for HRB-SAC in 2007 by the Fire Protection Research Foundation, it was found that very few persons have concern over privacy issues if their exit stairwells were equipped with video cameras. When asked about their level of concern over privacy issues if the exit stairwells in their building were equipped with video cameras to permitmonitoring of stairwells during evacuations, about nine out of ten respondents (89 percent) reported they would not be concerned at all. Of the remaining, 7 percent reported they would be somewhat concerned and 3 percent would be very concerned. The High Rise Building Safety Advisory Committee (HRB-SAC) concluded that while this language would provide the ability to better manage and control egress through real-time management, at this time it is only feasible for it to be included in new high-rise buildings with occupant loads of over 4000. The topic of improving situation awareness of what happens in exit stairs during an evacuation is seen as an important topic with regards to occupant life safety and one worthy of new attention in the Code. The proposed language is being submitted for the high-rise building section, 11.8, as the proposed text is strictly a high rise building issue and should be located, along with the other high rise specific issues in the Code. The HRB-SAC committee recognizes that Section 11.8 is applicable to all new high-rise buildings, thus the intent of proposed text is to be applicable to new buildingsonly. Several issues were highlighted in response to the proposed textregarding video monitoring that was submitted during the Public Input stage. This committee has carefully reviewed and evaluated the concerns and responses that were outlined and has addressed all applicable issues in this submission along with the proposed corresponding Annex language (See Section A.11.8.8.1.) The language has been revised from the Public Input stage to more clearly identify the requirements and installation of video monitoring equipment, how it can interface with a building security system, and where it needs to be located. Along with that, references to NFPA 731 and NFPA 72 have been added, as the expert documents on the installation of premises security systems and detection systems. NFPA 731 can be used to provide guidance for combined security and video monitoring systems. The proposed Annex language addresses the benefits of such a system, the performance of the system, and sample design solutions. In addition, the proposed Annex language provides operational criteria that should be taken into consideration when designing and installing the video monitoring equipment. It was not of the opinion of this committee that specific operational and performance criteria be identified in the body of the Code. The performance and operation of the system should be verified with the AHJ to best meet the needs of the building. This public input was prepared by the NFPA High Rise Building Safety Advisory Committee. The HRB-SAC members are: James Quiter (Chair), Arup Geoff Craighead, UniversalProtection Service Jon Magnusson, National Council of Structural EngineersAssociations John Miller, Los Angeles City Fire Department Jack Murphy, Fire Safety Directors Association of Greater New York Steven Nilles, Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat Jake Pauls, American Public Health Association Jim Shea, Tishman Speyer William Stewart, Metropolitan Fire Chiefs-IAFC Sally Regenhard, The Skyscraper Safety Campaign Charles
