4. Course Description: The topic of this class is accessibility code requirements pertaining to door openings, and the class will be taught in a 1 vs. 100 game show format - with the presenter as the “1” and the attendees as the “100” (AKA “the mob”). Questions are progressively more difficult as the game/presentation continues. Each question is shown, answered by the mob using colored tent cards, and then the correct answer is discussed by the presenter.

Literature (NOTE: Architects have indicated they do not want a bunch of literature left behind. If you choose to take literature, just take one or two for the participants to look through. If they request more copies you can always bring them when you deliver their certificates.)
Preparing for the class:
Practice running through the slides several times before you give this course to be sure you understand the questions, answers and how the slides are animated.
Download the cards from
(File name: 1 vs 100 game cards.pub) Print enough for everyone to have a set each. The file can be printed on 8.5 x 11 card stock paper that folds in half. Laminating them will help them last longer and you can reuse them each time you present a 1 vs. 100 game.
During the class:
You will take the group through the questions asking them to hold up either their A, B, or C card to designate their answer.  If they are wrong, they can no longer play for the “prize”. 
Once you get down to 2-3 people (or if the group is small wait until you are down to one), note their names and let everyone start again so the group stays involved.
Once the hour is up or you have completed all the questions you can award prizes to the winners.
NOTE: Lori Green has offered to discuss the delivery of this class with anyone that wants to give it and would like more instruction.
Literature (NOTE: Architects have indicated they do not want a bunch of literature left behind. If you choose to take any Literature, just take one or two for the participants to look through. If they request more copies you can always bring them when you deliver their certificates.)

5. Learning Objectives
Upon successful completion of this course participants will be able to:
Apply the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act guidelines and ICC A117.1 standard to door openings in new and existing buildings.
Learn the basic requirements for fire door assemblies, including the NFPA 80 criteria for annual fire door assembly inspection.
Convey the intent of the door-related egress requirements, including the International Building Code and NFPA 101 – The Life Safety Code.
Identify the sections of the code related to electrified hardware, including delayed egress locks, stairwell reentry, and electromagnetic locks.

6. DECODED Edition * Introduce myself.
Today I’m going to go through some of the common code requirements related to door openings. I can’t possibly teach you everything, or you’ll all look like this: (unhide next slide) *

7. So I’m going to talk about some of the requirements, but I’m also going to give you some resources to help you after you get back to your desk.
Note to instructor: Take a couple of copies of the Fire and Life Safety Accessibility Code book. Architects have told us they do not want a lot of literature so there is no need to take one for everyone. If they want more you can always bring/send them when you deliver the certificates.
Enough codes for today.

8. I hate codes AND hardware,
and I mean it!

9. Which book?
Before we get started, I just want to go over a few basics. The first thing you need to know when you’re trying to get an answer to a code question, is where to look. Which code has been adopted in the area where the project is located, or if it’s an existing building - which code was in use when the building was built. That’s where you start. I’m going to talk about several different publications today.

10. Use Group or Occupancy Classification
Assembly
Business
Educational
Factory and Industrial
High Hazard
Institutional
Mercantile
Residential
Storage
Utility & Maintenance
The requirements change depending on the type of building. The needs for life safety in a school full of kids, for example, would be different than a residential occupancy where people spend a fair amount of time sleeping. So you need to know which occupancy type you’ve got, in order to interpret the codes.

11. Means of Egress
A continuous and unobstructed way of travel from any point in a building or structure to a public way
Not every door is an egress door.
Not every egress door has an exit sign.
And finally, what are the requirements of the door in question?
Is it a required door in a means of egress?
If not, the egress requirements may not apply. Is it required to be accessible? Is it a fire door?
So – a) which code are we referencing, b) what is the occupancy type, and c) what requirements does that particular door have to meet?
Ready to get started? We’re going to play…

12. 1 vs. 100!!!

13. Ask: how many of you have seen this game show on TV?
We’re going to play a modified version today. You all are “THE 100”, or what’s known on the show as “THE MOB”, and I am “THE ONE”. On the show, it’s common for the mob to boo and otherwise abuse the one, but I’m hoping you won’t boo me today. There are no cash prizes today, because…I am going to win. If all goes as planned, there will be some prizes for those of you who answer the most questions correctly.
When I show you the question, you display your answer using the card in front of you – turn the letter of the answer you think is correct toward me. If you get an answer wrong, turn the white side of the card toward me and leave it that way for the rest of the round. We’re on the honor system today, but also your buddies sitting next to you have their eye on you and they’re not going to let you cheat. After I display the answer I’ll talk a little about that code requirement. Everyone understand?
If you have questions about any of the code requirements I talk about, jot them down and I should have time to answer questions at the end. OK – let’s play!

29. These fire doors in the atrium are considered “high profile” and the architect wanted door pulls rather than levers.

This site has almost 4,500 members – many of them code officials. You can search previous posts, post a new question, or answer questions posted by others. It’s a great way to get insight from some AHJs.

82. Questions?

83. Thank You! This concludes the American Institute of Architects Continuing Education Systems Program

84. One of our team members, Lori Greene, posts to her blog “I dig hardware” regularly. Some of the posts are published each month in Doors & Hardware magazine, and there are a few other publications she writes for regularly. Those articles are all listed on the Articles page of her site.
Also our code booklet is shown here. I have a couple copies, which you can keep on your way out. If you want more just let me know. It covers some of the highlights from different codes and standards related to door openings. It’s also available in PDF format on Lori’s site.
Those are all tools you can access when you need them. You’ll also get a handout of the information from this presentation.
