Solaris Emergency Escape and Rescue Openings
Gentlemen,
If you know of the history in regards to amended this code section it would be helpful.
In that this building is treated as a high rise, I believe the exception applies unless it was required due to criteria of the fire model for this structure.
Thanks
Martin

Solaris Emergency Escape and Rescue Openings
Martin,
Per our telephone conversation today, I am sending this request for
clarification on the code requirement as enforced by Vail for emergency
escape and rescue openings.
2003 IBC, Section 1025, requires these openings for Group R occupancies.
However, exception 1 does not require them for buildings that are
sprinklered and exception 5 does not require them for buildings that are
considered high-rise buildings.
TOV has amended this section by deleting in their entirety, exception 1
and 4.
Since exception 5 has not been deleted by TOV amendments, are we allowed
to not provide emergency escape and rescue openings for Solaris?
Regards,
Brian Thompson, P.E.
