CLASS DESCRIPTION

Various types of elevators are found in both low and high-rise buildings. Among these elevators are Hydraulic and Traction (Electric) Elevators with driving machines installed in dedicated spaces referred  to as "Elevator Machine Rooms" while Machine-Room-Less (MRL) elevators have their hoisting machines installed directly inside the elevator hoistway. This class will discuss and clarify specific all the lates code requirements of NFPA 72 (National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code) and NFPA 13 (Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems) requirements associated with these elevators, both in buildings provided with "Building Fire Alarm Systems" and those without.  Specific 2025 NFPA 72, NFPA 13 (MAJOR CHANGES) and the 2022 edition of ASME A17.1 code terms, such as Dedicated Function FA System for Elevator Recall and Supervisory, Phase-I Emergency Recall Operation, Phase-II In-Car Emergency Operation, Designated and Alternate Recall levels and Shunt-Trip Function will be discussed and clarified. Also, per the 2022 NFPA 1225 (Adopted in CA since 7/1/2024) - All elevator cars are classified as critical areas for radio coverage and will require 99% coverage. This class will discuss this new requirement and the new provisions in ASME A17.1-2022 to allow leaky coaxial cables and RRUs inside elevator hoistways. This class will also discuss the latest IBC/CBC Chapter 30 requirement for live communication inside elevator cars and CA Group 4/5 Regulations.

Chapter 30 of the 2022 CBC was completely modified and includes significant changes related to Elevators and sprinkler protection, gurney size, etc.  based on a CA State Elevator Task Group work. These changes were effective in CA on 7/1/2021 and they are now included in the 2022 CBC.

The NEW 2025 editions of  NFPA -72 and  NFPA-13 will be presented and discuss with Major changes in NFPA 13 regarding sprinkler omissions and protection of hoistways and machine room and suspension means.

The latest 2022 editions of NFPA 1225 (ERCES)  and ASME A17.1 (National elevator Code) will be presented and discuss.

The new editions of 2024 IBC and IFC and the 2025 CBC and CFC will be discussed.


LEARNING OBJECTIVES/OUTCOMES

  1. After attending this class, participants should be able to understand and define the different type of elevators in low and high-rise buildings such as Hydraulic, Traction, Machine-Room-Less (MRL), Passenger, Freight, Service, Destination-Dispatch, and Limited-Use-Limited-Application Elevators (LULAs).
  2. Participants should be able to identify all building and life safety codes, NFPA 13,  72 and 1225  standards and ASME A17.1 elevator code, associated with elevator emergency operation and the cross references between these codes and standards.
  3. Understand basic Fire Emergency Operation (FEO) terms such as, Phase-I emergency recall operations and Phase -II in-car emergency operation, elevator power shunt trip, Fire Emergency Operation (FEO), dedicated function fire alarm system for elevator recall and supervisory, Designated and Alternate Recall Levels, Firefighters' Flashing Helmet, and other Fire-Elevator associated terms
  4. Understand the specific requirements of NFPA 13 (sprinkler code) and NFPA 72 (fire alarm and signaling code) for interfacing elevator controls with these systems. Understand and learn how to apply specific NFPA 72 Chapters 21 and 23 and NFPA 13 Chapter 8 and NFPA 1225  interface requirements to existing and new elevators both in buildings provided with "Building Fire Alarm Systems" and/or Sprinkler systems and those buildings without Fire Protection Systems.
  5. Understand specific California State elevator safety requirements such as CCR-Title 8 Elevator Safety Orders (ESO) for Group 2, 3 and 4 Existing and NEW  elevators and IBC-2021/CBC-2022/2025 exempt locations of sprinklers in elevator associated spaces.
