Although it often takes several years for a new model code to be adopted in a particular jurisdiction, there are many changes to the codes and standards that are more like clarifications than actual changes. In addition to the importance of being aware of upcoming changes, the clarifications may be helpful immediately to demonstrate the intent of the code requirements. The 2024 editions of the I-Codes and the NFPA codes will include important changes related to door openings, and in this interactive class, Lori Greene will discuss the effects these modifications will have on the doors and hardware we specify, supply, and install. If you have questions about access control hardware that allows free egress, UL 294 vs. UL 1034, stairwell reentry, locks on elevator lobby doors, latching requirements in health care facilities, mandates for automatic operators on public entrances, or the newly-modified code section addressing flush bolts, don't miss this class! Learning Objectives: 1. Understand the model code changes affecting electrified hardware used for access control, stairwell reentry, elevator lobby doors, and other applications. 2. Become familiar with the new code section addressing manual and automatic flush bolts, as well as latching requirements for corridor and smoke barrier doors in health care facilities. 3. Learn about recent changes to requirements for automatic operators, including where operators are now mandated by code and when safety sensors are required.
