Can an exit serve two buildings and be a separate building in and of itself?

[Papio Bldg Dept]

First, I said "Exiting by".Second a fire barrier does not create a horizontal exit nor does it separate buildings.

Thirdly, a fire barrier complying with Section 706 with a fire-resistance rating of not less than 2 hours can create a horizontal exit per 1022.2 (Separation) of the 2006 IBC...and therefore, would separate buildings, and, or refuge areas.

That was great LMAO

With your permission I may use it as a signature on the new ICC site

It is common knowledge, or should be, and therefore I have no copyright on it.

I am however, still trying to come up with a good acronym for the NEC. I am open to any suggestions...I am stuck on Nothings Ever Clear, but that is only really applicable to 20% of the code.

NEC = Not Even Close

NEC = Numerous Electrical Conundrums

NEC = Not-understood Electrical Code

NEC = National Electrical Confusion

I think we are on to something with the electrical confusion.

In Yoda-ese, it could translate to, "Not Electrical Contractor" does make.
