Hello,
I am doing my first historic renovation project and looking for some guidance on how to apply the 2018 International Existing Building Code. The occupancy will not be changing. It is 5 Stories, but not a High Rise. We will be renovating over 50% of the building.

Questions -

1. How do you choose a Building Construction Type/Fire Protection Rating for Building Elements in Table 601 of the 2018 IBC?
2. How do you determine what the ratings should be for Exit Enclosures and Shaft Enclosures?

Thank you!
