1. Identify the Building Code that applies in Noblesville by reviewing Section 154.04 Adoption of Rules by Reference in the Noblesville Code of Ordinances.
Article 14 - One and Two Family Dwelling Codes
2. Visit the Indiana Association of Building Officials website at http://www.iabo.com/ and follow the link to Current Codes. On which model code is the current Indiana Building Code based?
2006 International Building Code
3. Using the International Building Code, find the Use and Occupancy classification of the proposed new Keystone Building.
A-3 Assembly uses intended for worship, recreation or amusement
4. Using the International Building Code, describe each of the four types of construction. Based on the existing structure, under which of these types of construction could the Keystone Building fall? See section 503.1.
5. Compare the allowable Building Heights and Areas (IBC 2009 Table 503) for the Keystone Library using different construction types. What is the least restrictive construction type that can be used for the Keystone Library? Is a fire-protective layer required over the structural elements? Note: The letter A indicates that the structural members are protected by a fire-rated coating or cover (sheetrock, spray on, or another approved method). The letter B indicates that the structural members are not protected by an additional fire-rated coating or cover.
Type B is the least constructive type.
6. What materials do you propose to use for the new interior walls and floor for the Keystone Building? Justify your answer.
Fire treated wood interior, bricks, or MCU
7. Use the IBC to determine the Occupant Load (IBC 2009 Section 1004) for the Keystone Building assuming a second floor is added per the Keystone Library Renovation Preliminary Building plans (see Revit file). For now, conservatively assume that the second floor is entirely stacks and that the first floor is entirely reading rooms. In addition, because there is currently no plan to include an outside stairway to the roof, assume that the occupants of the green roof must exit through the 2nd floor. The building inspector has determined, based on the planned use of the green roof as additional reading area, that the occupant load for the green roof may be based on the requirements for reading rooms.
First Floor Area = 8833ft^2
8. The occupant load is used to determine the minimum egress width for the building. Use the IBC to determine the required total egress width (IBC 2009 Section 1005) for the Keystone Building including the second floor.
9. What is the minimum number of exits required for the Occupant Load (IBC 2009 Section 1021)?
10. Read IBC 2009 Section 1021.2. Is it permissible to have only a single exit from the ground floor? From the second floor? Justify your answers.

(3) Buffering for non-residential uses abutting residential uses;

4. Using the International Building Code, describe each of the four types of construction. Based on the existing structure, under which of these types of construction could the Keystone Building fall? See section 503.1.
1.) Steel Framing Encased in concrete
2.) Steel Framing

4.) Heavy timber
The Keystone building falls under all 4 types.
5. Compare the allowable Building Heights and Areas (IBC 2009 Table 503) for the Keystone Library using different construction types. What is the least restrictive construction type that can be used for the Keystone Library? Is a fire-protective layer required over the structural elements? Note: The letter A indicates that the structural members are protected by a fire-rated coating or cover (sheetrock, spray on, or another approved method). The letter B indicates that the structural members are not protected by an additional fire-rated coating or cover.

7.

For now, conservatively assume that the second floor is entirely stacks and that the first floor is entirely reading rooms. In addition, because there is currently no plan to include an outside stairway to the roof, assume that the occupants of the green roof must exit through the 2nd floor. The building inspector has determined, based on the planned use of the green roof as additional reading area, that the occupant load for the green roof may be based on the requirements for reading rooms.
First Floor Area = 8833ft^2
177 People can be on floor one
Second Floor area 4453ft2
45 people on floor two
Green Room Area 4380ft^2
88 people on green area
Total occupant load 310 people
8. The occupant load is used to determine the minimum egress width for the building. Use the IBC to determine the required total egress width (IBC 2009 Section 1005) for the Keystone Building including the second floor.
Total Express Width
311occupation total*.02inches =62.2 inches
Required star egress form 2nd floor
.03 inches * (44+88) occupants = 40.2 inches
9. What is the minimum number of exits required for the Occupant Load (IBC 2009 Section 1021)?
10. Read IBC 2009 Section 1021.2. Is it permissible to have only a single exit from the ground floor? From the second floor? Justify your answers.
Four exits are the minimum requirement. the reason is, we cant expect 310 people to all get out of one exit quickly, 4 exits would insure everyone is safe.
The answers to the following questions should be researched in the Noblesville Code of Ordinances and the Noblesville Zoning Map.
