This parameter is evaluated in terms of Fire Safety, Means of Egress and General Safety. This parameter is a factor in Fire Safety because it affects the ability of the Fire Department to reach the fire. It is included in Means of gress because elevators equipped with the proper controls can be effectively used by the fire department to rescue building occupants from upper floors during a fire, and for fire fighting operations. Also, automatic elevator recall reduces the possibility of occupant exposure in elevator cabs to a fire on the fire floor.
Nothing in this evaluation exempts the building owner from complying with the CBC equiring manual and automatic elevator recall in existing buildings. The scoring for elevator controls based on type provided is as follows:
• None -7
• Fire department (manual) controls 0
• Automatic recall and fire department (manual) controls 3 (Elev. lobby smoke detection reqd.)
