Chapter 2- Standards, Codes and Permits Compare and contrast codes and standards. Explain the meaning of the term consensus standard. Discuss the organizations that develop national consensus standards. Describe a model code. Describe how codes and standards are kept current. Describe performance-based options. Explain how are developed locally. Explain the code adoption process. Explain the appeals process. Describe the code enforcement process. Describe the inspector’s role in the prosecution process. Participate in a legal proceeding. Describe the permit process. Recognize the need for a permit. Week 2 Chapter 3- Fire Behavior Describe physical and chemical changes of matter related to fire. Describe the four elements of the fire tetrahedron. Explain how the physical states of fuel affect the combustion process. Explain how oxygen concentration affects the combustion process. Explain the difference between heat and temperature. Describe sources of heat energy. Discuss the transmission of heat. Explain the self-sustained chemical reaction involved in the combustion process. Describe common products of combustion. Distinguish among classifications of fires. Describe the stages of fire development within a compartment. Summarize factors that affect fire development within a compartment. Describe methods used to control and extinguish fire. Chapter 4- Construction Types and Occupancy Classifications Describe each of the construction types defined by the model codes. Explain the purpose of occupancy classifications. Compare the occupancy classification groups used by the three main building codes. Describe the types of uses classified as assembly by the model building codes. Describe business and educational occupancies. Compare the factory, industrial, and high-hazard occupancies defined by each model code. Compare the International Code Council® (ICC®) institutional occupancies to the NFPA® occupancy classifications. Describe various institutional occupancies. Explain the primary concern or hazard in day-care occupancies. Describe the hazards usually associated with mercantile occupancies. Compare each of the residential occupancy classifications. Describe storage, utility, and miscellaneous occupancies. Determine the occupancy classification of a single-use occupancy.
