A short list of concepts that we have been following is listed below:
- Education facilities as storm shelters
- Enhanced classroom acoustics
- Carbon monoxide detection in Group E occupancies
- Locking arrangements in educational occupancies
- Interior lighting power allowances for classrooms
- Occupancy sensors for classrooms
- Automatic control of receptacle power in classrooms and laboratories
- Expansion of voltage drop requirements into customer-owned service conductors
There are others which we cover during our monthly I-Codes teleconferences. See our CALENDAR for the next online meeting.
Real asset managers for school districts, colleges, universities and technical schools in the Las Vegas region should take advantage of the opportunity to observe the ICC code-development process. The ICC Code Development Process is one of the best in the land, and the webcasts are appreciated, the experience of seeing how building codes are determined is enlightening when you can watch it live and on site. It is not too late for our colleagues in the Las Vegas region to register for the conference.

Industrial Building Measurement
Murales Rivera – Markt in Tlatelolco
The Building Owners and Managers Association International (BOMA) is an accredited consensus standard developer of a few consensus products that inform facility management practice of private and public industry. BOMA has initiated the process of revising its Gross Areas measurement standard Z65.2 for Industrial Buildings: Standard Methods of Measurement. The primary objectives of this standard are:
- To promote an unambiguous framework for determining the areas of Industrial Buildings with a strong focus on Rentable Area calculations.
- To facilitate transparency and clear communication of building measurement concepts among all participants in the commercial real estate industry.
- To allow a comparison of values on the basis of a clearly understood and generally agreed upon method of measurement.
- To align concepts and measurement methodologies with the International Property Measurement Standards: Industrial Buildings (January 2018) document.
Comments are due November 4th.
You may obtain an electronic review copy from: tjohnston@boma.org; lprats@boma.org. Send comments (with optional copy to psa@ansi.org) to: tjohnston@boma.org; lprats@boma.org
We keep all BOMA standards on the standing agenda of our monthly Facility Management standards teleconference. See our CALENDAR for the next online meeting; open to everyone.
