AC 048 - Elevator Hoistway Protection

In this video we discuss the need for hoistway protection and the options available, including lobbies, and whether the lobbies should be rated or not. And if so, the rating that is needed.

Great job.

[@yayaylb1]

Thank you for your videos. I have two questions. 1. Are cart lifts also considered hoistways, and do they need to comply with the same requirements as elevator hoistways? 2. Can the elevator lobby be shared with a waiting room. In other words, can a waiting space be in the elevator lobby, or do they have to be separate - one elevator lobby and one waiting room.

Great explanation 👏 I have a question, could you explain the difference between fire partion and smoke one ?

[@TAHIRHUSSAINMEPINDUSTRY]

Sir, Please make videos on Fire detection and protection equipment like fire detector, smoke detectors, sprinklers, hosereels, hydrants etc

[@gutiemv]

Thank you so much for your videos, they are very helpful. I was wondering if the video regarding Fire Department Access Elevators is still available, you mention Short 008 (8.48), but I couldn't find it. Thanks.

[@archicorner]

Now that yo mention it, I have not uploaded those shorts. I will look into it and upload them in the next few days. I must've forgotten (they were uploaded into my Patreon account a few months ago!).

Can you talk about draftstopping drywall

[@archicorner]

Good option!

[@ibrahimJa-fh2cx]

Thanks for the demonstration and the drawings! But just to confirm, when you mention "No Lobby," you mean either (no lobby) or (elevator lobby "that is not enclosed")? I just get a bit confused when it comes to the difference between Elevator Lobby and No Lobby ... I do not know the difference.

[@archicorner]

The entire video is about “elevator lobbies” if there is a specific point of the video that you need confirmation on, let me know the time stamp of the video your referencing 😊

I have a question, if I have a 4story building apartment, can avoid elevators per exception 1 of "1009.2.1 Elevators Required"

[@archicorner]

Chapter 10 is for EGRESS requirements. Per this section an elevator must meet certain requirements for EGRESS if the building has 4 or more stories. However, even if a building only had 2 stories, an elevator would most likely be required for ACCESSIBILITY purposes.

Can you do a video on how to calculate stairs??

[@archicorner]

I am not sure what you mean by how to calculate stairs. Please explain.
