Your tutorials are *ABSOLUTELY* THE BEST! THANK YOU for your professionalism, making complicated and boring codes understandable and interesting, and for the time you take out of your busy life to create such engaging videos.
Oh man I wish I had seen this video 6 years ago when I started working on multifamily projects. I’m an architect from Mexico and have been working in the US for an architecture firm in the multifamily studio. Your videos are helping me lot right now as I’m going through all of them! Thank you so much!
Thank you for your content. I think your supporters would pay just because you teach so well and it's all free . I appreciate these videos , they help so much !
Patron questionnaire: testing for IBC Commercial Inspectors guide and tips. Please note your existing tutorials are by far the clearest and best I have viewed regarding IBC topics. Thank you.
Your videos are great. Nothing boring about them at all. I have been studying the IBC in preparation of state exams for building inspector. You are helping me so much to understand better what I am reading. Thank you sir!!
Your channel is amazing. I want to do something similar when I’m licensed. Have 3 exams left. Wanted to say thank you for the wonderful and informative videos! 😎
As always, another valuable video , i hope to see a new video every week. Im mass sharing all your videos with my fellow Code officials and Building inspectors in the county im working in. Best of luck and thank you for sharing the knowledge. Would be great thou if we can have an episode about Elevators .
There is one issue I have with your explanation of the scenario @ 11:00; assuming that the direction of egress can be either way, you'd need to provide double egress frames, at least at the capacities you've stated, as well as accounting for loading width in each direction, do you agree?
There are at least two options. Option 1: As you stated, have double-egress frames or Option 2: Have two sets of doors with each set of doors opening in opposite directions. I believe you understand the concept correctly.
Thank you for the explanation. Best one I've seen yet. One question, is the Refuge Area only needed if the two areas are two different tenants? If it is a single tenant floor, then the refuge area is not needed? They just exit straight through one side to the other. Did I understand that correctly? Thanks Again!
Thank you for your great lectures...btw, could you explain about re-entry for firestair/fireshaft door issue, that stated on NFPA . I still have some confusions about this issue. Thanks a lot
I think a Patreon account is a great idea. Different patreon levels with different rewards. Some ideas I would have is that the videos would be provided to Patreon members ahead of the TH-cam publish. Access to patreon feed that would be the pool from which recommendations would be drawn for future videos. Maybe some "Archicorner trained" merch or something along those lines. Patron name listed on Archicorner video or page. If you decided to do some sort of live stream for a Q&A session, that would be a higher level. Lots of possibilities.
Doors need to swing in the direction of egress. Confused yet? This may get complicated quick... In short, you may need one door swing in one direction and another swinging in the other direction. This allows the horizontal exit to serve both sides.
Hi sir, thank you for all your amazing videos. Questions regarding the horizontal distance, do they have to be connected with a vertical exit or is it okay that they do not lead to a way that will take people outside of the building? If a corridor has a 2 hour rating, can it be counted as horizontal exit? If so, what is the different between an exist passage way and horizontal exit? Thank you!
Hello Sir, I am grateful to have acome across archi corner. You are really amazing! I had a question and a request: #Question- In case of multistory buildings, do we require to have horizontal exit spaced (refuge areas) on all the floors if we choose to introduce this concept? #Request: Please make a video on Industrial buildings ( F and H group) that will explain difference between F and H groups. Elaborate H-1 to H-5 categories based on Table 307.1. How to figure out which class and group my industrial building fits in etc etc. NFPA 101 mentions a different catagory "special purpose industrial occupancy". What is the definition of this term and more info. Requesting to throw some light on this topic. Thank you!
"Exit enclosure" is a term that is often used, but not really an IBC term (you wont find a definition for "exit enclosure" in chapter 2). The IBC talks about "enclosures" and "exits". Some "enclosures" may lead to or be part of and "exit" and for that reason it may be referred to as an "exit enclosure". For example, a stairwell might be built as an "enclosure". Perhaps that is why people sometimes use the term "exit enclosure" to refer to them or similar items. In short, a horizontal exit would not be the same as exit enclosure simply because the IBC doesn't even have "exit enclosures".
Can this refuge area minimum sf be used as the "walkway clear space" in the side of space B or A, with 6 or 8' feet clear width and length from the horizontal exit door to the actual exterior exit door (no starir cases, one story bldg)?
Can you please provide an example explaining "where two or more exits are required, not more than one-half of the total number of exits or total exit minimum width or required capacity shall be horizontal exits"
It is NOT that they HAVE TO BE horizontal exits. Instead, IF you are using horizontal exits, you are limited to the number of horizontal exits that you may have. I hope that makes sense.
Just for clarification, the horizontal exit does not have to extend through the building vertically does it? Meaning it would create the horizontal exit through the building/floors.
A horizontal exit does not extend "through".... Instead, you can think of it as it is extending "up to" and/or "connecting to" the building's main exit system. In most instances, this means extending to and connecting to a stairwell.
Required widths are determined by occupancy loads. Take a look at episode #011. Different occupancy groups may have different occupant loads but the process is similar for all.
This channel is focused on the application of architecture in a working environment. By default, many videos will provide a greater insight that may help your understanding of architecture. However, to answer your question directly: Are there any videos made specifically for the ARE: the answer is: "not yet". Maybe in the future.
Sir, may I have your mail address? So that I can ask you questions. I am from Bangladesh and it will help you to understand what is practicing in our country and make videos to help us.
You are always welcome to contact me. My email address is info@archicorner.com However, please know that as of now, I do not offer consultation services. Maybe I can do that in the future.

Thank you!
Another awesome video!!! you couldn't explain horizontal exits any better. I have shared your videos with my colleagues
Awesome, thank you! and thank you for sharing the videos too!
I would love to see a video explaining the difference between chapter 3 occupancy, classifications, and chapter 10 function of space

I believe you understand the concept correctly.
Patreon is probably not necessary. You might be completed to post more than you want. Your channel is excellent, I am sharing it with junior staff.
an excellent explanation of the topic. Very useful . Thank you !
Glad you enjoyed it!
fantastic.thank you for making these type of videos
Glad you like them!

Those sound like good options. So far, you have been the only one to reply. Let's see how much traction this gets. Merci beaucoup !
Thank you archicorner, how about the door type and direction on separation wall?
That was an awesome intro!
Thank you!!! Glad you liked it.
Can you please explain evacuation strategies?

Thanks, will do!
I like new intro
Thanks!!!
Also, the thumbnail on this is awesome!
Merci beaucoup !
Thanks men.
You're welcome
Its great. But what should be the door swinging direction? Should I install two fire doors?
Doors need to swing in the direction of egress. Confused yet? This may get complicated quick... In short, you may need one door swing in one direction and another swinging in the other direction. This allows the horizontal exit to serve both sides.

Great explanation Josué! Do you have a video on smoke compartments?
Not yet, but that sounds like a good subject. Thank you for the suggestions and leaving a comment. :)

What is the definition of this term and more info.
Requesting to throw some light on this topic.

Thank you for your kind words. I will add this subject to my list. Thank you!
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Thank you for creating this wonderful channel and intro is perfect. Question on this video. Would a horizontal exit be the same as an exit enclosure?
also can you explain why this would not be the same as an Area of Refuge?
"Exit enclosure" is a term that is often used, but not really an IBC term (you wont find a definition for "exit enclosure" in chapter 2). The IBC talks about "enclosures" and "exits". Some "enclosures" may lead to or be part of and "exit" and for that reason it may be referred to as an "exit enclosure". For example, a stairwell might be built as an "enclosure".

In short, a horizontal exit would not be the same as exit enclosure simply because the IBC doesn't even have "exit enclosures".
Can this refuge area minimum sf be used as the "walkway clear space" in the side of space B or A, with 6 or 8' feet clear width and length from the horizontal exit door to the actual exterior exit door (no starir cases, one story bldg)?
Is the horizontal exit the same as the "safe area" per Public Assembly? Is there a rating associated with a horizontal exit?
How abouth the size of the door to passed the occupant of 400 on the second scenario?
Can you please provide an example explaining "where two or more exits are
required, not more than one-half of the total number of exits or total exit minimum width or required capacity shall be horizontal exits"
It is NOT that they HAVE TO BE horizontal exits. Instead, IF you are using horizontal exits, you are limited to the number of horizontal exits that you may have. I hope that makes sense.
@archicorner do you do code check. I need a code reviewer for a small job.
Not at the moment. Sorry 😞
Nice intro
Thank you!!! glad you liked it.
super
Thank you
Just for clarification, the horizontal exit does not have to extend through the building vertically does it? Meaning it would create the horizontal exit through the building/floors.
A horizontal exit does not extend "through".... Instead, you can think of it as it is extending "up to" and/or "connecting to" the building's main exit system. In most instances, this means extending to and connecting to a stairwell.
Excellent efforts, what about minimum aisles width in different occupancy groups, none of your videos touch it.- -📈🙏
Required widths are determined by occupancy loads. Take a look at episode #011. Different occupancy groups may have different occupant loads but the process is similar for all.
What is the difference between a horizontal exit and fire wall?
A horizontal exit is an exit system composed of, amongst other things, fire rated walls.
😧🤯
Hello There Jenny! Thank you for leaving me a message!
1st time viewing. The intro certainly is lively, but It doesn’t seem to fit the page. I did enjoy your informative video.
Thanks for leaving a comment 😊
I don't find this stuff boring at all; is there something wrong with me?
Would a double egress opening work?
(PUSH TO EXIT)
th-cam.com/video/MNqWcbb4umY/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/bLnGnPDzjhc/w-d-xo.html
In theory; YES. So long as all the door requirements are met (for example door width) the answer is YES!
