The proposal, Clearinghouse Rule 23-007, aimed to update chapter SPS 361-366 of the state’s commercial building code for existing buildings to ensure that commercial codes are consistent with “dynamic, contemporary regional and national construction and fire prevention practices and standards.” The proposed changes address administrative procedures, electrical systems, elevators, escalators, lift devices, gas systems, boilers and pressure vessels, plumbing, cleaning methods for historic buildings and solar energy systems.
