Criterion 6.5.20 Emergency Egress and Access

Criterion text:
The design and installation of systems shall not impair emergency movement of the building occupants.

Comments:

Installer must be aware of the requirements of this criterion during system installation. The system must in no way impair the emergency movement of occupants. Common sense will dictate if system components are indeed a movement hazard.

The solar components at ground level in this basement pathway (Figure 1) could present a problem if someone is excitedly attempting to exit the other side of the basement in the event of an emergency.
