A401.1 Purpose

Commentary: This provision refers to “minimum standards.” In the context of Appendix A - Chapter A4, this means minimum standards for policy equivalence with other criteria when retrofit is triggered elsewhere in the CEBC. In the context of SFEBC Chapter 5E, the provisions of Appendix A - Chapter A4 might or might not require the same scope of retrofit as other criteria allowed by SFEBC Section 506E.2. The other criteria are acceptable even if they require less retrofit scope or produce retrofit designs with lower capacity than Appendix A - Chapter A4.
