NFPA Technical Committee on Cultural Resources NFPA 909 Pre-First Draft Meeting Minutes September 30-October 1, 2014 Old Faithful Snow Lodge Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming 1. Call to Order/Welcome. The meeting was called to order by Chair Don Moeller on Tuesday, September 30, 2014, at 9:00 AM. Don welcomed the committee to Yellowstone National Park, and thanked Todd Neitzel and Grant Crosby of the National Park Service for arranging the meeting location and setting up special presentations, case study, and a behind the scenes tour of the historic Old Faithful Inn. Members are also welcome to participate in the historic preservation conference hosted by the American Institute of Architects which begins later this week in the Old Faithful Inn. Fire Chief Britton Gray from the National Park Service also welcomed the committee, and gave us an overview of the park, which occupies some 2.2 Million acres and includes over 1600 structures (half of those are historic structures, including the Lake Hotel, the oldest hotel in the park service) and more than 400 fire protection systems. Challenges include the exposure to wildfire, as well as seismic protection, since they experience some 300 tremors per day in the Yellowstone area. 2. Introduction of Committee Members and Guests.

3. Approval of Previous Meeting Minutes. The minutes from the April 24-25, 2014 meeting in Waikoloa, Hawaii were approved as written and distributed. 4. Chair’s Report. i)
ii) iii)
Due to the merger of Hughes Associates and Rolf Jensen & Associates, Mickey Reiss is no longer on the committee. Wayne Moore remains the Principal Member from Hughes, and Jim Antell will be coming on as his new alternate. Committee Secretary Michael Coull was unable to attend this meeting due to gallbladder surgery. In his absence, Debbie Freeland acted as secretary. There are a couple openings for committee membership, and we are actively looking for individuals with special expertise that would be especially useful in the committee's efforts to expand our documents, especially in the international arena. Members who have someone to recommend, please advise the chair.
5. Review Schedule for Future Meetings. Note: Chair Don Moeller reminded everyone of the importance of attending meetings and actively participating in the work of the committee. i)
ii) iii) iv)
Spring 2015: NFPA 909 First Draft Meeting, Buffalo, New York. Date change to April 27, 28, 29. Committee members are requested to schedule their travel arrangements so that they can participate through the morning of the 29th, and not plan to leave early – we have a lot to accomplish this meeting and need everyone’s input and expertise. Russ Fleming presented an overview of this area and reported on the link between East Aurora and the work of our committee. East Aurora is home to the best preserved of all the guilds remaining in the US. The Roycroft Campus is a historic community listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and their planned restoration has similarities to that of Colonial Williamsburg, so it is anticipated that the committee will have much to share and offer to this project. A tour is planned for the committee the first day of our meeting. Buffalo experienced its big boom when the Erie Canal opened in 1825, and the LaFayette Hotel, on the National Register of Historic Places, where we hope to stay, was completed in 1902 and, at the time, was considered one of the finest hotels in the country. Fall 2015: NFPA 909 Pre-Second Draft Meeting. September 21-22, 2015, Colonial Williamsburg. Confirmed – Danny McDaniel. Spring 2016: NFPA 909 Second Draft Meeting. (No later than May 2, 2016), location to be determined. Fall 2016: NFPA 914 Pre-First Draft Meeting, location to be determined. Possibly Chester or UK, Mike Coull.
Please contact Chair Moeller with other meeting location ideas. 6. Task Group Break-Out Discussions. The NFPA 909 and 914 task groups met separately to discuss future revisions of these documents. 7. Guest Presentation: Fire Chief Britton Gray of the National Park Service. Chief Gray gave an overview of how NFPA 914 was used by the National Park Service as a basis in designing the protection systems for the renovations of the Old Faithful Inn, the Lake General Page 9 of 125
Store, and Visitor Center, and their documentation of the justifications for their work using 914 so that future professionals will have this information. Todd expanded on how this approach is being used at other NPS sites as well. 8. Portable Fire Extinguisher Agent Task Group Report. Cindy Greczek provided the committee with an update on the project, which is on schedule and doing well. All neat tests were completed in April and all fire tests were completed in June. The thirteen materials tested include metals, leather, fur, wood, linen canvases with oil and acrylic paints, stone and ceramic tile. Each sample board contained two sets of materials or 26 samples. Each test had two sample boards – a direct board placed behind the fire and fire extinguisher and an indirect board placed off to the side of the fire. The fire extinguishing agents used in the tests were ABC, FE-36, Halotron, Water Mist, and ABC and water mist together. Emily Williams, Colonial Williamsburg Curator of Archaeological Materials, has completed the initial cleaning of all the samples and Joe Scheffey, Hughes Associates PE/VP, is working on the draft report of the testing. This October the neat test samples will be at the six month exposure mark, and Emily will re-evaluate the condition and perform delayed cleaning of the samples. In December the fire test samples will be at the six month exposure mark and Emily will re-assess and clean those samples. Emily has an anthropology student from the College of William and Mary working with her on the project. Cindy plans to invite both Emily and Joe to our Spring 2015 committee meeting to give a presentation on the initial results. 9. Guest Presentation: James McDonald, AIA, Principal Preservation Architect, A&E Architects PC, Missoula, Montana. Mr. McDonald oversaw the renovation of the historic Old Faithful Inn, and gave us an overview of the project and the work that was done. Previous renovation work in 1987 included adding sprinklers and a roof deluge system with “piping running everywhere”., and replacing rotting logs. A true restoration project, the 2004-12 renovation work included seismic reinforcement: adding steel reinforcements to the entire structure including roof infrastructure, walls & beams, addition of infrared smoke detection, replacement of electrical wiring and plumbing, replacement of the roof with fire resistive composite shingles, and upgrades to the sprinkler system and water supplies, hiding wiring and piping as much as possible. Again, NFPA 914 served as the basis for the upgrades to the fire protection systems. 10. Guest Presentation: “Corrosion Control in Fire Sprinkler Systems,” Jeff Kochelek, CEO, Engineered Corrosion Solutions, St. Louis, Missouri. Jeff presented the committee with an update on their research into corrosion in piping in fire sprinkler systems, both wet and dry, and explained the chemistry behind their findings. They have determined that the location of corrosion is predictable – in oxygen/water interfaces, so high points in wet pipe systems, and areas where water may be trapped in dry systems. Thus, in most cases where corrosion in the interior of the pipe is an issue, the entire system will not need to be replaced – just selected areas. Other items of interest: they have found zero correlation between microbes and leaks, estimated that galvanized pipe fails 3-4 times faster than non-galvanized, and noted that every 10 degree drop in temperature correlates with a 50% reduction in the speed of a reaction, which is why corrosion is fastest in areas near heaters and heat-generating equipment, while there is no corrosion problem in freezers. His proposed solution, based on their findings, is to Page 10 of 125
inert both wet and dry systems with nitrogen – either feeding it in from a tank or providing a nitrogen generator, and he discussed several schematics showing how this could be accomplished. 11. New York Heritage Response Team – Sheila Palmer. Sheila has been very active in the development and organization of New York City’s Alliance for Response, with its goal of strengthening disaster preparedness and response capabilities in the Cultural Heritage Community. This is accomplished through training, assisting with local planning efforts, and encouraging improved dialogue and partnerships. The Alliance serves as a conduit for information from the New York City Office of Emergency Management, and helps those affected find assistance. Their capabilities were put to the test during their extensive efforts following Hurricane Sandy, and Sheila discussed challenges involved in responding to this disaster, their successes, lessons learned, and how they are planning to modify their approach going forward. 12. Task Group Reports. i)
ii)
NFPA 909 Task Group – Cindy Greczek. The task group discussed adding material in three general areas and began working on wording to be completed before the next meeting: protecting archeological sites and collections located outside from wildfire; protecting vacant buildings or portions of buildings that are temporarily unoccupied; addressing housekeeping items; and possible additional wording related to precautions to be taken during renovation activities. NFPA 914 Task Group – Sheila Palmer. The task group is considering a number of changes for the next edition, including: expanding on protection from fire during renovation; possibly changing the title of the code to be consistent with the new scope, and incorporating these hazards into the vulnerability assessment, with resources and examples included in the appendix. Hazards discussed included flood, earthquake and windstorm. The Old Faithful in could be used as a case study for earthquake. Additionally, the task group discussed the feasibility of creating a training program on the use of 914, targeted at non-engineers such as administrators and local law makers, and incorporating pictures and case studies.
13. Adjournment. The meeting was adjourned prior to lunchtime on October 1, 2014, for a special tour of the Old Faithful Inn highlighting the renovation, including walking up the catwalks and up to the roof to see firsthand the deluge system installation. The Fire Department also brought out the fire trucks and explained the special modifications that enable them to navigate in snow conditions.
Respectfully submitted by Deborah Freeland, acting secretary.

Public Input No. 1-NFPA 909-2013 [ Section No. 1.1 ]
1.1 Scope. 1.1.1 * This code describes shall provide principles and practices of protection for protecting cultural resource properties (including, but not limited to, museums, libraries, and places of worship), their contents, and collections, against conditions or physical situations with the potential to cause damage or loss. including contents and collections. A. 1.1. 2 1 This code covers ongoing operations and rehabilitation and acknowledges the need to preserve culturally significant and character-defining building features and sensitive, often irreplaceable, collections and to provide continuity of operations. 1.1. 3 2 * The requirements of this code shall be in addition to applicable codes and standards including applicable provisions of NFPA 101, Life Safety Code. A.1.1.2 Principles and practices for life safety in cultural resource properties are outside the scope of this code. Where this code includes provisions for maintaining means of egress and controlling occupant load, it is to facilitate the evacuation of items of cultural significance, allow access for damage limitation teams in an emergency, and prevent damage to collections through overcrowding or as an unintended consequence of an emergency evacuation. 1.1. 4 3 Library and museum collections that are privately owned and not open to the public shall not be required to meet the requirements of this code. [ Note to editor: Delete existing A.1.1.3]
Statement of Problem and Substantiation for Public Input Consolidate the scope for comprehension. The current sentence runs on and much of it duplicates the purpose in 1.2. The material in the parenthesis is actually the annex to 3.3.17. Send non-mandatory explanatory language to the annex. Move the mention of NFPA 101 to the body. A reference to a mandatory document should be in the body. Expand 1.1.2 to include the duplicate material from 1.2.2.

Public Input No. 2-NFPA 909-2013 [ Section No. 1.2 ]
1.2 * Purpose. 1.2.1 * This The purpose of this code shall prescribe minimum requirements for the protection of be to prescribe a comprehensive program, consistent with the mission of the organization, that protects cultural resource properties and their contents and collections from conditions or physical situations with having the potential to cause damage or loss through a comprehensive protection program consistent with the organization’s mission. . [ Note to editor: Renumber existing A. 1.2. 2 Because of the special nature of cultural resource properties, this code shall supplement existing codes and standards that apply specifically to buildings or portions of buildings devoted to such use. 1 to be A.1.2]
Statement of Problem and Substantiation for Public Input There are misplaced modifying phrases in the current language. In fact, it appears the comprehensive protection program is to protect the losses. I re-arranged the phrases for clarity and comprehension. Deleted 1.2.2 because it is similar to 1.1.2 (see Public Input 1).

See Table A.9.12.13 for known advantages and potential concerns associated with various types of automatic sprinkler systems, piping materials, and types of sprinklers. Table A.9.12.13 Considerations for Automatic Sprinkler System Types and Materials Known Advantages
Potential Concerns
Wet pipe
Traditional high reliability systems with water under pressure in piping at all times using heat-actuated sprinklers ; lowest maintenance requirements of all system types
Mechanical damage to sprinklers or piping in low-ceiling areas, overheating, and freezing can all result in discharge of water
Antifreeze
Advantages of wet pipe systems with reduced concern for freezing
Types of Systems
Traditional antifreeze Antifreeze solutions are now limited due to now restricted to those that are listed for use in fire sprinkler systems due to concerns for combustibility of sprinkler spray , especially for small orifice sprinklers at high pressures . Dry pipe
Air or nitrogen in piping under moderate pressure 2–3 bar [(30–40 psi) nominal] protects against freezing and prevents water discharge in the event of small leaks
Air in Reduced reliability due to increased maintenance requirements; 30% increase in water demand; air in piping with residual water can lead to premature corrosion of steel piping systems; mechanical damage to sprinklers or piping will result in water flow; water supply must be in a heated area Preaction — single-interlock
Requires separate detection system to activate before water is introduced to piping; protects against freezing and prevents discharge of water in the event of mechanical or corrosion damage to sprinklers or piping
Reduced reliability due to dependence on separate detection system; air in piping with residual water can lead to premature corrosion of steel piping systems; significantly higher level of regular maintenance
Preaction — double-interlock
Requires both detection system and at least one sprinkler to activate before water is introduced to piping; best protection for
Slowest system response to fires; reduced reliability due to dependence on separate detection system; air in piping with residual water can lead to premature corrosion of steel piping systems;

occupancies such as freezers where water in piping can alone be a concern
significantly higher level or regular maintenance
Preaction — non-interlock
Water entering piping with activation of either detection system or sprinkler increases reliability over other types of preaction systems while excluding water in normal ready condition; protects against freezing
Does not provide added protection against release of water in the event of mechanical or corrosion damage to sprinklers for piping; air in piping with residual water can lead to premature corrosion of steel piping systems
Preaction — pre-primed
Requires separate Reduced reliability due to detection system to dependence on separate detection activate to allow water to system enter piping in excess of priming water, limiting potential discharge in the event of mechanical or corrosion damage to sprinklers or piping
Deluge
Ability to quickly discharge large quantities of water appropriate for special hazards only
Activation results in water discharge throughout protected area; air in piping with residual water can lead to premature corrosion of steel piping systems
Water mist
Can provide performance similar to traditional sprinkler systems using less water; smaller pipe sizes than sprinkler systems
No standard design method available; reduced reliability due to very small nozzle orifices and greater number of required operating components; requires specialized installation and maintenance personnel; nozzle discharge pressures higher for some systems; potential for physical damage to articles and property in close proximity to nozzles
Traditional strength and reliability
Corrosion concerns over time, especially with residual
Types of Piping Materials Steel — standard wall pipe water in pipe for dry and preaction systems Steel — thinwall Reduced wall thickness and joining with mechanical fittings allows lower cost (wall thickness comparable to remaining wall outside fitting for traditional threaded systems)
Corrosion concerns over time, especially with residual water in pipe for dry and preaction systems; some concern that grooves placed on piping prevent complete drainage

Copper tube
Less susceptible to corrosion than steel piping systems
More expensive than steel systems; fire hazard of allowable joining methods
CPVC (chlorinated polyvinyl chloride)
Not susceptible to corrosion; clean Compatibility concerns, especially with installation and field fabrication ideal regard to internal, and external for retrofit exposures to materials containing plasticizers or hydrocarbons; must be in strict accordance with 9.12.13.4
Stainless steel Highest High degree of corrosion resistance
Increased expense; corrosion concern with sprinkler seats unless stainless steel sprinklers also utilized
Types of Sprinklers Standard response
Traditional strength and reliability Lack of improved performance through against accidental discharge ; technological advancements in sprinkler least maintenance and lowest thermal sensitivity testing requirements;
Quick response
Improved sensitivity allows reaction to smaller fire and increases effectiveness of available water supplies
Reduced mass of sprinkler thermal element makes it somewhat more susceptible to accidental discharge if proper care is not taken in handling and installation
Residential
Combines increased thermal sensitivity of quick-response sprinklers with high wall wetting appropriate for typical small compartments of residential occupancies
Reduced mass of sprinkler thermal element makes it somewhat more susceptible to accidental discharge if proper care is not taken in handling and installation ; increased installation requirements regarding obstructions, location, etc.
