Following up on Monday’s post about NFPA 101 occupancy classifications, here are the study materials for the IBC use groups. The IBC further divides some of the use groups into sub-groups, but I usually just look those up when I’m working on a code interpretation that is dependent upon the sub-group. For example, a hospital is Group I-2 and a prison is Group I-3, but they are both Group I. If I need to get into the details, I double-check the sub-group.
In case you missed Monday’s post, these materials are for a code class that’s coming up. Several iDH readers have asked about attending the class…this one is for Allegion employees, but I hope to be able to offer it to others in the future. If you might be interested, you can comment on this post and I’ll come back and check the list the next time I facilitate the class.
Here’s some information about each of the materials below:
Flashcards – The definition of the use group is on one side – click the flash card to see the other side which has the term. To see the next card, click the blue arrow at the bottom. If you’d like a computerized voice (it’s not me!) to read the card to you, click the speaker icon in the top right.
Match – Click a use group and the matching description (or vice versa) and they will disappear if you match the correct items. This game only shows a portion of the use groups at one time, so you need to play a couple of times to see them all. This works best on a laptop or desktop rather than a mobile device.

Very cool exam.
LOL The slide around thing is hard to see unless you have a BIG screen. The write in occupancy questions are ok, but getting the group letter correct should be enough.
Hi Mike –
The matching exercise works ok on my laptop screen. I’d rather not have the write-in questions – I set the test up as a matching test. But when I contacted Quizlet about how to limit the test only to matching, they said that they would consider that functionality for future updates. I recommend switching to a matching test by clicking the Options button. The exercises and test are all based on the same information, so if I want the test answers to be only the letters, then only the letters would appear on the flash cards and matching game.
