#IRC 2015 WINDOWS#
Window opening control devices complying with ASTM F 2090 shall be permitted for use on windows serving as a required emergency escape and rescue opening. R310.1.1 Operational constraints and opening control devices.Įmergency escape and rescue openings shall be operational from the inside of the room without the use of keys, tools or special knowledge. Emergency escape and rescue openings shall open directly into a public way, or to a yard or court that opens to a public way.Įxception: Storm shelters and basements used only to house mechanical equipment not exceeding a total floor area of 200 square feet (18.58 m 2). Where basements contain one or more sleeping rooms, an emergency escape and rescue opening shall be required in each sleeping room.

Discussions with participants and experts in the field helped to identify economic barriers and research gaps that need to be addressed in both the short and long term for the benefit of canola industry.ġ1S protein 2S protein Canola/rapeseed antinutrients commercial meal cruciferin fibre napin phenolics phytates protein.2015 International Residential Codes SECTION R310 – EMERGENCY ESCAPE AND RESCUE OPENINGS R310.1 Emergency escape and rescue opening required.īasements, habitable attics and every sleeping room shall have not less than one operable emergency escape and rescue opening. The workshop entitled "Canola/Rapeseed Protein-Future Opportunities and Directions" that was held on 8 July 2015 during the 14th International Rapeseed Congress (IRC 2015) addressed the current situation and issues surrounding canola meal protein from the technological, nutritional, regulatory and genomics/breeding perspective.

Despite decades of research, several technologies being developed, and products being brought to large scale production, there are still no commercially available canola protein products. Population pressures, ecological considerations, and production efficiency underscore the importance of highly bioavailable plant proteins, both for the developed and developing world. An economic and sustainable source of protein with high bioavailability and digestibility is essential to human health and well-being. Beyond animal feed lies a potential game-changer with regards to the value of canola meal, and its opportunity as a high quality food protein source. At present, canola meal is primarily streamlined into the animal feed market where it is a competitive animal feed source owing to its high protein value.
