BUILDING - INTERNAL SEPARATION AND COMPARTMENTATION

Note: Floors within a maisonette are not required to be "compartment". For non-residential buildings, compartment size is limited by floor area depending on the building function (purpose group) and height. Compartment ~ a building or part of a building with walls and floors constructed to contain fire and to prevent it spreading to another part of the same building or to an adjoining building.

Separating floor/wall ~ element of sound resisting construction between individual living units.
