(2) An existing educational facility shall have a carbon monoxide detection system installed consistent with International Fire Code (IFC), Chapter 11, Section 1103.9. (3) Where required, an LEA shall provide a carbon monoxide detection system where a fuel-burning appliance, a fuel-burning fireplace, or a fuel-burning forced air furnace is present consistent with IFC 915.1. (4) An LEA shall install each carbon monoxide detection system consistent with NFPA 720 and the manufacturer's instructions, and listed systems as complying with UL 2034 and UL 2075. (5) An LEA shall install each carbon monoxide detection system in the locations specified in NFPA 720. (6) A combination carbon monoxide smoke detector is an acceptable alternative to a carbon monoxide detection system if the combination carbon monoxide/smoke detector is listed consistent with UL 2075 and UL 268. (7)

• (a) Each carbon monoxide detection system shall receive primary power from the building wiring if the wiring is served from a commercial source.
• (b) If primary power is interrupted, a battery shall provide each carbon monoxide detection system with power.
• (c) The wiring for a carbon monoxide detection system shall be permanent and without a disconnecting switch other than that required for over-current protection. (8) An LEA shall maintain all carbon monoxide detection systems consistent with IFC 915 and NFPA 720. (9) Performance-based alternative design of carbon monoxide detection systems is acceptable consistent with NFPA 720, Section 6.5.5.6. (10) An LEA shall monitor carbon monoxide detection systems remotely consistent with NFPA 720. (11) An LEA shall replace a carbon monoxide detection system that becomes inoperable or begins to produce end-of-life signals.

(b) Storerooms or cabinets shall be provided for cleaning materials, pesticides, paints, flammables, or other hazardous or toxic chemicals, and for tools and maintenance equipment. Materials incompatible due to potential contamination or potential chemical reactions shall be separated from one another.

• (A) reduce the emission of air pollutants on a regular basis; and
• (B) reduce the emission of air pollutants on a day for which the Division of Air Quality issues an air quality action alert.
