§ 5B-2-1 H AWAI‘I C OUNTY C ODE <br />“BUILDING, OPEN is a building having each wall at least 80 percent <br />open. Ao >= Ag where: <br />1. Ao = total area of openings in a wall that receives positive <br />22 <br />external pressure, in ft (m); and <br />2. Ag = the gross area of that wall in which Ao is identified, in <br />22 <br />ft (m).” <br />“BUILDING, PARTIALLY ENCLOSED is a building that complies <br />with both of the following conditions: <br />1. The total area of openings in a wall that receives positive <br />external pressure exceeds that sum of the areas of openings <br />in the balance of the building envelope (walls and roof) by <br />more than 10 percent; and <br />2. The total area of openings in a wall that receives positive <br />external pressure exceeds 4 ft² (0.37 m²) or 1 percent of the <br />area of that wall, whichever is smaller, and the percentage of <br />openings in the balance of the building envelope does not <br />exceed 20 percent. <br />These conditions are expressed by the following equations: <br />1. Ao > 1.1 Aoi <br />2. Ao > 4 ft² (0.37 m²) or > 0.01 Ag, whichever is smaller, and <br /> <br />Where: <br />Ao, Aq are defined for open building. <br />Aoi = the sum of the areas of openings in the building <br />envelope (walls and roof) not including Ao, in ft² (m²). <br />Agi = the sum of the gross surface areas of the building <br />envelope (walls and roof) not including Ag, in ft² (m²).” <br />“CARPORT is a private garage which is at least 100 percent open on <br />one side and with 50 percent net openings on another side or which is <br />provided with an equivalent of such openings on two or more sides. <br />A private garage which is 100 percent open on one side and 25 <br />percent open on another side with the latter opening so located to <br />provide adequate cross ventilation may be considered a carport when <br />approved by the building official. Carports not open on two or more <br />sides shall be considered to be a garage.” <br />“FAMILY shall be as defined in the Zoning Code except that a <br />nursing, care home, or other similar facility with not more than five <br />patients may be considered a family under this code.” <br />“FIRE CODE. The State Fire Code as adopted by the State Fire <br />Council.” <br />SUPP. 11 (1-2022) <br /> <br />5B-6 <br /> <br />
