The correct section number is 710, but in going through that section, I don't see anything about smoke baffles or smoke containment system. Can someone point me to the part of the IBC that requires this stuff? J.

I think it also shows up in Chapter 10 as well.

MasterFormat has a section number and name in Division 07 for Smoke Containment Systems which is a little closer, but may not be entirely accurate. J. Peter Jordan, FCSI, AIA, CCS, LEED AP, SCIP
