Luminous Egress in Michigan
As part of the 2015 Michigan Building Code, the requirement for luminous egress path markings became retroactive to existing high-rise buildings, as per the adoption of the 2015 International Building Code [see IFC 1104.25, 1025]. As such, it is no mandatory for all new and existing high-rise commercial buildings in the state of Michigan to install luminous egress signage and path markings in stairwells and landings.
