Luminous Egress in Ohio
The requirement for the installation of luminous egress path markings became effective with the adoption of the 2015 International Building Code [see IFC 1104.25, 1025] as part of the Ohio Building Code 2017. As such, all new and existing high-rise buildings in the State of Ohio must now install luminous egress path marking products in all exit stairwells and landings.

The visibility of stair treads, handrails and obstructions is critical in order for a safe egress. Providing a highly visible, easy to follow egress pathway allows occupants to quickly, and safely exit the building, even in emergency conditions.
Ecoglo® provides you with a full package of luminous egress solutions to bring your building up to Ohio building codes.
Luminous Egress Path Marking Code Compliance in Ohio
Section 1025 provisions provide an additional level of safety to buildings’ egress paths by requiring the installation of photoluminescent or self-illuminating marking systems that do not require electrical power and the associated wiring and circuits. This means that even if a building’s power supply fails to operate, photoluminescent egress markings ensures occupants can safely egress a building via exit stairways. This is especially necessary in high-rise buildings, which feature a greater anticipated occupant load and occupants which way not be familiar with the emergency exit path.
