A new Web-based service researches code documents of the National Fire Protection Association and extracts those that apply in specific situations.
Called The Code Counselor, from CodeLamp Corp., Jericho, N.Y., the service uses an interview and evaluation process to filter out non-applicable requirements. It then produces a report that, under a license with the NFPA, presents the exact text of provisions that apply. It will also flag other issues that may warrant consideration.
