Except where the building is equipped throughout with an automatic sprinkler and the fire-rated glazing meets the criteria established in Section 716.5.5. d. Under the column heading "Fire-rated glazing marking door vision panel", W refers to the fire-resistance rating of the glazing, not the frame. e. See Section 716.5.8.1.2.1.
