2018 IBC Fire and Smoke Damper Tool

After a great response from the Fire and Smoke Damper Cheatsheet, I have created a simple tool that guides you through the code path for damper requirements. Simply select your wall/assembly type then answer the yes/no questions until the damper requirement appears. If you are searching for multiple wall types, its best to refresh the page so the previous answers reset.
