A:
When the code states a building is "in use," it generally means the structure is actively serving its intended purpose. This could involve being occupied, operational, or engaged in regular activities related to its function.
Simply having the building exist without active operations might not satisfy the "in use" requirement. For example, an office building needs to have businesses operating within it, not just the physical presence of the building itself.
To ensure you’re interpreting CVC 235 correctly, review the specific language of the code and consider reaching out to local authorities. They can provide clarity on whether your buildings need to be actively functioning or if mere existence is sufficient under this regulation.
