got features: Benjamin Franklin and Buildind Codes ( GOT FEATURES ) - 06/14/07 11:46 AM
 

 
 
 

Franklin's first attempt to safeguard the public through building codes came in 1735 with his call for minimum standards in the design of fireplace hearths, hearth extensions, and combustible material clearance. The principles Franklin proposed are codified in all the modern building codes, which prescribe these clearances in detail. A main theme of the building codes is protection against fire and safe egress from a building. In 1735, Franklin organized the first volunteer Fire Department in Philadelphia, which still remains the model for our modern fire departments. He also understood the importance of building design … (2 comments)

got features: More about Benjamin Franklin ( GOT FEATURES ) - 06/13/07 01:54 PM

In 1785, concerned over the polluting effects of coal, he designed another stove that burned soft coal and consumed … (0 comments)

From his youth he was an avid swimmer, and in his adult life he bathed as often as once a week practice considered seandalous at the time. Franklin not only brought the first bathtub to America but also improved its deign and spent much of his time reading and writing while soaking. His concern for sanitation went beyond his own personal needs, and he was instrumental in creating America's first public sewer system in Philadelphia.
