Egress Through Different Occupancy

Question

Is it the intent of section 1014.2 to allow required means of egress to pass through different occupancy types if both under 1 tenant.

Answer Published 02/04/2014 at 8:38 PM

Yes, provided they are accessory to one or the other and
are not considered a Group H occupancy.

Commentary

The calculation for sizing the exits in the group F occupancy should include 1/2 the occupant load of the of the group B occupancy space.
