Interpretation #8937

Original Request

  • Requested By: robert smith
  • Requester E-Mail: rsmith@martin.fl.us
  • Code Version: 2017
  • Code: BUILDING
  • Code Description:
  • Chapter: Chapter 9-Fire Protection Systems
  • Section: 903.2.1.7
  • Topic: sprinkler question

  • Question: Is it the intent of FBC 903.2.1.7 to require sprinklers because of the additional exits that lead to the vestibule for exiting the building appear to make this a combined occupant load of 520 occupants 300 or more. Definition of means of egress leads me to believe that any exit path would be considered in 903.2.1.7 and would require combing the occupant loads for the multiple A-3 classifications.
