How do you calculate a Fire occupancy Load?

The question here is backwards. No offence intended. With that said , the building use and occupancy load determine the fire resistance requirements Buildings are classified by the ICC (International Code Council) by group and division Groups - defined Group A - Assembly Group B - Business Group E - Educational Group F - Factory and Industrial Group H - Hazardous Group I - Industrial Group M - Mercantile Group R - Residential Group S - Storage Group you - Utility Each group mostly has more than one division, categorized by number; I.

E Group A Division 1 , which is the most stringent category for fire resistant materials and means of egress code rules, is more stringent than Group A Division 4 Like wise , Group U Division 2, which is the lowest requirements is less stringent than Group U Division 1 requirements In summary, the lower the letter and number, the more stringent are the fire resistive , and means of egress components To know the fire resistive construction and means of egress requirements of your building, consult the building code book for your state ; which may supersede the I.C. C To be absolutely sure ,consult with your local building department with information about what kind of use the building is intended for , how big of an occupancy intended , and whether or not it is connected or near to another business of same or different classification.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
