I may need to enlarge these, I will print it out at work tomorrow and see how legible they are.

David,
This is SUPER. should we do the plumbing counts as well as Area and Code analysis?
Amr,
I don't think it is a requirement for the code section but you know how many you have to insert into your building once you have your occupant load. If we are attempting to follow the code then I think we should at least make sure we are providing them but we aren't required to put them in the code analysis I don't believe.
Thanks Jaclyn for the clarification,
Its great that David put it, I will see if i have enough time in this charette i will put them.
I am still working on mine and still searching for additional fire code information about the ETFT i use for the bubble.
Amr and Jaclyn,
Plumbing counts are part of the code and I think it is good to understand the fact that we typically have to make sure our engineers understand the loading and number requirements. With that said, I have found that plumbing counts are usually something that local officials look at case by case. Some officials follow the occupancy counts verbatim; some say not every room will be filled to maximum capacity every minute of every day. I have found it is best to take a look at what you think is per the code and then discuss it with the code officials early on in your design and adjust as needed.
David
David,
Completely agree.
Amr,
If you review the code table I have done I demonstrate what is required by code and then what is provided. Very similar to what David did. It's not much to add into the code analysis.
I agree with you David that everyone does it a little different. The code requirement is the place to start though. :-)
