I have done projects in many juristictions across the Western US. In almost all cases the plan reviewers are forgiving with the service sink requirements. Always worth asking.

This is for MUCH the best KZread channel for architects, thank you for existing!!!!!!

Hi thanks for your video. I usually have a hard time with the multiple occupancies so this helped! In calculating number of occupants, it used to be done using another table in the plumbing code. Remember you could does this separate analysis and disregard areas like corridors? When did it change that occupants are calculated using the building code for plumbing fixtures?

Agreed above, number of occupants are per the other table inside plumbing code.

Thank you for the knowledge! I have a question: in a mixe use occupancy where you have, for instance, 2 different storage spaces and multiple offices. In calculation, should I add the occupant load of the two storage spaces together for this calculation, or should I do the calculation per each storage space individually. The same question applies to the office spaces. Thank you

I wonder when I can use unisex guestroom for a restaurant, is there an exception that will allow me to?

I am studying to become a plan reviewer and was curious if the drawing or notes generally provide occupancy load?

Were the number of required women's water closets ever added back in after calculating the men's?

👍🏻

From a code perspective, is design a dentist office in which NO one is “put to sleep” vs an oral surgeon different being as tho the oral surgeon will have patients sedated. Building being the same for either dentist. Are there things to look out for when a facility will sedate patients vs not?

In terms of IBC, the code makes distinction between "outpatients" and "Nonambulatory or bedridden patients". Clinics considered to have "outpatients" may still be classified as group B occupancy. Whereas if a person is "nonambulatory or bedridden" then it may be classified as an I-2 or other occupancy.

Good question. I don’t believe that is addressed in the codes. I do know however that the count would be 2 per plumbing code.
