I am trying to calculate using the alternative method - section on the allowable area formula.

code commentary does not tell you how to evaluate a UL unlimited area building.

I cannot find anywhere what to do, the end of the section notes using 50% of the 412.8 mandatory safety scores in the chart.

so does this mean UL =50% of each column for the MFS/ MME and MGS n tables for the proper occ. use?

thank you for your help

John
