Hello, I have a question
I have a building with three stories, one of which is a basement and two others are first floor above grade plane and second floor above grade plane (please see the attached file). The building is served with one interior exit stairway and exit discharge is at basement floor level. All floors meet the requirements of table 1021.2(2) about occupancy, maximum occupants per story and maximum exit access travel distance. My question is about how permissible do you find that the building is served with one exit, As per me if the building meet all the definitions according to IBC 2012 table 1021.2(2) the use of a single exit must be permitted (because the building has only one basement floor and two floors above the grade plane).
Your opinion on this matter is very important to me.
