Does anyone know how in the world to figure out the number of exit doors required on a 247,000 s.f. existing non hazardous industrial building in Chicago. I am having difficulty trying determine this and the code section 13-160-150 is not clear at all. Any help would be appreciated.

One story industrial non hazard manufacturing. The client wants to see if they can reduce the number of exits so they can utilize more space. Has a sprinkler system and standpipes throughout the building,so 2 water sources. My gut thinks they cannot reduce number of exits. 100 occupants

Methinks this is impossible without a good floor plan....2 exits from any point that exceeds travel distance or common path is the best answer I can give...
