IBC/ IFC Table 1004.1.2

[cda]

So anyone know why some of the tables have

Under Mercantile

Basement and grade floor areas 30 Gross

And some tables do not have it???????

My 2018 commentary matches the code. The 30 is no longer used

When the 2015 IBC changed the occupant load factor for the mercantile occupancies from 30 to 60 from sq ft per occupant, the commentary writers did not amend that edition of the commentary.

This is not commentary, just plain old code
IBC

I wonder if I can get my money back?
