I don't know who the "Everybody else" is that you are referencing. The overwhelming majority I see posting concur that accessory conf/break rooms are business occupancy because that is how Exception 3 in Section 302.1 defines them.tg947 said:mtlogcabin scored a blow by providing some use of the chapter 3 exceptions if they aren't for occupancy. I'm still winning this debate on points though. Everybody else is saying the small accessory conf/break rooms are assembly occupancy just because they are. The world at large does not associate the word assembly with conference room - the basis has to come from chapter 3.
When you look at Table 1004.1.1 for the occupant load of a Kitchen, the space is not automatically a Group K, nor a Library Group L, or a Pool Group P.
Along those lines, just because the "Function of Space" from the table is Assembly does not necessarily make it Group A.
