Occupancy Load Cal vs. proposed occupancy load

In these cases we often used the code modification process to allow the use of a lower occupant load for plumbing and ventilation while still requiring the calculated load for sprinklers and egress. Often the infrastructure for water and sewer service would be available if the occupant load later increased. Negotiated on a case by case basis.
 
Wow! this forum has some great post and insight. This being my first posted thread I want to express my appreciation and thank everyone who helped me. I know this thanks is a little late but life and work can get busy. In the end the building was designed with egress elements using the higher occupancy loads per IBC tables. The plumbing fixture count was dictated by state plumbing code, parking dictated by locale city code, and HVAC was designed using the number off seats as the occupancy.

215 is proposed...we haven't gotten past Schematic Design so I haven't submitted anything to the AHJ. I have talked to AJH and sounds like they're on board with the 215 proposed.

How can I sign up with sawhorse if I don't use paypa?
 
Argh, for some reason I cannot send private messages. Loss of sawhorse status? Temporary temperamental website? Too many stored messages that I am having trouble deleting?

If you'd like to send a personal check, you can send a message to jar546 and ask him for the address.
