New Construction, Type 2B, sprinklered.
First floor is Group F-1, maybe some B, 22,000 sf.
Second floor is Group F-2, 22,000 sf.
Third floor is an 8,100 sf refrigeration machinery room serving both the first and second floors. What is the correct occupancy use group for the third floor? F-1? F-2?
The classification makes a difference in whether or not the 2nd story ceiling / 3rd story floor requires a fire rating and also impacts the maximum allowable travel distance from the third floor.
Thanks
