I have a room with 28 occupants, one exit is required. It has two doors, one is an exit directly to the exterior, the other is exit access to an unrated corridor with an exit at either end.
Can I show that all 28 occupants in this room will exit through the door directly to the exterior? Or do I need to divide the occupants 50/50 between the 2 doors?
Also, the building is arranged such that about 2/3 of the occupants would naturally use one of the corridor egress doors (due to where the stair from the second story terminates), while the other 1/3 would naturally use the other. Would I calculate number of occupants at these 2 egress doors based on the likely path (which creates a more stringent condition at one of the doors) or split all occupants 50/50 between to 2 corridor egress doors?
