Occupant Load Factor at Institutional Group Exam Space

[joenunez]

I'm trying to determine the occupant load factor (OLF) for an exam room in an I-3 occupancy. I'm quite new to code planning and have only recently picked up the essentials. I've referenced Table 1004.1.2 in CBC 2013, but I was uncertain where exam rooms fall into this and if there were any special exceptions when working with an I-3 occupancy.

Inpatient treatment areas Outpatient areas Sleeping areas

[TD=align: center] 240 gross

100 gross

120 gross

[/TD]

That's from the 2012 IBC. The 'topic' is 'Industrial Uses', not sure if it should be 'Institutional' ...

JBI:

It's supposed to be "Institutional." It was picked up in the errata (http://www.iccsafe.org/wp-content/uploads/errata_central/2012IBC-Chapter10.pdf).

joenunez: The "outpatient area" would be the best match.

An I-3 facility is occupied by persons who are generally incapable of self-preservation due to security measures not under the occupants' control.
