This is undeniably a stupid question, but how do I calculate the occupant load for two offices and kitchen in a church (A-3) occupancy? Would it just be gross square footage based on 1 occupant per 100 sf?
 
That change made a big difference in reducing the number of required plumbing fixtures. I wonder if they will address that in future codes?
 
Not a stupid question, determining occupancy can be tricky.

Agree with you mtlog, I saw that change and wondered what else was effected.

Wonder what the reasoning was behind the change?
