1) Looking at page ID0.2 shows construction type as "XXX". This does not correspond to anything in FFPC. Call out construction type to determine if an assembly can be located on the 3rd floor. 101:12.1.6

Thursday, August 22, 2024 Response to comment indicates "Construction Type has been updated in the Code Summary chart on sheet ID0.2".

It shows IIB. No assembly is permitted on the 3rd floor for this construction type.

 

2) Provide occupant load break down for each individual assembly room and make note on plans that it will need to be posted in accord with 101:12.7.9.3.
