Means of EgressA continuous and unobstructed path of travel from any point in a building to its exterior or public way.
Key termsBuilding coreCommon path of travelCorridorMeans of egressMeans of escapeNatural path of travelOccupant loadPassagewayStairwayStoryTenantEvacuationDefend in Place
Simplest scenario: One story
Next simplest: multi-story
OK, now its getting complicated
Defend in place: @ stair
Defend in place: horizontal exit
Evacuation vs. Defend in Place
Egress system componentsExit Access anything (occupied room, space, doorway, aisle, corridor, stair, or ramp) on the way to the exitExit any protected, fully enclosed space between the exit access and the exit dischargeArea of refuge a protected waiting place within the egress systemExit discharge any portion of a means of egress between the termination of the exit and the public wayPublic way 10w x 10hArea of refuge temporary holding space for an emergency evacuationExit passageways: extension of the exit

Exit Access travel distanceChoose the most remote part of plan to the furthest exitExit Signs
Aisles and Accessways:an aisle accessway gives you access to the aisle
First calculate occupant loadNumber of exitsCapacity of ExitsCapacity of corridors
Egress system capacityCalculating Occupant LoadUse chart in code to identify Specific Occupancy Areas (in 781 CMR Ch. 10)Create/import Occupancy Calculations schedule and fill out for each room from RevitCreate 1/32 scale Occupancy Plan and add color schemeAdjust areas for circulation, furniture, etc, and enter into chart for each levelChart calculates toilets, egress component dimensionFix your plans to complyArea Allowance per occupant

Sample calculation

Emergency LightingRequired when two or more exits are required
Emergency electrical system or battery
General exit lighting and exit signs must be lit at all times Separation of Exits
