3.4.2.4.(2) | Application | Intent |

| Application | Application 1: Measurement of travel distance from a suite or
a room not within a suite to the nearest exit,
where:
This applies to exit facilities
serving floor areas that are intended for occupancy, including mezzanines as
stated in Sentence 3.4.2.2.(1), in buildings described
in Sentence 1.3.3.2.(1) of Division A.
Application 2: This also applies to tents and air-supported
structures, as stated in Sentences 3.1.6.1.(1) and 9.10.1.2.(1). |

| Intent | Intent 1: To exempt travel distance measurement involving a suite
or room from the application of Sentence 3.4.2.4.(1), which would otherwise
require the measurement from the furthest point in the suite or room, and
permit measurement from the egress door of the suite or room, if certain conditions
are met. This is on the basis that the portion of the
travel route outside the room or suite is protected from a fire in the rooms
or suites leading onto the protected egress route and thus would not be rendered
untenable within the time required to achieve occupant safety.
