Intent 1: 
To supersede the application of Sentence 4.1.3.2.(2) and require an increase in the companion-load factor for the live load for storage occupancies, equipment areas and service rooms, on the basis that it is more likely that this full live load will be realized concurrent with the design snow, wind, or earthquake load.
