3.4.2.5.(2)

Intent

Intent 1:

To exempt exits located around the perimeter of floor areas from the travel distance limits of Sentence 3.4.2.5.(1), on the basis that the exit spacing is limited and each main aisle leads directly to an exit.

This is allowed on the basis that:

  • occupants will be able to leave before the space becomes untenable in a fire, and
  • emergency responders will be able to enter the building at the exit location and proceed expeditiously by means of the main aisles to problem areas in the building.
