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.
