Occupant Load + Egress Calculator
Produce the occupant load, the required egress width and the number of exits to IBC Tables 1004.5, 1005.3 and 1006.2 – the code summary block that belongs on your G-sheet.
Occupant load drives more of a permit set than most people expect: it sets exit count, exit width, restroom fixture counts and whether the space needs an alarm system. Getting it wrong early means redrawing far more than the egress plan.
What the plan reviewer checks
Whether the building is sprinklered changes the allowed travel distance and the width factor, so it is the first thing to confirm – not an afterthought once the layout is fixed.
