Because two exits are provided emergency lighting (EM) is required with the space. The location of the single EM fixture does not appear to provide sufficient egress lighting. Please add one or more fixtures near area 2/B-C and/or 1/A-C.

8/17/16 - Resolved. Additional emergency lighting provided at noted locations // PANILO

Clarify the intent of the egress plan. Specifically & clearly show the following. The required exit or exits, number of exits provided (it appears you are providing 3 exits from the space) , use of security grills, common path of travel, occuppant load (OL), area of space, etc. Note that per IFC 1004.1.1 OL is calculated based on gross area. It appears that you deducted areas that should have been included within the gross floor area. Using the 1729 sf lease area (when allowing for a higher OL factor for approx 210sf for the work area/restroom) the OL is calculated > than 50. Two exits would be required from the space. Even f you can clearly show only one exit is required note it appears that the design is based on providing two or more exits. Note that per IFC 1008.1 doors provided for egress purposes in numbers greater than required by this code shall meet requirements of section 1008. Also note that IFC 1008.1.4.5 & IBC 402.13 states where two or more means of egress are required not more than 1/2 of the exits or exit access doorways shall be equipped with vertical security grills. All three of your exits have security grills. What is the code info reference (Sheet G1.3) to providing exit doors with panic hardware. Are you providing such and if yes at what doors? Please note that the travel distance of 53 ft is incorrectly measured.

8/17/16 - Resolved. The use of an incorporated side-hinged egress door in the horizontal sliding grille will meet the requirement for a second exit. Location of the exit sign should be above the egress panel with the sliding door fully closed // PANILO
