Question #: 36
Topic #: 1
Exhibit.



Assuming all 6 classrooms m Wing C on plan A7 are the same size, what is their maximum occupant load?

Suggested Answer: C Vote an answer

* Determine the Size of Each Classroom: Measure or find the floor area of one classroom on the plan.
Since all classrooms in Wing C are the same size, this floor area can be multiplied by six.
* Apply the Occupant Load Factor: NFPA 101 provides specific occupant load factors for different types of rooms or buildings. For example, a classroom typically has an occupant load factor of 20 square feet per person.
* Calculate the Total Occupant Load:
* Total Occupant Load = (Total Area of All Classrooms) / (Occupant Load Factor) However, I cannot directly view or calculate the dimensions from the provided image file. Please provide either the total area of a single classroom or its dimensions, and I can proceed with the calculation based on the standard occupant load factors.
