Building Code Consulting for Office Buildings
Comprehensive Fire Protection Engineering, Fire Code Consulting, and Smoke Control for Office Buildings
While office buildings typically pose lower fire and life safety risks compared to other types of buildings, they still require strict adherence to building codes and fire safety standards. Occupants are generally familiar with their surroundings, alert, and able to respond to emergencies quickly. Additionally, office buildings tend to contain lower hazard materials like paper, chairs, and tables.
However, office buildings are often located in high-value real estate areas, leading businesses to maximize the office floor area. As a result, many office buildings have higher occupant loads than other types of facilities. In these situations, it is critical for building code experts to develop egress drawings that map out proper travel paths for building occupants. If occupant loads exceed stair capacities, unique solutions such as horizontal exits or exit passageways may be required to ensure safe evacuation.
