Panic or fire hardware, panic hardware at exit doors and/or out of other spaces is what this video covers. Panic hardware is used more times than it is required. It’s probably only required about half the time that I see it used. Only required in H occupancies or A or E spaces or occupancies, Where those occupancies are over 50 persons.

I will be updating this video soon, It was just pointed out to me that I say and show “1/2 divided by D” it should be “1/2 * D” for your trying to get 1/2 the distance of D for a not sprinkled building. for a sprinkled it would be 1/3. I will get this corrected soon. This video is on where doors you be located in a room where the occupied requires more than one door. Most occupancies that threshold is 49 people. Once that threshold is met two doors are required and a shout be remotely located from each other. Storage occupancies the threshold is 29, institutional occupancies most are around 10, hazard three people require you to have more than one door but with hazard on doors shall swing in the direction of travel.

Dead End, this and common path of travel are two of the most confusing topics. People can relate these two topics and think they’re one. They are not they are two separate individual code issues.

This video covers how and why stair doors and stairs may change in width. This is additional follow-up on the design of stairs from previous videos. This covers stairs coming from a vertical height also coming from a basement and how the door width will change at the exit landing.

Exit inches for doors & stairs 7-0

This video focus on calculating exit inches required for doors and stairs. How they differ and how/why they are important to calculate.
I have taught myself something by producing this video. Never could figure out/remember was it .2 or .3 door or .2 or .3 for a stair. While putting this together I realized you come to a door before you come to stair. You come to .2 before you come to .3. —– .2 is for doors .3 is for stairs. I now no longer have to look this up every single time.

How many people can fit in a spaceBuilding code understanding/calculation of how to determine how many people allowed to sit. Which then drives how many doors, how big the doors can be. Upcoming videos will cover your location and/or size
