You have to round up to plan for a worst case scenario. The purpose of determining max occupancy is to plan for the maximum amount of people that need to exit the building or space in the event of a fire. If you plan for more, the building is theoretically safer by code. Hope this makes sense!
Have you seen one of these Max Occupancy signs before?
very cool video. Thank you
Very informative, thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Good info, Mr. Tyler 👍
Thank you 💪🏻
Learning every day...😅
We all are 😁
My only question - why would you round UP the max occupancy ? Wouldn't it make more sense to round DOWN the max occupancy to be conservative?

You're calculating Gross area incorrectly,
Review the definition of "Floor Area, Gross" in chapter 2
