How this is calculated

Occupant load = floor area ÷ occupant load factor for the space's function (IBC Table 1004.5), rounded up to the next whole number. The factor and whether to use gross or net area depend on the space's function, not the building's occupancy classification. For details, see our occupant load guide and occupant load factors by occupancy guide.
