Question 1

What is the maximum number of stones below grade that may be occupied for a non-sprinklered assembly occupancy of Type III (211) construction?



Answer : B

According to NFPA 101, Life Safety Code, for a non-sprinklered assembly occupancy of Type III (211) construction, only one story below grade may be occupied. This limitation is intended to ensure safe egress for occupants during an emergency. Additional levels below grade increase the risk and complexity of evacuation, especially in the absence of an automatic sprinkler system.
