This video is great, thank you. the only thign I am not understanding is where you got the info that the area of refuge occupant load factor is 30ft^2/person. 2018 NFPA 101 says the occupant load factor for a healthcare occupancies with sleeping departments.

FYI. I have not found a requirement for fire/smoke dampers at smoke barriers. Only smoke dampers are required by 2015 IBC 717.5.5. Also, you could do a whole separate video on smoke barriers in attics so I don't have to? Continuity to the roof deck, continuity to eaves, rated gyp. walls have to have gyp. bd. on both sides in the attic, walls need to be labeled, smoke barriers in attics cannot shift from the walls below them unless a horizontal rated assembly connects them, openings have to be protected, smoke dampers need to be on HVAC ducts in the attic that serve both compartments, smoke dampers in attics require access, etc. This is a constant battle with misunderstanding. Also, there is a typo: "smoker" compartment.

correct, the video what done before 2015 changed the requirements. Thank you for the comments
