Means of Egress Building Code Compliance Diagrams
Publication: Building Integration Solutions
Abstract
Means of egress can be defined as "a continuous and unobstructed path of travel from any point in a building or structure to a public way" [IBC]. This paper presents a new way to represent and check for means of egress compliance automatically (means of egress code compliance diagrams (MECC) for the building). Additionally, a prototype computer tool, MEC3 is developed to help in generating and checking the diagrams. This tool is presented in this paper also.
