    Here are the key steps to solve this problem: 1. Determine the occupant load of the space: - Space is 3000 sqft - Occupancy is Business (100 sqft/person) - 3000 sqft / 100 sqft/person = 30 occupants 2. Determine the required number of exits: - Code requires a minimum of 2 exits for occupant loads between 1-500 people 3. Determine the required exit width: - Code requires exit width to be 0.2 inches/occupant - For 30 occupants, required width is 30 * 0.2 = 6 feet 4. The single exit door provided is 3 feet wide. - This does not meet the minimum
