Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

Comprehensive and Detailed Step-by-Step Explanation:

Occupant Load Calculation:

According to NFPA 101 (Life Safety Code), Table 7.3.1.2, for assembly occupancies without fixed seating (such as conference rooms), the occupant load factor is:

15 ft (1.4 m) per person.

Calculation:

Divide the total area of 900 ft by 15 ft per person: 900ft2/15ft2/person=60people900 , text{ft}^2 , / , 15 , text{ft}^2/text{person} = 60 , text{people}900ft2/15ft2/person=60people

Other Options Explained:

Option A (30 people): Too low.

Option C (90 people) and Option D (120 people): Exceed the calculated occupant load.

Summary:

The maximum occupant load for a 900 ft conference room is 60 people.

D) 120 people? No way, that's way too many for a 900 sq ft room. My grandma's kitchen is bigger than that!
