AC 050 - How to calculate plumbing count 

I have done projects in many juristictions across the Western US. In almost all cases the plan reviewers are forgiving with the service sink requirements. Always worth asking.

This is for MUCH the best RU-vid channel for architects, thank you for existing!!!!!!

Our office loves your videos! So helpful and you break things down so simple. Much appreciated :) We are in California and go by the CPC. There are some nuances especially when you look at B occupancy for women when it jumps from 4 to 8 toilets required. How would a fraction work for that? Also any suggestions on when occupancy is really low and you do not have an A or E for single use restrooms that are Unisex and being able to remove the urinal requirement?

Hi thanks for your video. I usually have a hard time with the multiple occupancies so this helped! In calculating number of occupants, it used to be done using another table in the plumbing code. Remember you could does this separate analysis and disregard areas like corridors? When did it change that occupants are calculated using the building code for plumbing fixtures?

In the multiple occupancy scenario, per gender count of 3 for the WC, would you substitute in a urinal the same way as done for the single occupancy? For verification, would the total fixture count be [13 toilet fixtures for the single occupant] and [16 toilet fixtures for the multiple occupant]

Thank you for the knowledge! I have a question: in a mixe use occupancy where you have, for instance, 2 different storage spaces and multiple offices. In calculation, should I add the occupant load of the two storage spaces together for this calculation, or should I do the calculation per each storage space individually. The same question applies to the office spaces. Thank you

Were the number of required women's water closets ever added back in after calculating the men's?

I am studying to become a plan reviewer and was curious if the drawing or notes generally provide occupancy load?

I wonder when I can use unisex guestroom for a restaurant, is there an exception that will allow me to?

From a code perspective, is design a dentist office in which NO one is “put to sleep” vs an oral surgeon different being as tho the oral surgeon will have patients sedated. Building being the same for either dentist. Are there things to look out for when a facility will sedate patients vs not?

When will the plumbing board of directors will update this, as there is another creature that been emerge other than male and female.

is high/low drinking fountains count as 1 or 2?
