Cell B5 will contain the total Occupant load which is an input I have to
provide because it will vary from job to job. Cell C9 is a value of 500 and will not change. It is the Plumbing Codes ratio of 1-WC plumbing fixture for every 500-people. Cell C13 is the answer from B5 divided by C9 where the numerical value is ROUNDEDUP to the next whole number but with some additional input as addressed below. This cell will be the plumbing fixture count or requirements. Here is the catch for C13 (Note: the same formula will be used in C15); I want C13 to provide several answers as follows: 1. When the total Occupant load in B5 is 50 or less C13 is to read €śUni-sex€ť 2. When the total Occupant load in B5 is 51 or more C13s numerical answer will be derived from (B5C9) x 50%. The answer would be the required number of fixtures to be provided for each sex. If 51 people are the occupant load, then by Code I will be required to have separate sex restrooms. I can divide the total fixture count by half between the sexes once the occupant load is 51 or more. I will have a cell for Men (C13) and Women (C15) with the same formulas. Do not forget that the numerical answer if it contains decimals is to be ROUNDED UP to the next whole number. (ex: 0.01 must be rounded up to 1) Now to another Cell B18; =IF((C13+C15)<6,"N/A","REQUIRED") is the current formula and it will have to be modified to provide three answers as follows. 1. If the occupant load in B5 is 50 or under then B18 should read €śALLOWED€ť and 2. if the occupant load in B5 is 51 or more then B18 should read €śN/A€ť and (See NOTE) 3. if C13+C15 totals 6 or more then B18 should read €śREQUIRED€ť. (See NOTE) NOTE: there maybe a conflict of #1 or #2 with #3 because #3 is totaling fixtures required for Men and Women and #1 or #2 is based on total occupant loads. As the occupant load increases over 51 each sex restroom will have an increase in fixtures base on half of the fixture count used for each sex. Since the numerical value is rounded up then a total occupant load of 2001 will push the aggregate total of Men and Women fixtures to 6 and will invoke the Uni-sex €śREQUIRED€ť. A total occupant load of 2000 will not require uni-sex. I am using this cell to flag when another type of Uni-sex restroom is required. If the total fixture count in Men (C13) + Women (C15) is 6 or more then the Code requires a Uni-sex (Family room) in addition to the separate sex restrooms. I do not need the quotation marks to read. This is different from the Assembly occupancies I receive help on earlier this week. |
