The Three Components of Means of Egress

Understanding exit access, exit, and exit discharge

🚢

Exit Access

NFPA 101 Β§ 7.2

The portion of a means of egress that leads to an exit. This includes corridors, aisles, ramps, and stairs that provide a path from any occupied space to an exit.

πŸšͺ

Exit

NFPA 101 Β§ 7.1

The portion of a means of egress that is separated from other building spaces by construction. Includes exit enclosures (stairwells), exit passageways, and exterior exit doors.

πŸƒ

Exit Discharge

NFPA 101 Β§ 7.7

The portion of a means of egress between the termination of an exit and a public way. This is the path from the exit door to a safe location outside the building.

Travel Distance Analysis

Automatic calculation and compliance verification

Automatic Measurement

Based on your sketch scale, our AI calculates the travel distance from any point to the nearest exit. Distances are displayed on the diagram and flagged if they exceed code limits.

Occupancy-Based Limits

Travel distance limits vary by occupancy type. Business occupancies allow 200-300 ft, while high-hazard areas may be limited to 75 ft. Select your occupancy type for accurate limits.

Common Path Marking

The common path of egress travel - the distance from any point until two separate egress paths become available - is calculated and marked to ensure it doesn't exceed code limits.

Occupied Space
Common Path: 45 ft
Exit Access
Total Travel: 180 ft

Exit B

Travel distances automatically calculated and displayed

Dead-End Corridor Detection

Automatic identification of egress hazards

⚠️

The Problem

Dead-end corridors trap occupants if their only egress path is blocked. NFPA 101 limits dead-ends to 20 feet (50 feet if sprinklered) in most occupancies.

Our Solution

Our AI automatically detects dead-end corridors in your sketch and measures their length. Non-compliant dead-ends are highlighted in red with distance measurements.

Remediation Tips

If dead-ends exceed limits, consider adding a secondary exit, installing sprinklers to increase allowable length, or reconfiguring the layout to eliminate the dead-end.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about egress route diagrams

What is an egress route diagram?

An egress route diagram shows the complete means of egress - the path from any occupied space to a public way. It includes three components: exit access (the path to an exit), the exit itself (the protected portion like stairs or exit passageway), and exit discharge (the path from the exit to outside). Our diagrams clearly show all three components.

How is an egress diagram different from an evacuation map?

Egress diagrams focus specifically on the technical means of egress - showing exit access, exit, and exit discharge components with travel distances and code compliance elements. Evacuation maps are more user-friendly for general occupants. Many facilities need both: technical egress diagrams for planning/compliance and simple evacuation maps for posting.

Does the generator calculate travel distances?

Yes. Based on your sketch dimensions, the AI calculates and displays travel distances from various points to exits. It flags any areas that may exceed code limits (typically 200-300 feet depending on occupancy). This helps identify potential compliance issues in your egress design.

What egress code requirements does the generator follow?

The generator follows NFPA 101 Life Safety Code and OSHA egress requirements. This includes: maximum travel distances, common path of egress limits, dead-end corridor restrictions, exit width requirements, and exit separation distances. Select your occupancy type for specific requirement application.

Can I use this for code compliance review?

Yes. Generate egress diagrams from preliminary sketches to verify compliance before construction or renovation. Identify issues with exit locations, travel distances, or egress capacity early. The diagram serves as documentation for fire marshal review and permit applications.

What if my building has egress problems?

If the generator identifies potential egress issues - excessive travel distances, insufficient exits, or dead-end problems - it provides recommendations. You can then modify your sketch to address issues and regenerate the diagram to verify improvements meet code requirements.
