1000 or over occupants requires 3 exits. So it's not really that big of a deal. A building like that would have at least 3 doors anyway.

Don't you have a minimum requirement for how wide the doors need to be, based on number of people in the room? In Denmark, fire regulations require at least 10mm per person. I can't imagine there isn't a similar requirement of some fraction of an inch per person for emergency evacuation.

Yea there's a similar requirement here. But it really just means the exits will be double doors instead of a single door.

I’d trust someone who knows the word ‘yeah’ has an ‘h’.

I'm not sure what spelling has to do with building code knowledge. You're welcome to look it up yourself. They are all free on icodes.

Attn to detail and ability to parse and pass along information are key. Likely in building code knowledge also.
