Hello-
I am a student at a technical college in Missouri. Our class is currently working on a project for our lighting design class.It is a jail/halfway house. It has two separate area of housing, for men and women. It also has office space. The question we have run into is about calculating the total VA for this facility. In the table in Article 220.12, jails are not listed. One of the possible solutions that we have thought of is using 2 VA per square foot, because of the listing for "Hotels and motels, including apartment houses without provision for cooking by tenants". Alternatively, we could calculate the areas separately. If anyone has any information, or if anyone has done these kind of calculations before and is willing to help, please let us know.
