I am working on a 40,000sqft retail/mall (multiple shops under one roof, walls do not extend to the grid height, 3' clearance to grid). There are 3 exits in front, two side and 3 rear exits, multiple corridors and a central court area. I have not been given my egress paths yet but they are pretty obvious (divide the building on the center building lines and egress to the nearest exit in that quadrant) (200' x 200" building). What I am looking to find is the minimum spacing of the "Wal-pak" units to achieve my one (1) lumen per sqft. and a maximum mounting height (ceiling is up to 16' in places). I would like to mount them on boxes on top of the walls (10') or use cut-in boxes to lower them to 8'. I know exit signs are required at all exit doors, corridor intersections and corridors with limited/restricted view (zig-zags). Any suggestions on where to look? The City of Phoenix is very slow to respond to my questions.
