Is there an I.B.C. code article that is specific to the required emergency lighting levels in a below grade parking structure? I am curious if it defines the areas that require emergency lighting and the minimal levels, in particular the general parking areas and drive aisles.

I.B.C ?
I'm not sure if any building codes cover EM lighting. You may want to look in Life Safty 101.

1 foot-candle average
0.1 foot-candle minimum at any point along the path of egress at floor level

Not specific to the occupancy type.
