I need help with comments that a plan reviewer made about egress illumination in a commerial office building. He refered to the North Carolina Fire Prevention Code 1003.2.11 that says "The means of egress, including the exit discharge, shall be illuminated at all times the building space served by the means of egress is occupied." His comments indicate to satisfy this requirement there has to be either a wall switch and light at the egress or night-lighting. This is inside the building, not outside and is not related to the requirements for normal power, not emergency lighting. I have not had this requirement noted on plans before. Is anyone familiar with this interpetation? Are there other ways to satisfy this requirement?
