AI for Egress Analysis

Egress analysis encompasses the entire path from any occupied space to the public way — through rooms, corridors, stairs, exit passageways, and exterior exit paths. AI traces every possible egress path and verifies compliance at every point along the route, catching issues that are easy to miss when checking manually.

The most common egress issues AI catches are dead-end corridors that exceed the allowable length, travel distances that exceed the maximum for the occupancy and sprinkler status, common paths of travel where occupants have only one direction to reach a second exit, and exit capacity calculations where the aggregate exit width does not serve the occupant load. Each finding references the specific code section and the specific location on the drawings.

AI egress analysis is especially valuable when design changes affect egress paths. Moving a wall, adding a room, or changing an occupancy classification can invalidate a previously compliant egress layout. AI re-analyzes the entire egress system after each change, ensuring that modifications do not create new non-compliant conditions in areas of the building that seemed unrelated to the change.
