Even when considering high schools, the decrease should be less if they have extensive shops. It is expec[ed that in co�nercial buildings no percentage increase or decrease for occupancy will be epplied :n most of the fire flow de- tex�inations. In general, percentage increase or decrease wi21 not be , a[ the limits of + 25%. EXPOSURES When de[ermining exposures it is necessary to understand that the exposure percentage increase for a fire in a building (x) ex- posing ano[her building (y) does nat necessarily equal the percentage increase vhen the fire is in building (y) exposing building (x) . The Guide gives the maximum possible percentage for exposure at specified distances. Nowever, these maximum percentages should not be used for all exposures at those distances. In each case the percentage applied should reflect the actual conditions but should not exceed the per- centage listed. The maximum percen[age for the separations listed generally should be used if the exposed building mee[s all of the following conditions: a. Same type or a poorer type of construction than the fire buildi::g. b. Same or �reater height than the fire building. I c. Con[ains unprotected exposed openings. d. Unsprinklered. � C , -7-
