About this asset

This Revit annotation family provides a structured room tag for calculating and displaying occupant load data in floor plans. The tag features a clean, professional layout designed for clarity in architectural documentation. It comprises a rectangular frame divided into two primary sections: an upper row for room identification and area, and a lower row specifically for occupant density calculations. The text is formatted for high legibility at standard architectural scales. This component is built as a native Revit family, allowing for seamless integration with existing project parameters. The layout is minimalist, ensuring that it remains readable even in crowded plan views without obscuring critical building information or wall line-work.

The download is a 154 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

Users should load this family into their project and assign it to the room tag category. Once active, the tag automatically reads project parameters associated with room objects. If specific data fields do not populate, ensure that the corresponding shared parameters are correctly mapped within the project environment. The tag is designed for standard 1:50 or 1:100 scale floor plans, where its proportions maintain consistent readability across various documentation sheets and presentation drawings.

This annotation is essential for architects and code consultants working on life safety plans, building permit sets, and occupancy analysis. It is frequently employed in commercial, residential, and institutional projects to display area calculations alongside occupant density ratios. By standardising the presentation of load data, it helps streamline the review process for building control departments. Professionals typically use this tag alongside room schedules to ensure consistency between plan-based occupancy data and global project reports, facilitating faster project sign-off during the design development phase.
