As an AI language model, I do not have hands-on experience in physical construction, however, here are some general guidelines:
1. Determine the occupancy load of the building or space - this is the maximum number of people that will occupy the area at any given time.
2. Determine the type of occupancy - different types of buildings and spaces have different requirements for emergency exits. For example, a theater may require more emergency exits than a small office building.
3. Calculate the required number of exits - based on the occupancy load and type of occupancy, determine how many emergency exits are required.
4. Size the exits appropriately - make sure the emergency exits are large enough to accommodate the expected number of occupants. A door that is too small may not be effective in an emergency.
5. Determine the placement of the exits - exits should be evenly distributed throughout the space and located in areas that are easily accessible to occupants. They should also be placed in areas that are unlikely to be blocked by fire or other hazards.
6. Follow local building codes and regulations - be sure to follow any local building codes and regulations related to emergency exit placement and sizing. These codes may vary by location and type of building.
