3. Use Group / Occupancy

4. Restaurants and Lounges: Duct work – both HVAC & kitchen exhaust Equipment approval – fans and Mau units Gas piping layout – sizing, location, plenum Exhaust balance sheet – 10 degree >, 50% OA Cooking equipment location – fryers all under hood Grease duct elevation shown – Clearances and Compliance Combustion air compliance?

5. Use Group/Occupancy Offices: Duct layout – flex in accessible area? Return air plenum? Gas piping layout, sizes Equipment specs – R.A. smoke detect, outside air, economizer Access to roof? Equipment clearances – combustion air Fire ratings maintain? Ventilation? Provided, proper size toilet fans? Mix use R.A.

6. Use Group/Occupancy Industrial: Equipment listed? Install to listing? Gas pipe layout Ventilation – NFPA 91 – Chap 11 – Uniform Boiler and refrigeration rooms to compliance

7. Use Group/Occupancy Miscellaneous: Spray booths, auto service Dry cleaners High hazard – explosion relief

8. Correct Code Reference/Conformance

22. Exhaust Exhaust provides reasonable protection from hazards that involve materials and/or gases, which are flammable, explosive, toxic or otherwise hazardous

23. Exhaust What must be exhausted Byproducts of machines, vats, tanks, furnaces, forges, salamanders and devices which produce or throw off dust or particles that float in the air or which emit heat, odors, fumes, spray, gas or smoke in enough quantity to be irritating or injurious Fuel dispensing areas Equipment and service rooms Spray-painting and dipping rooms

24. Exhaust Motion picture projectors Dry-cleaning rooms LP gas distribution facilities Hazardous materials storage Public garages Cloths dryers Kitchens Specific rooms

25. Exhaust for Kitchens Exhaust must be designed to handle grease Fans are steel or listed alternate for cooking Fan motors are outside of exhaust air stream Fan blows upward Ducts no less than 16 ga steel or 18 ga stainless steel

26. Exhaust for Kitchens Duct joints welded or brazed (no screws) Non-combustible supports (no screws) Prevention of grease accumulation Duct clearances Make-up air equal to exhaust Tempered to within 10F of room temp
