The client of an commercial interiors project location wants to avoid the use of motorized dampers where possible. The project extends over only the third (top) floor and a section of the first level basement of an existing office building . I was wondering if we can motivate exemption under the "buildings less than three stories in height above grade" as the project is only active across two floors. Do you have any guidance on that?

Good morning, I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts regarding this request or if there is no way around motorised dampers.
Many thanks in advance.

For LEED purposes I think that you would qualify for the exception. The LEED CI requirements are based on your scope of work and your scope of work would comply with the mandatory provision with a non-motorized damper.
