Sometimes it seams to be easier to combine the air duct system of the exhaust system of a restroom to that of a smoking room. In my oppinion there is no problem to match the requirement on the ventilation, if the system exhausts directly to outdoors.
I hope I'm right.

Hello,
as my question above is not answered yet, I have an additional Question.
Within a CS-Project the owner is not willing to provide public smoking rooms. Furthermore there is no possibility to provide onsite outdoor smoking areas at a suitable position (25 ft). Some of the tenants decided to build their own smoking rooms some didn’t.
Is there a responsibility for building owners to provide designated smoking areas onsite in CS-Projects?
Thank you for your answers.
Ralf

Ralf, based on the credit requirements it seems that if the exhaust from the smoking room meets the required pressure, it's okay to combined the exhaust with other rooms.For your other question, building owners must either prohibit smoking, or if smoking will be allowed in designated places, the requirements outlined in the credit language must be followed, even if it's the tenant that builds the room. Make sense?
