Can a project provide one shared exhaust system for two hazardous gas/chemical use areas? Or to comply with the term "designated" does each space needs its own exhaust system? We'd like to use the same system for a mechanical room and a garage.
Thanks in advance.

I don't see the term "designated" in the current credit requirements. Seems like this is okay. I think the intent would be to not combine these exhaust systems with regular building air systems.

I concur. They can be combine as long as it is not prohibited by local code. Eg: grease exhaust wouldn't be combine with restroom exhaust.
