Dishwashing Rooms and Exhaust

Hi Allyson, just my opinion, but I believe you should assume they do need to comply. Even if the project uses a "green" soap product (or other chemicals), as addressed in the LEEDuser narrative (above, last paragraph) a best intentions policy is a weak approach. With that said, I would think most rooms dedicated to washing dishes (or laundry) would want to exhaust directly outside to rid the air of the humidity, and in some cases, the latent heat. So, this may not be so difficult to achieve from the HVAC design/construction aspect. The required door closers and containment/partitioning are probably tougher conditions to meet, I would imagine. Good luck to you. David
