Inquiry
According to ASHRAE Std. 62.2, the kitchen ventilation requirement can be met with continuous ventilation that meets 5 kitchen ACH. In some small units, the kitchen is open to a much larger room. In this case, how do we define the kitchen ACH?
Ruling
ASHRAE 62.2 is unclear on how to define the kitchen area, so Green Raters and project teams are granted discretion when defining the kitchen area.
