Inquiry

This credit was crafted for single-family homes. This multi-family project has underground parking with mandatory 96,000 cfm exhaust system specifically for the garage. Are there any multi-unit modifications to allow 10.3 to be claimed?

Ruling

Multi-family buildings should use the following language for IEQ 10.3: Exhaust the garage sufficiently to create negative pressure with respect to adjacent spaces with the doors to the room closed. Provide self-closing doors and deck to deck partitions or a hard lid ceiling. The exhaust rate shall be at least 0.50 cfm/ ft2, with no air recirculation.
