3.  Reviewed and provided recommendations to the Commission on the request for declaratory statement DCA08-DEC-147 by John Berry, Cole & Russell Architects, Inc. as follows:

 

Question:          Is it the intent of Rule 9B.0472 to require CO detection within 10’ of all sleeping rooms throughout this entire facility, when the fossil fueled appliances are centrally and remotely located several hundred feet and several stories from the apartment units?

 

 

Answer:            No.  According to Section 705.1 of the FBC, Building, the facility in question consists of three buildings and thus Rule 9B-3.0472 provisions will only apply to the North Building and the Central Building where the fossil-fuel burning appliances are proposed to be located.

 
4. Reviewed and discussed proposed code changes to the Mechanical code and provided recommendation for consideration by the Commission.
