Inquiry

This is a large multi-family project. This project is planning to meet IEQ 4.1 with continuous bathroom exhaust. However, the project team will not create exhaust pentrations for each kitchen because of the exceptional cost. They plan to use recirculating kitchen hoods, and they can plan to increase the bathroom exhaust to a higher air flow (i.e. 45 CFM higher). The kitchen is located within 10 feet of the air handler, which should increase air exchange in the kitchen. Can this approach pass for IEQ prerequisite 5.1?
