Inquiry

We think we meet the intent of this credit but would like the committe\'s opinion prior to application so that we may address any concerns you may have. Part 1, entryway systems. no questions part 2, deck-to-deck partitions and exhaust. Our housekeeping rooms have deck-to-deck partitions and are exhausted directly to outdoors. We have some labs where chemical use occurs and those have 100% outside air with approximately 10 air changes/hr. We do not have any dedicated copy/print rooms. Copying is done at several small copiers dispersed throughout the office areas. Since our client does not need a dedicated copy/print room, must we build one to qualify for credit? Part 3, drains. All of our drains go to the same main sanitary line. There are no grease traps, acid neutralization tanks or other means to separate or treat liquid waste. Can you please define what it means to have "sinks and drains plumbed for appropriate disposal of liquid wastes?" (p. 250)
