I am still waiting (patiently) for you to explain about this source of fresh outside-air you suddenly said you have available.
Exactly what is the source? And what does it go into?

Ventalation and code

Good point Keith. I didn't mean that to come out so harshly.
No need to call me names man. I have a permit.Rod, I already know your take on this (I think I stole the erroneous "gold standard" analogy from you), but if you have any energy left, let'er rip! :-) It'll probably be a moot point, but it'll at least serve as a good example how not to do things... :roll: --Keith :mrgreen:
It is a door. The door to the studio opens to a larger room and that door opens to the hall way which opens directly to the wide outdoors. When those doors are open the ventilation is quite strong. Of course when they are shut then air will only come in the studio when I turn the unit on. It's my problem Rod. We will deal with it. You have been more than helpfull. I appreciate it.I am still waiting (patiently) for you to explain about this source of fresh outside-air you suddenly said you have available. Exactly what is the source? And what does it go into?

eruss, ok - now I can call the inspector - I am certain that the cali bldg. code reads as all of the rest of them do (I own 3 totally different codes that allread the same regarding fresh air - and adjoining spaces) and those are (of course) minimum standards- I know that cali considers their codes to be the "Gold Standards" that the rest f the country should set it's sights by........ So not only are you talking about taking air from an adjoining space (which would mean that your door could not be installed - but from an adjoining space that is getting it's air from another adjoining space....... which means that none of the doors could be installed........ BTW - my interperetation of the code is that it does not allow rooms in a row like that - you only get one room off of the adjoining space - and that immediate space has to has the direct connection to the outside world....... I'll try to make that call tomorrow to verify........ Thanks, RodIt is a door.

Dude, show me the name I called you, and I'll edit my post to remove it and then I'll apologize. The worst I've done is assume you don't have a permit. You say that you do, so I shall take you at your word. However, based on the fact that you're building habitable space, I suspect (again, assume) that your permit is invalid because, based on everything I've been seeing, there's no way you can meet code, and the permit is (or definitely should be) based on a plan review to ensure it does meet code before it is issued. I'm going to go out on a limb here and state that I think your permit is based on non-habitable space, such as a storage room, which would be compatible with a warehouse type building. I realize the risk I run by assuming things -- something we strive to avoid here -- but it's the only thing that makes any sense to me in the greater context of everything I've seen so far. --Keith :mrgreen:No need to call me names man.
