Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Ansul hood in the common house kitchen

[Bryan Bowen (bryan]

Generally it boils down to the mechanical code plans examiner or the fire
marshal. I think I have a copy of an interpretation from our local building
official justifying the use of a regular (non fire suppression hood) in our
co-ops and cohousing projects here in Boulder. I'll try to dig that up.
There was a code change several years ago that made this a more likely
interpretation.
