Is 54" OK for side approach? Would a T-stat in a Bagel joint be subject to ADA requirements? Baths, parking, seating, ect are.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Doesn't matter...If you allow blacks to use the same drinking fountain as whites are you going to use more water. It is a civil rights law.Pcinspector1 said:Q. By lowering the height of a wall mounted thermostat, do you think the furnace would come on more often and use more energy? or it would remain about the same?
Equal access,,,,,mtlogcabin said:I wonder if it would include the fake ones we installed in large office buildings so the workers thought they had control over the HVAC settings? They did not control anything.
Years ago my dad was a manager in a photoprocessing plant and the people doing the printing in cubilcle complained of too hot or too cold in adjacent cubes--he bought a box of cheap thermometers and asked each woman what temp they wanted their cubicle, gave them the appropriate thermometer, and the complaints ended.north star said:= = =Placebo environmental controls, ...interesting concept!

Where is that in the code? ADA?Min&Max said:Max 48" high. It can be higher if it is secured in a locked box and only accessible by maintenance staff.
Correct. That is the exact response given by an ADA instructor at a seminar that I attended a while back. If it located in a locked box that is controlled by maintenance staff that must be ambulatory to perform their daily duties, the thermostat can be located above the normal 48" max reach requirement.Min&Max said:Max 48" high.

Better question; Why do some always try to interpret the code to be more restrictive than it actually is?mark handler said:Where is that in the code? ADA?what if the manager is a wheeler?
Why do we always try to go around the code?
