Health Club Sauna

[JMORRISON]

The only place I find regs regarding commercial saunas is IMC Section 914. Anybody familiar with any others? (accessible, exiting, sanitation, drains, ventilation into existing space/moisture control)

Thanks

IBC 2406.3 #5 covers any glazing in the door or room. If it is gas fired, the fuel gas code has info in 615.

I have usually found the requirements in the health code for the city, county, state, etc.
