2006 IMC. I have an auto glass installation business. It has 2 bays that can hold 3 cars at a time. Ventilation requirements??? I'm not well versed in the mechanical codes. Any help would be appriciated.
JP Exception 3 is probably what you are looking for, However in our climates it is not unusual for a vehicle to warm up 5-15 minutes before driving them outside so you might ask for detector to monitor emmissions for high level to alert the workers to open a door when it is 15 degrees and a 30 mph wind blowing outside which is normal in WY502.14 Motor vehicle operation.In areas where motor vehicles operate, mechanical ventilation shall be provided in accordance with Section 403. Additionally, areas in which stationary motor vehicles are operated shall be provided with a source capture system that connects directly to the motor vehicle exhaust systems.
Exceptions:
1. This section shall not apply where the motor vehicles being operated or repaired are electrically powered.
2. This section shall not apply to one- and two-family dwellings.
3. This section shall not apply to motor vehicle service areas where engines are operated inside the building only for the duration necessary to move the motor vehicles in and out of the building.
Congratulations on your new venture, jp!2006 IMC. I have an auto glass installation business.
