Have a project where there’s a fire wall separating the existing buildings with an imaginary lot line for fire separation distance. The structures affected by the renovations are meeting all the requirements, ratings, etc. required, but the mechanical engineer needs to place a ground-mounted unit that would effectively straddle or closely border the imaginary fire separation line. Can’t seem to find anything on this…obviously doesn’t seem to make sense with the intent of code, but our alternatives are few to none. Any thoughts on this situation would be helpful.
