Hey gang, how are you interpreting code section 403.3 footnote b for cooking kitchens? Do you allow a HVAC system to install a return in a kitchen to condition air for the kitchen area?

no it's prohibited, all air supplied shall be exhausted including air in excess of what's required in accordance with section (2012) 403.2.1 item 3.

Francis has nailed it !........They CAN install a separate system to
condition just the Kitchen Areas, but ALL Return Air must be
exhausted to an approved location, and cannot be recirculated
back in to the interior spaces [ i.e. - it's too contaminated with
F.O.G. particulates, ...combustion products, etc. ].
