Read the other one posted but what is your opinion of this one.
Existing Church with a semi-vaulted ceiling. The existing finished ceiling creates an attic space below the original roof. There does not appear to be any attic ventilation in the existing system. Plans call for new roof several feet above the old roof without taking the old roof off.
I question allowing the new roof over the old period. Not to mention how do you vent both attic spaces if the old one is left in place? Talk about cutting holes in the existing roof for venting. The building is Type II-B built under the old SBC. The roof is wood decking both existing and proposed. The framing will be steel.
Any good code sections I can use about new roof constructed over old. Oh, the building does not have a sprinkler system. Now possible draftstopping issues????
Architect and Structural Engineer are on the project. This roof over an existing roof is puzzling to me.
