I am working on a 1200 sq ft addition to a commercial (bank) building with masonry walls with wooden roof trusses. There is no sprinkler system in the building. Nothing will be stored above the dropped ceiling. The insulation is on the roof, so there will be no insulation in the space above the ceiling. ACT will be installed for the ceiling. All wiring and plumbing above the ceiling will be plenum rated (no PVC, etc.).
Can the space above the ceiling be used as an HVAC plenum return? Sheet metal supply ducts will be installed for all supply diffusers from the RTU. The RTU is 2.5 tons.
