Ventilation for cannabis extraction facilities

[Permit Office 1]

Has anyone come across this situation. We are getting complaints about the odor from a cannabis extraction facility. does the building code address ventilation for odor outside of the facility. or has any jurisdiction added any requirement to the local code to address this issue.

 

[ICE]

There might be a local ordinance that deals with this issue. There is bound to be a rich history of municipalities that have faced a similar dilemma with factories and restaurants. Ask Chat GPT.
