Hi there;
I have a planned remodel, with a bathroom and kitchen in close proximity, each of which will need a vent.
This is in California, so the California Mechanical Code (IAMPO UMC based) and California Residential Code (CRC) apply, along with the local energy code.
Question 1: I know that each of the vents must terminate on the outside wall, at least 3 feet from the operable portion of a window. But can the two vents be next to each other? What code section covers this exact situation for clearances of two similar vents, if any?
Question 2: The building is existing non-conforming with a 2' and 3' setback (where 3' is required in this area). Will I be allowed to place the new vents on the 3' property line wall, in this circumstance?
