Continue discussion of 2012 IRC ordinance and significant changes to mechanical portions of 2015 IRC

There was a discussion on the language of the proposed amendment concerning return air from more than one floor level. The language was changed to read: “Multiple floors shall not utilize the same stud wall cavity to convey air”.
