CODE: |
2006 International Residential Code / VIAQ |
|
SECTION: |
Appendix F / VIAQ 502.1.2 |
|
QUESTION: |
With the adoption of Appendix F, how does the state Ventilation and Indoor Air Quality Code apply to the 2006 IRC? If a home is built under the IRC using the provisions of Section R408.3, do the requirements of VIAQ Section 502.1.2 apply? |
|
ANSWER: |
The intent is that
a building built under the IRC use Appendix F for radon mitigation as
applicable rather than the VIAQ Chapter 5. However, the rest of the VIAQ (Chapters
3 and 4) would still apply to any structures built under the IRC. Chapter 5
of the VIAQ would apply to any residential structures built under the IBC. If a building is constructed
under the IRC using the unvented crawlspace provisions of Section R408.3,
Section R327.1 would require that the building also comply with Appendix F
for radon mitigation, rather than the VIAQ Chapter 5. |
