The final point I'd make is this: When you say "Gives clear direction" and "Code official" I shutter!
As my Friend Mr. Caputo say's in his seminars. "Everyone knows what the code or standard means until the second person reads it." Or words to that effect. Most questions on this forum come from that "Clearly given code or standard direction" If full time professionals can't agree to what it say's all of the time, how can you expect an AHJ who usually has many other duties to be able too. I'm putting away the soap box now, thank you for your attention. Those of you seeking CEU credit for participation, please see Roland. Subject: RE: System Area Size When there is no code reference to a subject I agree that the AHJ's in most cases will defer to a recognized industry standard. BUT, when they have a CODE, adopted by their jurisdiction which gives a clear direction, good luck swaying someone to go a different route. We all know how it works but a local govt official, is in most cases going to stick to the book he's been told to follow. Craig L.
