All-
I recently finished a design for a wood structure day care facility, (1) level 
of attic heads and (1) level of ceiling heads. The GC has now decided in an 
effort to save money on the HVAC to attach drywall to the bottom of the wood 
joist and use the area between this drywall and the suspended ceiling as a 
return air plenum. If I'm reading 8.1.1.2.1 & 8.15.1.2.2 correctly I do not 
need to add a 3rd level of protection in this "plenum" area correct?
