Framing @ Rooftop Unit Openings
Framing @ Rooftop Unit Openings
(OP)
This is a survey: With steel framed roofs, do you require framing around the supply air and return air openings in addition to providing framing for the RTU itself?
Thanks
Thanks

Here are some reasons I can think of to not remove all of the deck:
1) Lateral support of framing members, bar joists in particular.
2) Safety hazard during construction? (I an not sure at what stage of unit installation they would cut the holes).
3) Good to have as much of the roofing continuous as possible due to sound considerations?
