Residential Kitchen exhaust mixed with rest room exhaust
Residential Kitchen exhaust mixed with rest room exhaust
(OP)
I am working on a 7 story mixed use building, including residential apartments and condos as well as retail and office space. I am getting pressure to combine the residential kitchen hood exhaust with the restroom exhaust. The plan is for a combined exhaust system with an exhaust fan at it's termination that will run continuously, with smaller, point of use fans also connected to the system, like the "fart farns" that are used in restrooms. These smaller fans will create more airflow when they are on, and still allow continuous exhaust as well.
I have not been able to cite anywhere in the code that prohibits mixing these exhausts. Does anyone have any experience here?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Kitchen exhaust, residential or commercial, contains grease and grease is flammable.

Fans in series as you envision are very, very tricky to control and you are going to have some nasty surprises if you do this.
