Does a hospital soiled waste room require filtration on the exhaust?
(OP)
Local code aside, is there a requirement to filter exhaust air from bio hazard spaces, such as a hospital trash room? I see required air changes in ASHRAE, but I see no mention of filtering the exhaust air before it is discharged.
I have a situation where I will be exhausting from a hospital trash room and discharging at grade level. I don't see anything in the local code (Chicago) nor do I see anything in ASHRAE. The hospital maintenance man mentioned putting a HEPA on the exhaust, but I have never see that on a hospital exhaust. Any thoughts?

As for grade exhaust, it cant cause a nuisance to the public and should be within 25 feet of an intake.
Good luck
