"open" parking structure
"open" parking structure
(OP)
Hi!
When you calculate opening area and length ratio according to IBC 406.5,
do you include exterior walls below the grade level?
If a parking garage is surrounded with three sides of attached apartments,
can you make it 'open' parking structure?
(Like a parking garage exposed only in the south elevation.)
Thanks in advance!
