Bedroom Air Returns

Bedroom Air Returns

Bedroom Air Returns

(OP)
Does GA building code require return air ducts in every bedroom?  We have return ducts in the hallway only, and an engineering inspector told a potential buyer that we were not within GA code.  Anyone out there know?

RE: Bedroom Air Returns

For residential?  That's kinda crazy... the corridor cannot be used as a return air path for commercial applications (smoke control), but for residential you should be ok.  It shouldn't take long to find out.  Call up the local code juridiction and get a copy of what it says, word for word.  The inspector probably knows it just as well, and will call it a 'ruling' or 'judgement call', but be sure you know what you are talking about before tackling the issue.
