What is the code for not returning bathroom exhaust back into the Air Conditioning system for offices?
 
(Based on the 2006 IMC)

Ohio Mechanical Code
501.2 Exhaust discharge. The air removed by every mechanical exhaust system shall be discharged outdoors at a point where it will not cause a nuisance and not less than the distances specified in Section 501.2.1 . The air shall be discharged to a location from which it cannot again be readily drawn in by a ventilating system. Air shall not be exhausted into an attic or crawl space.
Exceptions:
1. Whole-house ventilation-type attic fans shall be permitted to discharge into the attic space of dwelling unit shaving private attics.
2. Commercial cooking recirculating systems.
