1. Please identify where the Whole House Mechanical ventilation is to be located and how
this will be achieved on the set of plans. It is apparent that a continuous fan rating 50 CFM
is to be installed in the Laundry room. There is concern that the fan along with other
mechanical appliances in that room may affect the proper Combustion air requirements.
