Council votes to advance mechanical-code amendment aligning provisions with ASHRAE appendix
Summary
The Council directed staff to include a proposed IMC amendment (1104.3.2) — rephrased as permissible compliance options to align with the ASHRAE appendix — in the CR103 filing for the next rulemaking step after a motion and voice vote.
Council staff presented editorial amendments to the 2024 IMC intended to conform certain sections to the current referenced standard. Benjamin Omura explained that the amendments restated prior exceptions as permissible compliance options and added related reference standards. "...it would be contingent on having, having these amendments adopted," Omura said while describing dependencies between the editorial changes.
Councilmember Jay Arnold moved that staff be directed to include the amendment (as shown in the draft CRM3) in the CR103; Tom Handy seconded the motion. Todd Beyreuther called a voice vote and the motion passed. Jay Arnold framed the change as largely editorial and aimed at retaining the proposal's intent while aligning text to the referenced standard.
The motion advances an IMC text change into the next formal rulemaking step; staff and the TAG will continue work on the related mechanical-code items and bring subsequent drafts back to the Council for CR103 and eventual CR104/CR103 sequence as required.
