Current through Vol. 24-12, July 15, 2024
Rule 656.
(1) If
				  power exhaust ventilation is to be used, there shall be an air supply equal to
				  the amount exhausted, especially in areas that house combustion
				  equipment.
(2) Fan and air-handling
				  equipment used for recirculating air in more than 1 room or a single area shall
				  be located in a room that is cut off from other portions of the building by
				  construction that has not less than a 1-hour-fire-resistance rating. A room
				  that houses fans and air-handling equipment shall not be used for any
				  combustible storage.
(3) A duct or
				  plenum which employs mechanical means for the movement of air and which is used
				  for heating and ventilation, including warm air heating systems, plain
				  ventilating systems, air-conditioning systems, or exhaust systems, shall be
				  constructed entirely of noncombustible material.
If a duct or plenum of an existing system is constructed,
					 wholly or in part, of combustible materials, it shall be reconstructed entirely
					 of noncombustible materials, if possible. If revamping or reconstruction is
					 impractical due to design or construction, the inspecting authority may accept
					 the existing installation if heat-actuated fire dampers are installed in each
					 return air duct opening from every room or space.
(4) A heat-actuated fire damper shall be
				  installed on the discharge side of each recirculating fan unit that serves more
				  than 1 room or a single area and, where practicable and feasible, there shall
				  be an approved thermostatic device that has a setting of not more than 125
				  degrees Fahrenheit located in the system at a suitable point in the return air
				  duct ahead of the fresh air intake, actuation of which shall open the
				  electrical circuit that supplies the fan motor. If it is impracticable to
				  locate a thermostatic device ahead of the fresh air intake, an approved heat or
				  smoke-actuated device, actuation of which will open the electrical circuit that
				  supplies the fan motor, shall be located at a suitable point in the air duct on
				  the discharge side of the fan.
(5)
				  If an existing system utilizes corridors or exitways as return air plenums, the
				  system shall be revamped to eliminate the utilization of corridors or exitways
				  as return air plenums. If revamping is impractical due to design or
				  construction, the inspecting authority may accept the existing system if an
				  approved smoke detector is installed in each separated area of the corridors or
				  exitways to automatically open the electrical circuit that supplies the fan
				  motor. A smoke detector shall incorporate visual or audible signals to indicate
				  any trouble that would interfere with the proper operation of the smoke
				  detector. A stairway shall not be used as a return air plenum.
