Q 1 - If the approved permit documents and energy calcs exclude the kitchen hood and make up air, therfore no information is provided for a "Mechanical Rough inspection" for that portion of the mechanical system, should the AHJ approved the rough in inspection without first requiring the Builder to provide verification the installed duct will deliver 1,200 cfm ?
Q 2 - Would a 2nd floor wall, inside a stairwell that is in a hallway / living room around the corner from the kitchen, but otherwise open to 1st floor, typically be considered a permanent opening into the kitchen that is on the 1st floor and around the corner?
