Chapter 8 section 810 of the Florida Existing Building Code 8th Edition does not explicitly identify when a change in plumbing fixture type or quantity is required under the alteration level 2 classification.
Therefore, is the intent of the Existing Building Code to defer the requirements for plumbing fixtures to section 1010.1 Florida Existing Building Code 8th Edition such that the change in plumbing fixtures to meet current code requirements is only required when the building or space is subject to a change in occupancy?
