Hello Equesters,

In a case where we have an Auto Repair garage where the minimum ventilation
rates set by local code (i.e. Ministry of Labour) is greater than what the
reference building would use, is it adequate to modify the reference
building ventilation rate to match that of the proposed.

In my case the ventilation rate in this Auto Repair garage is 2cfm/ft2 and
for the reference it would be 0.7cfm/ft2.

I appreciate any help.
