The TAC reviewed DCA09-DEC – 351 by Richard Moore, President, AAF and disagreed with staff;s opinion with a 5/4  vote of “No” to the answer. The Commission will need to resolve this issue at the December 2009 FBC meeting in Orlando.

 

Question:         In the case of sunrooms attached to single family dwellings, do the provisions of AAMA 2100 related to receptacle outlets prevail?

 

Answer:          No.  NFPA 70 is more restrictive with regard to electrical requirements for sunrooms and therefore in according to Section 102.1 of the FBC, Building, NFPA 70’s provisions prevail over AAMA 2100 with regard to the subject in question.

The meeting was adjourned at 2:20PM
