I have been trying to find the building code for venting an electric dryer, stove hood, and bathroom fans. According to the information I got from the structural engineer who is working with my expeditor, it seems like the bath fan can be combined with the stove hood, but both need to be separate from the dryer. And it’s okay to put them out the back, on the garden side, but they have to be at least ten feet away from a ventilating window. <\/p>\n

But I can’t see any way that anyone in Brownstone Brooklyn can vent 10 feet away from a window, since most houses are only 20 feet wide. I have seen at friend’s house that their stove hoods and dryers make a straight path to the exterior rear wall and are closer than ten feet from windwos, but i am worried about violating building code, since this is a filed job. My contractor thinks it’s best to vent it off the roof, but that’s going to require breaking open a lot of walls, since we’re talking about the drayer and bath fan on the garden and the stove hood and another bath fan on the parlor. <\/p>\n

Unfortunately, since we are doing our reno on the cheap, we don’t have an architect whom I can call with this question.<\/p>\n %<\/span><\/span> | %<\/span><\/a> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
