<html><body style="font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">It is an interesting issue. If you have a peak roof with modules on the south side only, venting through the north side is wide open. Possibly the NEC could acknowledge this fact. <br><br><br><blockquote class="atmailquote"><br>----- Original Message -----<br><div id="origionalMessageFromField" style="width:100%;display:inline;background:rgb(228,228,228);"><div style="display:inline;font-weight:bold;">From:</div> "RE-wrenches" <re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org></div><br><div id="origionalMessageToField" style="display:inline;font-weight:bold;">To:</div>"RE-wrenches" <re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org><br><div id="origionalMessageSentField" style="display:inline;font-weight:bold;">Cc:</div><br><div style="display:inline;font-weight:bold;">Sent:</div>Thu, 12 Jul 2018 15:07:18 -0500<br><div id="origionalMessageSubjectField" style="display:inline;font-weight:bold;">Subject:</div>Re: [RE-wrenches] Solar set backs<br><br><br><div dir="ltr">I had a student tell me that firefighters are often venting through the gable side wall as opposed to the roof.

<p>NYSERDA out of NY has reasonable amendments to the IBC for setbacks for access and ventilation. They clarify that the hip roof valley is 18" either side for a total of 36" width. </p>

<p class="m_6862017446381436484x_MsoNormal">Specifically 605.11.1.2 is for residential buildings. There is some conflict in terms of Hip roofs in the code there. 605.11.1.2.2 states a single 3ft path on one edge or another for a hip roof, but 605.11.1.2.4 states that an 18 space is allowed when modules are mounted on two adjacent roof planes with a hip roof.</p>
