To replace a furnace in the basement of an existing building, located in a flood zone, where must the new furnace be located?
Appendix 120.G501.7 and 120.G601.6 in 780 CMR directs the installer to place any new or replacement electrical, heating, ventilation, air conditioning and other service equipment above the base flood elevation or protected so as to prevent water from entering or accumulating with the system. During the permit process this flood elevation should be addressed prior to the permit being issued and during the final inspection.
