Chapter:

FLORIDA MAUSOLEUM CONSTRUCTION

Overview

RULE:

69K-13.005

Pressure Relief Ventilation

PURPOSE:

In 2007, Section 497.271(2)(c), F.S., was amended to specifically provide that private or family mausoleums with all crypts bordering an exterior wall contain pressure relief ventilation from the crypts to the outside of the mausoleum through the exterior wall or roof. In 2007, the Florida Building Code Commission enacted changes to Section 430 (Mausoleums and Columbariums) and Section 515 (Mausoleum Relief Vent) of the Florida Building Code to reflect the 2007 legislative changes to Section 497.271(2)(c), F.S. The proposed Board rule adopts the provisions of those changes to the Florida Building Code.

SUMMARY:

The proposed rule adopts the standards of the Florida Building Code that require family mausoleum units where all crypts are bordering an exterior wall, to have pressure relief ventilation provided from the crypt to the outside of the mausoleum through the exterior wall or roof. For all other mausoleum units, each crypt shall have a pressure relief vent from the crypt to the roof of the mausoleum.
