Hello, I’m working through MEP Systems Exercise A (Real World Practice) and had a question about #7:
When looking up the drinking fountain requirements, it’s true there would only be 1 required based on the table. But the table also says to look at IPC 410, which says there should not be fewer than two total drinking fountains, so that one of them can be ADA compliant. So I think the answer should be “two drinking fountains” but not that they are “split between men and women.” Let me know if I’m missing something here, thanks!
