 9.10.13.15. Doors between Garages and Dwelling Units

This Article requires that #doors between a #garage and a #dwelling unit be constructed so as to reduce the passage of exhaust #fumes and #gasoline #vapours into habitable areas. To reduce this risk, any door from the garage to the house must be #weatherstripped and have an automatic door closer to keep the door from being accidentally left open (Figure 9.10.-22). Since there is always some leakage past the weatherstripping under wind conditions, doors from spaces where people sleep should not have a direct #entrance to a garage.
