ANSI BHMA A156 38 FAQ

Not yet. Nomic lists ANSI BHMA A156 38 as coming soon. Nomic agents already check drawings against 27 supported mechanical code standards, including ASHRAE 34 and ASHRAE 15. ANSI BHMA A156 38 is adopted by 53 jurisdictions in Nomic's code data.

Nomic lists the 2019 edition of ANSI BHMA A156 38 as coming soon.

On a typical drawing set, reviewers check ventilation and outdoor air rates for each space; equipment clearances, access, and condensate disposal; duct construction, fire and smoke dampers at rated assemblies; refrigerant type, quantity, and machinery room requirements; exhaust terminations and separation from intakes.

Include the mechanical floor plans and roof plan; equipment schedules; ventilation calculations; mechanical details and damper locations. The more of the set the review can see, the more cross-sheet conflicts it can catch.

No. Nomic agents work alongside architects, engineers, and code consultants by flagging likely issues with the code section cited, so the reviewer can confirm or dismiss each finding with less manual work. The licensed professional still owns the code interpretation, and the authority having jurisdiction still performs official plan review.
