Questions and Answers

1) The spec calls out a drop ceiling to accommodate the HVAC duct work. This can done without having a drop ceiling which is costly. Can you please clarify if a drop ceiling is required?

We do not believe that the drop ceiling is required as long as the facility can be cooled. Most trailers vent from under the trailer to distribute HVAC. Thus, the dropped ceiling is not a requirement.
