What are the code requirements for clothes dryer ventilation that runs the entire length of high rise condominium (vents to the roof). The building was built in 1995, is 26 floors high and has a vent for each "condo line". I'm specifically looking for the required size of the vent and if it must be constructed with a double wall and insullation.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Thanks so much for your help. We had a unit owner alter the size of the soffit without pulling a permit. when we questioned the owners they said they would "put it back like it was" but I think we need to require that the work be inspected to ensure that it is done correctly - even if it means that they (or their GC will have to pay a fine).
