Insulation Thickness
3000 & Below
1 inch
3001 & Above
2 inch
The insulation shall have "R" value (same units 1/"U") of 5.0
//Existing Construction: The designer shall examine the existing building envelope and recommend the
ways and means to improve its thermal efficiency. It is recognized that retrofitting the existing walls with
new insulation is expensive; however, it should be evaluated if economically and technically feasible. The
existing single pane windows shall, however, be replaced by insulating double pane windows ("U" Factor
0.5 & Shading Coefficient 0.5) as a part of the major renovation effort involving heating, mechanical
cooling, and winter humidification.//
6.5.1.3 DESIGN FEATURES:
The following features shall be incorporated in the design.
Air conditioning systems shall be designed to operate below 48 degrees F outdoor temperature
without refrigeration, unless such refrigeration is used effectively as a heat pump with overall energy
savings.
Heat Recovery Devices: For all locations where the outdoor winter design temperatures are below 30
degrees F and the winter degree days are in excess of 3000, heat recovery devices, comprising of
either air to air plate heat exchangers or glycol run around loop heat recovery coils, shall be installed in
all 100 percent outdoor air systems with capacities in excess of 3000 CFM. The exhaust air systems,
from which the heat is to be extracted, shall also have capacity in excess of 3000 CFM per exhaust
fan, and shall be of continuously operating type. Controls for heat recovery system shall be designed
to avoid defeating any "free cooling" (economizer cycle) operation. Controls shall also be designed to
avoid overheating the outdoor air during mild or warm weather and prevent icing of the exhaust air coil
below 32 Degrees F ambient air temperatures. Do not provide heat recovery systems in the following
special exhausts:
All Fume Hood Exhaust
Isolation Room Exhaust
