The minimum supply air quantities for VAV systems shall not be less than the exhaust air requirements, if
any.
The supply air quantity for the corridors could be greater than four air changes per hour if this air is to be
used as make-up air for exhaust needs of the adjoining areas, such as Toilets, Janitor Closets, Soiled
Utilities Rooms, Locker Rooms, etc.
6.5.1.8 OUTSIDE AIR REQUIREMENT:
100% outside air shall be supplied to the following areas/departments:
//Surgery Suites (including supply, processing and distribution)//
//Laboratories//
For other areas where the outdoor air requirement is less than 100% of the supply air, the minimum
outside air shall be as per latest ASHRAE Standard 62, but not less than 15% of the supply air.
When an all air system is used, the outdoor air is mixed with the return air at the unit, and since the
distribution of the supply air is done on the basis of the cooling load requirements, the spaces with greater
cooling requirements will, receive more outdoor air. It is, therefore, very important that the outdoor air is
evenly distributed to all the spaces and remain constant under all operating conditions.
6.5.1.9 MINIMUM EXHAUST AIR REQUIREMENTS:
Editing Note: edit to delete areas/spaces not in
program.
Minimum exhaust air quantities, along with room pressure, for various areas are listed in the Table below.
Exhaust air for some areas is based on air changes/hour.
