[INSERT LOCATION OF FACILITY]
In the absence of any specified supply air change/hour, the exhaust air shall be calculated from the
following considerations, and the maximum value, thus, derived, shall be used:
Space Heat Gain
Equipment Exhaust Requirements
Applicable Codes
15 percent of the supply air
Individual toilets and HACs do not require ducted supply air. Use air transferred from the occupied spaces
via door grilles and/or undercuts, to exhaust these areas. Do not transfer more than 150 CFM of air per
door undercut.
Public toilets do require ducted supply air up to 8.5 air changes per hour maximum. The balance air should
be drawn from the corridors to maintain negative pressure and to ensure exhaust of 10 air changes per
hour.

Sound level of operating equipment, such as fans, chillers. Cooling towers, etc., must be considered in the
design of HVAC systems. Use sound attenuators, if required. No sound lining shall be provided in the
ductwork. Provide only factory fabricated sound attenuators for noise control.
Cooling Towers:
Select and locate cooling towers to avoid problems with aesthetics, noise, vibrations, air recirculation or
drift. The cooling tower must be placed in a location than cannot be directly viewed from the street or main
entrance, preferably near the loading dock. Consider provisions for security. The lessor shall provide a
noise analysis of the proposed cooling tower relative to adjacent occupancies. If the cooling tower fails to
meet the noise levels of 60 dba at 50 feet distance, the following options shall be evaluated:
