SFO NO. V101-183R-xxx-xxx-xx
[INSERT LOCATION OF FACILITY]
Environmental Unit: Provide a dedicated air-handling unit to serve the CT Suite. The capacity of the air-
handling unit shall be based on the actual internal heat gain (equipment load, occupancy, and light load)
and indoor design conditions per the CT unit manufacturer. Coordinate the lead lining, if needed for the
HVAC ductwork, with the architect and the equipment manufacturer. The air-handling unit should shut
down during unoccupied hours.
Computer Unit: An air-handling unit shall be provided for the cooling of CT Scanner and the associated
computer room. The unit capacity and specific requirements shall be established in consultation with the
equipment manufacturer.
Air-cooled chiller: Provide an air-cooled chiller for the environment and computer units. Also, connect
these two units with central chilled water system as a back up.//
Editing Note: Provide estimate of heat load from VA
furnished equipment.
6.5.7.4 //COMPUTER ROOMS // // RESERVED//:
//The HVAC system shall be a free standing, factory-packaged, A/C unit specially designed for computer
rooms. The capacity of the unit shall be based on the projected heat gain (equipment load, occupancy,
and light load) and specified indoor design conditions. Base computer room air conditioning load on room
requirements and actual values of ADP equipment to be installed. Where possible, install UPS equipment
in a separate room adjacent to the computer room. Install a separate air conditioning unit in the UPS
room. Base air conditioning requirements for power conditioning unit or UPS equipment on total
equipment heat loss values.
[Insert projected equipment loads].
HVAC equipment serving computer rooms shall be on emergency power.
Provide a minimum of one "back-up" air conditioning unit in the computer room. All units should be of
equal capacity.
Use underfloor space as an air distribution plenum. Provide 18 inches clear space for new buildings and a
minimum of 12 inches clear space for existing buildings. Coordinate this requirement with the architect.
Provide a water detection system with an alarm device to detect moisture in the plenum below the raised
deck.
Provide the following features in the design of HVAC system:
Automatic controls with alarm warning when 65 percent maximum relative humidity under the floor is
reached.
Built-in redundancy by use of multiple refrigeration circuits or multiple air-handling units
Downflow to feed underfloor air distribution system
Noise level NC 35//
6.5.7.5 LABORATORIES:
//Orthotic Laboratories
Coordinate ventilation requirements with the equipment layout shown on the conceptual drawings. The
number and type of exhaust systems will depend upon the size and function of the equipment used in the
laboratory. The following systems are to be provided:
