arrangement with physical dimensions for louvers,
dampers, access provisions, filters, coils, fans,
vibration isolators, etc.
B.

horsepower, motor size, etc.) for all air handling units,
fans and pumps for intended modes of operation.
Include fan and pump performance curves.

EQUIPMENT LOCATION AND INSTALLATION:
A.
GENERAL: Locate equipment to be accessible for
installation, operation and repair. Design the
mechanical spaces to be a suitable size to permit
inspection and access for maintenance, and to provide
space for future equipment when required.
Consider the effect that equipment noise or vibration
might have on areas adjacent to, above, and below
equipment. Location of equipment remote from sound
sensitive areas should be emphasized. Design to
specific room sound ratings.
B.
HVAC EQUIPMENT: House air handling units and
similar equipment in a mechanical equipment room.
Ensure close coordination with the architecture and
structural disciplines for issues, such as, aesthetics,
operating weight, shaft locations, etc.
C. Piping and ducts may be exposed in the following
buildings and spaces, unless finished ceilings are
present:
a. Pipe basements
b. Fan rooms
