Max. Air Change Rates for Animal Hospital!!!
Max. Air Change Rates for Animal Hospital!!!
(OP)
Guys,
I have some Misc. rooms in an animal hospital that were questioned by my boss if we need the amount of air changes/hr that the GC requested. Currently we have an animal ward room that was requested to have 8.5 ac/hr......x-ray & surgery rms @ 7.1 ac/hr...etc.
Does the International Mech. Code or Energy Code cover max. allowable air changes for specified rooms??
I've looked, but can't seem to find anything.
Can anyone help??

Also, some criteria is in ASHRAE's Applications Handbook.

Your input was a big help..one other question pops up to me now though. Is the recommended Air Change rate based on the total space load, or is it just based on ventilation?

A Mfr wants to sell me a portable recirculating unit with a 95% efficient filter instead of the specified exhaust arm tied to an exhaust fan. Does anyone have specifics on whether or not the air can be recirculated?
