Maximum Plenum Space Height
Maximum Plenum Space Height
(OP)
Hey Guys,
Is there a code for the maximum plenum height for a plenum return?
My celing height is 9'-0" and my building height is 18'-0". I'm afraid that on a really warm day it will take alot of coil to cool the office space down.
The location is Massachusetts

In my opinion return plenums are like a giant overhead dust accumulation system. I would much rather pay for a little return duct. At least you can clean the ducts if they get dirty.

Stratification may also cause your operating conditions to be higher than expected, especially if the return to the unit is just a hole in the roof.
