Ventilation Rates For Doctor Offices
Ventilation Rates For Doctor Offices
(OP)
I'm working on the hvac design for a new doctor's office. Does anybody know where to find minimum ventilation rates for exam rooms, treatment rooms, x-ray rooms, labs, etc? I don't think ASHRAE 62.1 covers this area.

Take the "V" out of HVAC and you are left with a HAC(k) job.

62.1 provided for baseline OA rates, but ASHRAE Applications, Ch. 7, provided total ACH and min. OA ACH for specific spaces. It also listed pressure relationships for the various room types.
Hope this helps.

This book was developed by AIA and the US Department of Health. Can't tell you if it applies to you project or not but its what's used around here. There are tables for minimum air changes of outdoor and supply air.
