(OP)
I've been looking for a guide on coring holes for mechanical ducts in precast double tee top flange, any recommendations on where to get that? I'm not finding anything on PCI website.

I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.

Yes, it will require the sheetmetal (actually, the flow calc's for the sheetmetal) to be analyzed instead of just picking out tubes from the book, but allow a row of 12" x 24" rectangular holes to be notched in the concrete at the joints between two adjacent flanged pre-cast members - 6 inch U-shaped notches in each of two paired beams. The sheetmetal - and, yes, I am insulting the sheetmetal ducts - is rebuilt to accommodate the plenum, plenum-to-rect, rectangular sections, and then the receiving plenums to allow the ducts to continue below the floor.
