Whirlpool and Shower Exhaust

Whirlpool and Shower Exhaust

Whirlpool and Shower Exhaust

(OP)
I just recieved a project for an athletic club locker room.  The restroom area of the locker room has a whirlpool and eight (8) showers.  Does anyone know of any standards in which to design the exhaust system for this area?  I would like to exhaust the steam (from the showers and whirlpool) but I am not quite sure how to determine the rate of exhaust.  Thanks for your comments.

RE: Whirlpool and Shower Exhaust

For a good starting place have you reviewed the mechanical and building code for your area?  Also, take a look in the ASHRAE’s application and systems books.

RE: Whirlpool and Shower Exhaust

A typical value is 75cfm/shower.  As stated above you will want to consult the governing code.
