What are the name plat capacity of the chillers compressors? what are the numbers, 2708333, 879167, 14423077, 152243549 and what are the units (dollars, KW/H, ..etc.)

What is the difference between two office's common corridor and two offices common return air plenum above suspending ceiling when the HVAC system is running

Joseph56.......................................................................... Engineering principals are the same in 79 and present, there is nothing called 3 sides or 4 sides natural ventilation, there is a flow rate should be ensured to a space by a natural or mechanical mean.

it is not about feeling or even engineering, it is about code and legal issue for the future, local code says minimum 50% of free area, it is clear, you have 50%, no problem, you have 49.99% you are against the local code, use code definition not your company or client definition. you can talk...

"This is not the way I'd like to do it", what would you like to do? you want to use static pressure, but it looks like you want to run MAU with capacity more then 10% of the exhaust capacity, otherwise there is no reason to try to avoid table B149 requirement.

Each MUA cannot be interlocked with more than one fan. In BC, MUA can be interlock with a fan that represents the 1/20 of total exhaust rate, I could not understand it clearly, can you give an example, Table B149.1 is not mentioned in Ontario Building Code I belief but need double check.

Is this a new project or existing project, if it is an existing project, did you have this problem recently?

Hello, I am looking for the outdoor air rate required for a brewery project, ASHRAE 62 refers to ACGIH, ACGIH says the outdoor air rate must be as ASHRAE, any supported advise and thanks in advance

Contact ASHRAE. ask them about such spread sheet, if they have it buy it, it is 58 dollar, I think the spread sheet city meant is about air leakage calculation and basement heat loss, not the entire calculation.

Lilliput1, I didn't understand the experience rules exactly, do you mean that 0.001 in wg will cause a 400 cfm to leak through the door, I mean if we have 1000 cfm supply then we need to return 600 cfm to the AHU and 400 through the door? and what does cfm2= 2122 mean in your example...

Hid, don't go to far, before you suggest anything, my post was about adding ventilation load to the space level or to the equipment level, for your information, HRAI, and CSA F280 add ventilation load to the space level. most existing houses do not have outdoor air ducts, recently they start to...

Thank you lilliput1, but the question is: where did mixing happen? does OA mix with room air in the room space or right before the furnace? the idea of the post is weather to include the OA load in space load or coil load?

Thank you trashcanman, it is helpful, my concern is if we consider the OA loas as a coil load or a zone load, my HAP software take it as a coil load, but another opinion is to consider it as a zone load, ans as you know the cfm depend on zone load, if we take OA as a coil load then why we take...

Hello, A house heating load as following (the numbers are only as example): - Winter outside/inside temperature design : 0F/70F - Supply air temperature: 120F - space load (envelop + infiltration): 60000 Btu/hr - OA ventilation requirement 100 cfm, (7560 Btu/hr) the question is about air flow...

dbill74, when we say 1600 cfm @.5", does 0.5 " here includes cooling coil, heat exchanger, filter, duct system, and grilles or just duct system and grilles. please note that 1600 cfm and 0.5" are just examples to explain my question. I am not asking in regard to a certain design, I am asking in...
