Boiler Experts,
I have been involved in discussions about whether there is a national code or rule that requires building-level boilers above a certain heating input to be constantly supervised by a qualified on-site person, capable of responding to an alarm condition in a responsbile manner...
Guys,
Have a customer that wants to erect an 80' x 60' x 20' pre-engineered metal building on an existing 100' x 100' monolithic concrete slab to control cost. Core samples suggest the slab was poured at 12" thick(?), with no reinforcement. Unclear what type of concrete mix was used.

Would humidity levels be a concern if the OA requirement is 10% of building supply air and the RTU is not oversized? (Assuming a constant OA requirement during occupancy and no reheat)
