Potential for Natural Ventilation and Operable Windows Ensure familiarity with and adherence to, all state and local building codes and standards.
The national consensus standard for outside air ventilation is ASHRAE Standard 62.1-2010, Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality and its published Addenda. Designing for Efficient Operations and Maintenance.Location of Outdoor Air Intakes and Exhaust.Potential for Natural Ventilation and Operable Windows.The following actions detail how engineers can design a quality system that is cost-competitive with traditional ventilation designs, while successfully providing an appropriate quantity and quality of outdoor air, lower energy costs and easier maintenance. The choice and design of the HVAC system can also affect many other high performance goals, including water consumption (water cooled air conditioning equipment) and acoustics. HVAC systems are among the largest energy consumers in schools. The main purposes of a Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) system are to help maintain good indoor air quality through adequate ventilation with filtration and provide thermal comfort.
