  8. 62.1-2007 Scope Con’t • 2.9 Acceptable IAQ may not be reached in all buildings meeting these requirements because of special conditions noted • Definition Acceptable Indoor Air Quality: air in which there are no known contaminants at harmful concentrations as determined by cognizant authorities and with which a substantial majority (80% or more) of the people exposed do not express dissatisfaction

Examples: • Loading dock 25 ft • Dumpster 15 ft • Surface below intake 1 ft • Cooling tower exhaust 25 ft • Must limit rain water penetration (using hood, proper velocity, etc.) or manage water that penetrates • Must use bird screens and prevent bird nesting

  14. General Requirements 5.0 Systems and Equipment • 5.7 Local Capture of Contaminants. • Discharge air from non-combustion equipment with exhaust vents must be exhausted to outdoors • 5.8 Combustion Air. Provide combustion air and exhaust air for indoor fuel-fired appliances • Products of combustion from vented appliances shall be vented directly outdoors.

  15. General Requirements 5.0 Systems and Equipment • 5.9 Particulate Matter Removal. Use a filter with a MERV 6 (or greater) upstream of dehumidifying coils and other wet-surface devices in supply stream

  16. General Requirements 5.0 Systems and Equipment • 5.10 Dehumidification Systems. • Must limit indoor RH to 65% or less at design dew point condition • Exception to RH limit: where occupancy requirements or processes dictate higher RH conditions. • Intake airflow must be greater than relief/exhaust during cooling (to minimize moist air infiltration)

  17. General Requirements5.10 Dehumidification Systems At 75F, 65% rh gives a 13F “safety margin” before condensation 65% RH limit 62°F DP

  18. General Requirements 5.0 Systems and Equipment • 5.11 Drain Pans. Assure drainage without flooding or carryover • Slope: 1/8” per foot toward outlet • Drain: At lowest point, large enough to prevent overflow • Drain seal: P-trap or other seal for negatively pressurized drain pans to prevent ingestion of air while allowing complete drainage (fan on or off) • Pan size: length at least 1/2 coil height or as necessary to limit carryover

  19. General Requirements 5.0 Systems and Equipment • 5.12 Finned Tube Coils and Heat Exchangers • Use drain pan • Select to limit coil pressure drop to 0.75 in.wc.@ 500 fpm face velocity • If higher pressure drop, provide access on both sides for maintenance
