[Equest-users] Auto Garage Ventilation Rate

[Nick Caton]

Hello Ahmed,

 

It's unclear whether your baseline/reference building is intended to
follow the guidelines of 90.1 or some other modeling standard by your
Ministry... ASHRAE 90.1 in any case tells us proposed and baseline
buildings must have the same minimum ventilation rates (G3.1.2.5) - so
under that guidance, I would set the same CFM/ft2 for each model.

Subject: [Equest-users] Auto Garage Ventilation Rate

 

Hello Equesters,

 

In a case where we have an Auto Repair garage where the minimum
ventilation rates set by local code (i.e. Ministry of Labour) is greater
than what the reference building would use, is it adequate to modify the
reference building ventilation rate to match that of the proposed. 

 

In my case the ventilation rate in this Auto Repair garage is 2cfm/ft2
and for the reference it would be 0.7cfm/ft2.

 

I appreciate any help.
