<p class=MsoNormal>I am working on an existing building, trying to show
compliance with ASHRAE 62.1. The supply and return diffusers are in the
ceiling and that forces dividing by a 0.8 factor that increases the outside
air requirement by 25%. The building was designed in the late sixties to CA
T-24. It appears to have about 20% outside air. This seems pretty good, at
first look, but it doesn't seem to satisfy 62.1. Any and all advice will be
appreciated.<br>
