<DIV>I am unsure as to what you mean trying to get an existing building, especially an older one, to comply with 62.1. It probably WON'T.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Also, the first CA Title-24 was 1977. So it probably flew to the CA Mechanical Code at the time (Uniform Building Code).</DIV>

<DIV class=plainMail>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><BR><BR>-- Robert P.
