the project uses ventilator fans it is considered a mechanically ventilated

that unless the mechanically ventilated warehouse has no human occupancy except
for maintenance and repairs it must meet the requirements of ASHRAE Standard
62.1-2004. The narrative states that the warehouse will be occupied for the
loading and unloading of goods; therefore, the warehouse is regularly occupied.

concerned with people, who need ventilation (supply / intake). For typical
buildings, you may not need separate exhaust fans, because that amount can
probably exfiltrate through cracks. Supply and exhaust fans can be used in
tandem if the building is fairly tight (no leaks).<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

5-8 air changes per hour is for cooling, not ventilation. Any
building with which has that much infiltration is closer to a tent than a
building! (It’s not closed up.)<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

the warehouse storage, MEP team recommends 5-8 Air Changes per Hour by thumb
rule for exhaust and air intake is assumed by infiltration by windows, open
doors etc.. But this number I haven’t find in ASHRAE, please give me
reference.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

62.1-2004, Table 6-1 for warehouse category says to have 0.06

exhaust, it is too small as volume of warehouse will be
high.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
