The document discusses the design of ventilation, air conditioning, and other building systems. It outlines the purpose of ventilation systems to provide occupant comfort while saving energy. Important factors to consider for ventilation design include the local climate, building air tightness, and pressure balances. When selecting an air conditioning system, factors like room size, windows, occupants, and heat sources must be evaluated. Fire protection requirements include posting the fire safety plan at entrances and distributing copies to tenants.

2. Ventilation System
The consequences of
unintentional ventilation are:
Wasted energy (and money) used in
mechanical heating or cooling
A general decrease in occupant comfort
and or safety

3. Purpose of ventilation system
o Understand the role of energy efficiency in ventilating
activities
o Plan for ventilation system distribution and coverage
o Keep occupant comfort, well-being, and activities in mind
o Understand climate and ventilation-related interactions
o Identify potential sources of indoor pollutants
o Be aware of air pollutants from the local environment
o Understand the role of building construction in air
tightness and building integrity
o Design ventilation strategies for different building types
o Understand the role of energy efficiency in ventilating
activities.

5. Ventilation-Related Issues
Some important issues to think about when
designing a ventilation strategy
include the following:
• Local climate
• Local energy prices
•Building air tightness, interstitial spaces, and
vertical and horizontal connections
• Pressure balances between zones
•Ventilation system distribution and coverage

6. Air conditioning selection
The floor area of the room
The size and position of windows, and
whether they have blinds or shades
The number of room occupants (if any)
The heat generated by equipment
The heat generated by lighting

9. Fire protection
• post the fire safety plan on the inside of apartment front door.
• post the fire safety plan in a conspicuous space in the common
area.
• distribute a copy to each dwelling unit in the building.
• provide a copy to new tenants at the time of the lease.
• re-distribute the fire safety plan annually during fire
prevention week.
