Design Notes

ACH values shown are for preliminary estimation and should be confirmed against the project's applicable design criteria.
Normal ventilation requirements depend on the parking layout, vehicle activity, pollutant control strategy and applicable standards.
Fire-mode smoke extraction is a separate design condition and must follow the project's approved fire and smoke-control strategy.
Final fan capacity, static pressure, jet-fan thrust, sensor locations and airflow distribution require detailed engineering.
This calculator is intended for preliminary engineering/reference purposes only.
