We received a LEED review comment regarding Warehouse ventilation to comply
with ASHRAE 62.1-2004.

 

Generally depending on 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.

 

ASHRAE 62.1-2004, Table 6-1 for warehouse category says to have 0.06
cfm/ft2, is this number defines to intake or Exhaust? If it is exhaust, it
is too small as volume of warehouse will be high.

 

Please share your ideas to comply with the requirements.

 

Thanks & Regards,

Ashraf
