Ventilation System Design for Multi-Family Buildings
Design Objectives 1. Maintain Healthy Indoor Environments
• Provide Fresh Air – Dilute Air Contaminants • Control Humidity in Ventilation Air and Building
2. Minimize Building Energy Consumption 3. Minimize Cost of System and Cost of
Ownership The Best Strategies Vary Based on Factors Such as
Building Height and Unit Size.

Governing Codes
ASHRAE 62.1 • Applies to Multi-Family 4 Stories and Greater • Does Allow Natural Ventilation ASHRAE 62.2 • Applies to Single Family and Multi-Family Up to 3
Stories • Does Not Allow Natural Ventilation in Most Climates GOOD PRACTICE: Don’t Rely on Natural Ventilation!

Centralized vs. Unit Level Ventilation
Unit Level Ventilation • Less Maintenance for Building Owner • Can Be Cheaper • Can Help to Avoid Stack Effect Issues Centralized Ventilation • Multi-Family Economy-of-Scale Allows for
Better Heat Recovery / Dehumidification Equipment
• Can Provide Better Energy Performance and Building Humidity Control
• Increased First Cost

Integrated vs. Dedicated Ventilation
Integrated Ventilation • Ventilation System Integrated with Unit HVAC • Requires System Fan to Operate to Ventilate • Dehumidification is Done by HVAC Unit
![Page 6: Galen Staengl - High Performance Ventilation for Multifamily Buildings](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052622/5597e67f1a28aba44c8b460c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Integrated vs. Dedicated Ventilation
Dedicated Ventilation • Independent System for Ventilation • Does Not Depend on Unit HVAC • Dehumidification Can be Done at the Outdoor Unit

Benefits of Energy Recovery Ventilation
• Reduces Heating and Cooling Loads by 15-30%
• Reduces Heating Energy by 20 – 35%
• Helps to Control Building Humidity

The Crossings at 4th and Preston • Low Income Housing • 60 Unit Single Room Occupancy • 3 Stories + Basement • Mixed Use: R-2, B & A-2 • Earthcraft Award
• Best Multi-Family 2012
![Page 10: Galen Staengl - High Performance Ventilation for Multifamily Buildings](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052622/5597e67f1a28aba44c8b460c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The Crossings at 4th and Preston Challenges / Opportunities
1. Small Unit Size • Right Sizing Equipment • Encourages Centralized System
2. Developer Owned • Allows Recoup of Up Front
Investment 3. Low Income Population
• Smoking in Units • Occupied Much of The Time

The Crossings at 4th and Preston Ventilation Strategy
Building: • Dedicated Outside Air Unit • Pressurized Corridors / Building Units: • Intermittent Exhaust Driven
![Page 12: Galen Staengl - High Performance Ventilation for Multifamily Buildings](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052622/5597e67f1a28aba44c8b460c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The Crossings at 4th and Preston Ventilation Strategy
Pros: • DOA Unit Controls Building Humidity • Reduced Ductwork Cost • Fresh, Neutral Air Available on Demand Cons: • No Energy Recovery • Good IAQ Relies on Occupant Behavior • Corridor Pressurization Does Not Effectively Prevent Cigarette Smoke Migration
