2. Eq. temp diff for wall (∆T F) = 4 PM eq. temp value (ISHRAE handbook table 9 in P. No – 1.14) +
correction to eq. temp (Table 11P. No – 1.15)
3. Q wall(BTU/Hr) = U x A x ∆T 1
4.
Solar heat gain through glass (BTU/Hr Sft) = 4 PM value (ISHRAE handbook table 7 in P. No – 1.8
to 1.10)
5. QGlass(BTU/Hr) = (U x A x ∆T) + (SHG x A x SF) where (∆T = OA Temp – IA Temp)
6. Fresh air CFM can be derived with the sample sheet attached (ASHRAE Ventilation Standard
62_1_2004 Table 6.1)
7. Fresh Air CFM = (Volume x ACPH) / 60
8. Sensible Fresh air infiltration load = Fresh Air CFM x ∆T x 1.08 x Coil BF (ISHRAE handbook
table 14 in P. No – 1.16)
9.
Latent Fresh air infiltration load = Fresh Air CFM x ∆G x 0.68 x Coil BF (ISHRAE handbook table14 in P. No – 1.16)
10. Typical bypass factors - Three Row coil BF=0.176 (17.6 %), Four Row coil BF=0.12 (12 %), Six
Row coil BF=0.06 (6%)
11. Optimum velocity of air through coil is 450 fpm
12. HRW ηηηη = (OSA Temp – Temp after HRW) / (OSA Temp – Return Air Temp)
13. Sensible lighting load = W/sft x Area

6. Various types of camera were used for monitoring as per the requirement for 24 x 365. Namely
Fixed dome, Varifocal, PTZ(Pan Tilt Zoom) Camera.
7.
CCTV also can be linked with FPCP in modern system to know exactly how the fire or smokecondition.
Public addressable system
1. Also a security system runs all the floors and parking’s and used for announcements etc….
2. Systems consist of various models of speakers, amplifiers and micro phones.
3. System can be integrated with FACP and CCTV
4. Three type of speaker namely ceiling mounted, wall mounted, horn speaker can be used.
Access Control System
1. Smart card reader, Proximity card reader or Biometric card reader can be used. Biometric can be
retina or finger print reader
2. From card reader signal is sent to controller, which can be connected to software for monitoring
and for report generation using access control software.
3. Controllers to PC cat 5 cables are used. Controller to reader / push button 4c x 0.75 sq mm cable
is used
Building Management System
1. Field devices are connected to DDC (Digital Direct Controller), which has digital or analog input
and output. Analog input is for sensors and digital input is for switches.
2. DDC can be 16 or 32 bits. Various inputs are connected to it. It acts as a interface and converts
them into binary language which a system can understand.
3. This is then transferred to Router using RS 485 cable, which is then connected to PC using RS
232 cable.
This also provides facility for third party integration such as electrical, plumbing, DG, energy meter, ups, VFD etc .
SITE ACTIVITIES
1. Duct size as per dwg
2. Duct supports for every 8 to 10 feet
3. Duct to duct flange gap should be arrested properly

5. The position of the sun is generally given as azimuth and altitude angle
6.
Azimuth represents horizontal angle of the sun relative to the north.
7. Altitude represents the vertical angle the sun makes with the horizontal ground plane.

SHAFT SIZING
1. Pipe sizing can be done both using Chart and formula.
2.
Pipe dia (mm) = Sqrt (Gpm x 0.000011) x 2000 for 6 fps velocity3. Pipe dia can be calculated using ∆P = (4 x f x L x V2) / 2 x g x D, Where f is the friction
factor, L is the Equivalent Length, g is the acceleration due to gravity 9.8 m/s2 and V is the
velocity in m/s
4. Pipes going outside the building, Underground and diameter greater than 350mm should be
provided the insulation thickness of 3”. Others should be insulated by 2”.
5. For example, if the pipe dia is 14”, shaft size required will be 14”+6”(insulation on pipe
dia)=20” (supply) + 20” (return) + 18”(Space in between). So shaft length will
be(6”+20’+6”+20”+6”)=58”. (20”+6”+6” )= 32” will be the width of the shaftAHU SIZING
1. Select AHU Size for the given CFM & TR
2. Provide 1.5m space in piping side and 1m space in filter side. Minimum of 150mm in all
other sides.
3. CFM = Velocity x Area
4. Coil face velocity is limited to 500 FPM
VENTILATION AIR CHANGES
1.
Toilet, Electrical – 15ACPH
2. Basement – 6 ACPH (normal) 30 (Fire mode)
3.
Kitchen – 45 to 60 for big – 15 for small 15 ACPH is sufficient
4. Fresh air has to be supplied at 80% of exhaust air in order to maintain negative pressure
5.
For kitchen hood exhaust, CFM = Hood Area x 120 fpm. 80% of exhaust will be ducted as
a fresh air into the kitchen
