We are working on a Project, in which most of the rooms are complying with the ASHRAE 62.1-2007 Natural Ventilation requirements, stated under the IEQ Prerequisite 1 – Minimum Indoor Air Quality Performance. And there are few rooms which are not qualifying as per the requirement. The Engineer is proposing Exhaust systems in the rooms which are not qualifying following the Natural Ventilation approach. This exhaust system will create a negative pressure in the Non-qualifying room, which will suck the air from the adjacent Qualifying rooms. The queries are as follows: 1. Will installation of the exhaust system help to comply as per the requirement? 2. Can the openings at the bottom of the door be provided to help us qualify the credit? 3. Is there any requirement of CFM for the exhaust systems to comply with the LEED requirement? Do we need to consider the exhaust CFM as per Section 6 of ASHRAE 62.1-2007? Thanks in advance!
