C403.2.9.5 Air Distribution System Sizing and Design

2017 FBC - Energy Conservation, 6th edition > 4 [CE] Commercial Energy Efficiency > C403 Building Mechanical Systems > C403.2 Provisions Applicable to All Mechanical Systems (Mandatory) > C403.2.9 Duct and Plenum Insulation, Construction and Sealing (Mandatory) > C403.2.9.5 Air Distribution System Sizing and Design
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER

All air distribution systems shall be sized and designed in accordance with recognized engineering standards such as ACCA Manual D or other standards based on the following:

  1. Calculation of the supply air for each room shall be based on the greater of the heating load or sensible cooling load for that room.
  2. Duct size shall be determined by the supply air requirements of each room, the available static pressure and the total equivalent length of the various duct runs.
  3. Friction loss data shall correspond to the type of material used in duct construction.
