407.5 Variable Air Volume
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER
Variable
air volume systems subjecting the patient to a fluctuating
air movement are not acceptable for airborne infection
isolation rooms, protective environment rooms or those
critically sensitive areas listed in Section 322.0. For nonsensitive
areas, variable air volume systems meeting the
following criteria can be considered:
The VAV system shall comply with code
requirements for outside air, total air, and pressure
relationship through the full range of operation from
minimum to maximum.
The central return or exhaust fan shall be
controlled to accomplish the variable air volume
requirements of the individual rooms served by the
fan as described in Section 407.5.1.3.
