Description

AS 1668.2 – 2012 Edition – The use of ventilation and airconditioning in buildings, Part 2: Mechanical ventilation in buildings

AS 1668 Part 2 sets out design requirements for mechanical air-handling systems that ventilate buildings and car parks (see Note 1), and requirements for ventilation based on the need to control odours, particulates and specific gases (e.g. CO, NOx, CO2, VOCs).

AS 1668.2 does not include requirements—

(a) associated with comfort (e.g. temperature, humidity, air movement or noise);
(b) for the maintenance of ventilation and air-handling systems;
(c) for natural ventilation systems, apart from natural make-up or relief to mechanical systems (see Note 1);
(d) for the elimination of condensation;
(e) for the provision of ventilation to ensure the safe operation of gas appliances; and
(f) for safety aspects associated with fire and smoke.

NOTES:

1. Requirements for natural ventilation of buildings (including car parks) are covered by AS 1668.4 and the NCC.
2. Road tunnels and other non-building related applications are outside the scope of thisStandard.
3. Fire and smoke control aspects of air-handling systems are covered in AS/NZS 1668.1 andAS 1668.3.
4. Requirements for system design in respect of microbial controlare given in AS/NZS 3666.1.
5. Air-handling systems should be designed, constructed and installed so that their use does notgive rise to a noise or vibration nuisance. For guidance on noise and vibration control, seeAS 1055.1 and AS 2107.
6. Information on thermal comfort conditions is given in ISO 7730 and ASHRAE 55.
7. This Standard covers the designof ventilation systems for industrial processes.
8. Requirements for ventilation in relation to the safe operationof gas appliances are covered in AS NZS 5601.1.
