a. Determine if the rating per cubic metre of the space is greater than 0.4 MJ/hr per m³.
Example:
Unit rating (Ur) = 120MJ/hr
Room volume (Rv) = 1m x 1m x 2.4m = 2.4m
3
Ur/Rv = 120/2.4 = 50 MJ/hr per m
3
As the result is greater than 0.4 MJ/hr per cubic metre of the space, additional ventilation is required.
Refer to AS/NZS 5601 for natural ventilation requirements.
For New Zealand ventilation requirements and all other applications, e.g. Mechanical Ventilation,
