How might the DCV system interact with architectural design?
The design of any ventilation system should be integrated with the architectural and customer needs. It is important to be aware of conditions that may disrupt proper sensor operation. For example, flooring that is commonly buffed with propane-powered floor buffers can create temporarily high levels of CO2. Actions needed: 1. Establish a list of the different operating conditions (seasonal business cycles, occupancy cycles, and transition periods). 2. Obtain from the customer the business-related ventilation needs (non-people-based pollutants: raw material odors, fugitive process gases, water vapor, or particulate). 3. Meet with the customer and HVAC designer to compare ventilation design to expected operating conditions. 4. Identify the responsible party for each of the system’s implementation and maintenance phases. How will the customers have to interact with the DCV system? The customer should not have to interact with the system unless they are the owner/operator. The maintenance
