A14 -- Industrial Air Conditioning (I-P)
Industrial facilities such as manufacturing plants, laboratories, processing plants, and nuclear power plants are designed for processes and environmental conditions that include proper temperature, humidity, air motion, air quality, and cleanliness. Generated airborne contaminants must be collected and treated before being discharged from the building or recirculated. For worker efficiency, the building environment should be comfortable and healthful, and should minimize fatigue and facilitate communications. The HVAC systems should control temperature and humidity, have low noise levels, control health-threatening fumes, and provide spot cooling to prevent heat stress.
