FOREWORD
Health care facilities often have a mixture of spaces within the scope of both Standard 170 and Standard 62.1. Section 6.2.4.1.3 created a conflict with ASHRAE/ASHE Standard 170, as it required the application of diversity and ventilation efficiency to health care. In addition, there was no clear direction in Standards 62.1 and 170 on how to calculate the total outdoor air at the system levels for systems serving both Standards 170 and 62.1 spaces. A working group of members from both SSPC170 and SSPC62.1 investigated the use of four (4) possible calculation methods and selected the most appropriate method, which was tested on 14 actual health care projects. The method was published as Addendum f to Standard 170-2021, Ventilation of Health Care Facilities. Addendum m allows this new method under Standard 62.1.
Note: In this addendum, changes to the current standard are indicated in the text by underlining (for additions) and (for deletions) unless the instructions specifically mention some other means of indicating the changes.
