Sources of Guidance for Control Design
The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA)
ANSI/AIHA Z9.2-2007—Fundamentals Governing the Design and Operation of Local Exhaust Systems. This standard establishes minimum requirements for the commissioning, design, specification, construction, and installation of fixed industrial LEV systems used for the reduction and prevention of employee exposure to air contaminants [ANSI/AIHA 2007].
ANSI/AIHA Z9.5-2003—Laboratory Ventilation. This expanded standard, first published in 1992, includes new chapters on performance tests, air cleaning, preventive maintenance, and work practices, as well as five appendices, such as “Selecting Laboratory Stack Designs,” and an audit form [ANSI/AIHA 2003].
ANSI/AIHA Z9.7-2007—Recirculation of Air from Industrial Process Exhaust Systems. This standard established minimum criteria for the design and operation of a recirculating industrial process exhaust ventilation system [ANSI/AIHA 2007].
ANSI/AIHA Z9.9-2010—Portable Ventilation Systems. This standard discusses portable ventilation equipment and systems used for the reduction, control, or prevention of exposure to hazardous atmospheres or airborne substances, and for comfort to employees [ANSI/ AIHA 2010].
BSR/AIHA Z9.13—Design, Operation, Testing, and Maintenance of Laminar Flow Fume Hoods. This standard applies to laminar flow fume hoods (LFFH) that use filtered supply air and ducted exhaust to protect products inside the hood from external contamination and exhaust hazardous effluents from the building. This standard provides guidelines for design, operation, testing, and maintenance of laminar flow fume hoods [BSR/AIHA 2010].
The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE)
2009 ASHRAE Handbook—Fundamentals. This handbook covers basic principles and data used in the HVAC industry. The ASHRAE technical committees that prepare these chapters strive to provide new information, clarify existing information, delete obsolete materials, and reorganize chapters to make the Handbook more understandable and easier to use [ASHRAE 2005].
2007 ASHRAE Handbook—HVAC Applications. This handbook covers a broad range of facilities and topics and is written to help engineers design and use equipment and systems described in other Handbook volumes [ASHRAE 2007].
