BSR/ASHRAE Addendum h to ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 62.1-2010, Ventilation and Acceptable Indoor Air Quality
Second Public Review Draft
(This foreword is not part of this standard. It is merely informative and does not contain requirements
necessary for conformance to the standard. It has not been processed according to the ANSI requirements
for a standard and may contain material that has not been subject to public review or a consensus process.
Unresolved objectors on informative material are not offered the right to appeal at ASHRAE or ANSI.)
FOREWORD
Standard 62.1-2010, Table 6-1, includes ventilation rates for “Sports arena (play area)” and “Gym, stadium
(play area).” Both space types have ventilation rates based on floor area only, the per person rate is zero. Users
of the standard have expressed interest in applying demand controlled ventilation to these space types, which is
effectively prohibited by the lack of a per person component to the ventilation rate. This proposed addendum
replaces both of these space types with “Gym, Sports Arena (play area)”, with Rp = 20 cfm/person and Ra = 0.18
cfm/ft².
The second public review version of the addendum assigns this new space type with an air class of 2 rather than
class 1 from the first publication public review version, and increased Ra from 0.06 cfm/ft² to 0.18 cfm/ft².
One concern about allowing CO2-based demand controlled ventilation in these spaces is that the volume per
person in these spaces is typically large, which means that CO2 concentration changes will have longer than
usual lag times behind occupancy changes.
[Note to Reviewers: This addendum makes proposed changes to the current standard. These changes are
indicated in the text by underlining (for additions) and strikethrough (for deletions) except where the reviewer
instructions specifically describe some other means of showing the changes. Only these changes to the current
standard are open for review and comment at this time. Additional material is provided for context only and is
not open for comment except as it relates to the proposed changes.]
