Interpretation IC 170-2013-8 of ANSI/ASHRAE/ASHE Standard 170-2013 Ventilation of Health Care Facilities Date Approved: January 26, 2016 Request from: Mark Tome, CESI, 2209 Chestnut Road, York, PA 17408. Reference: This request for interpretation refers

2、to the requirements in ANSI/ASHRAE/ASHE Standard 170-2013, Section 7.4.1, regarding the location of return and exhaust grilles in Class B and C operating rooms. Background: The last two paragraphs of Section 7.4.1 describe the placement of return/exhaust grilles as follows: “The room shall be provid

(203mm) above the floor. Exception: In addition to the required low return (or exhaust) air grilles, such grilles may be
