Assuming average air velocity through doors to be 2m/s ( to allow door opening for
occupants evacuation )
in case if the enterances
A= 4.86 m2 area is less than the
The required area is less than doors and enterance areas required area , so, the fresh
air fans are required .
SO, Enterance area is sufficient as fresh air supply openings .
Fresh Air Fans:
Fresh Air Fans capacity shall be half of exhaust air capacity depending on the doors and
park ramp opening to deliver adequate fresh air amount for the other half of the floor area .
