A classroom with a capacity of 225 people is isolated from the outdoors except for the incoming ventilation air. The cooling load is 123,000 Btu/hr (37 kW) with a sensible heat factor of 0.7. The minimum 15 cfm/person (7.5 L/s per person) is assumed adequate. (a) Compute the required amount of ventilation air (supply air) on the basis of the cooling load, assuming that the space dry bulb is 75 F (24 C) and 50 percent relative humidity and that the air is supplied at 90 percent relative humidity (RH). (b) What is the minimum air supply rate based on indoor air quality requirements? (c) Compare parts (a) and (b) and discuss the best course of action.
