Outside Design Conditions

Project Location : Tanauan, Batangas

Philippines

For the purpose of design and sizing of air-conditioning equipment the

following outside design conditions will be adopted

Summer:
External : 38˚C dry bulb
29.5˚C wet bulb
Rainy:
External : 23˚C dry bulb

No space heating system is considered necessary

The air conditioning equipment capacity will be sized so that indoor dry bulb air
temperature can be controlled to 22 ±2˚C

Notes:
(1) The tolerance levels shown indicate the range of temperatures due to
controls system operation.
(2) No control of relative humidity levels will be included. The relative humidity
levels shown indicate the values adopted for the purpose of design and
selection of the cooling coils design conditions.
(3) With spot cooling for kitchen areas.
(4) Pressurization during fire mode (for enclose fire stairs) only
(5) Pressurization under the mode for the lift lobby

 3.3. External Façade

Glazing U – Value (W/m2 K) 2.5 W/m2K

Glazing Shading Coefficient 0.4
U-Value for non-vision area 0.741 W/m2K
U-value for roof 0.57W/m2K

4. ACMV SYSTEM

4.1 Air-
Air-Conditioning System

The most applicable type of Aircon system is Multi-Split Air Conditioning System /
Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) / Variable Refrigerant Volume (VRV) OUTDOOR
UNITS with matching indoor Fan Coil Units (FCU’s) to serve the common area’s &
most of the entire rooms. See the attached sketches for reference.

As the FCU is controlled by a single thermostat controller, individual room control

of temperature will provide.

The cooling load will be calculated during the Detailed Design Phase when all the
design criteria/parameters are established and details on the external façade and
roof construction are firmed up.

4.2 Mechanical Ventilation Systems

Mechanical ventilation system comprising fans, ductwork, supply/exhaust

grilles/louvers, etc. will be provided to serve all rooms that required mechanical
Ventilation.

Hallway is naturally ventilated only circulating fan is provided on the corner

hallways.

4.3 Comfort Room (Toilet) Exhaust for Equipment

All toilets will be provided with individual mechanical exhaust system per room.
The exhausted air will be make-up by outside air migrating from the door louver
or open windows
