This case study is provided as a project reference. Conditions, equipment layouts, controls, climate, and measured outcomes can differ between facilities, so the example should be used to identify questions for a site survey rather than as a guaranteed result. Ask the RTFANS team to review the building geometry, operating schedule, existing HVAC or exhaust, electrical supply, and maintenance plan before selecting a comparable configuration.

When comparing the reference with a new facility, record the occupied floor area, clear height, roof and wall construction, machinery or storage layout, door activity, heat sources, humidity conditions, and the locations where people need improved comfort. Confirm whether the project needs general mixing, fresh-air replacement, source capture, spot cooling, or a combination. Electrical capacity, mounting structure, controls, water, drainage, cleaning, and access for maintenance also affect the final design. A site-specific review converts the lessons from this reference into a configuration that can be checked against local code, safety, and operating requirements.
