5.5.A. Standard Air Intakes: Air intakes to heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems that are designed to move air throughout a building that are at ground level provide an opportunity for aggressors to easily place contaminants where they could be drawn into buildings. The following measures will be applied to minimize those opportunities. The requirements of this standard do not have to be applied when air intakes are located within an enclosed mechanical equipment yard or similar area with access control such as an enclosed courtyard. Controlled perimeters will not be considered to meet the requirement of access control for the purpose of this standard.

5.5.A.1 Existing Buildings: Add means such as exterior chimneys to extend the elevations of air intakes to at least 10 feet (3 meters) above the ground for all buildings that must comply with these standards.

5.5.A.2 HVAC Replacements and Upgrades. Where air handling equipment in heating, ventilating, and air conditioning systems is being replaced or when they are being upgraded, ensure that air intakes are either 10 feet (3 meters) above the ground or that means such as chimneys are added to extend the intakes to that height.

5.5.B Interior Walls and Doors in Equipment Rooms: Where air intakes that are designed to cool equipment may allow blast pressures to infiltrate equipment rooms, design equipment room interior walls and doors to the same standards for blast resistance as the exterior walls and doors of buildings based on the standoff distance provided and allowing for blast pressure reductions where they can be validated.

5.5.C Standard Emergency Air Distribution Shutoff: For all new and existing buildings required to comply with these standards, provide an emergency shutoff switch in the HVAC control system that can immediately shut down the air distribution and exhaust systems throughout the building and close all dampers leading to the outside except where interior pressure and airflow control would more efficiently prevent the spread of airborne contaminants and/or ensure the safety of egress pathways. Systems without duct connections to the outside (intake, exhaust or pressure relief) are exempt from that requirement. The switch must be capable of shutting down all required systems and closing all required dampers, even if the local hand/off/auto switch is in the hand position, within 30 seconds of switch activation . Locate the shutoff switch (or switches) to be easily accessible by building occupants by locating them similarly to mass notification system (MNS) local operating consoles (LOC) (see UFC 4-021-01 for additional information on MNS LOCS) so that the travel distance to the nearest shutoff switch will not be in excess of 200 feet (61 meters). Ensure that the shutoff switches are well labeled, and of a different color than fire alarm pull stations.

5.5.C.1 Outside Air Intakes, Relief Air, and Exhausts: Provide all outside air intakes, relief air, and exhaust openings with low leakage dampers that are automatically closed when the emergency air distribution shutoff switch is activated. The low leakage dampers will have maximum leakage rates of 3 cfm/square foot (15 liters/second/square meter) with a differential pressure of one inch of water gage (250 Pa) across the damper. If shutting down an exhaust system will violate building or fire codes or create an unsafe condition, then the exhaust system may continue to operate.

5.5.C.2 Critical Areas: Local air handing units serving critical areas where cooling and/or heating must be maintained to prevent mission failure, loss of data or unsafe conditions can continue to recirculate air, but outside air, relief air and exhaust must be closed with low leakage isolation dampers.

5.5.C.3 Fan Coil Unit Heaters and Air Conditioners: Fan coil unit heaters and air conditioners do not require low leakage dampers, but for all new buildings required to comply with these standards, they must have a system that allows all of them to be shut off in an emergency.
