MECHANICAL SYSTEMS
1. HVAC System Description
A 17 ton cooling capacity HVAC system for ground floor and 13 ton HVAC system for fourth floor will be required to serve the pharmacy areas to be renovated for B-500 IV Cleanroom Compliance with USP-800 project. The total capacity is based on the VA selected pharmacy layout option and the room air change requirements identified in VA HVAC Design Manual and as required for USP-800 Compliance.
2. Air Handling Systems
The existing building is served by two existing central station variable air volume (VAV) air handling units to serve the facility. This project will provide a new air handling unit to serve the ground floor clean and hazardous compounding rooms, the ante room, and an IV storage room. The unit will be located in the ground floor interstitial space. The fourth floor pharmacy area will be served with a new air handling unit located on the roof to serve the clean and hazardous compounding rooms, the ante room, and hazardous storage areas. The air handling units will have two parallel supply fans, a preheat coil, a cooling coil, electric steam humidifier, 30% pre-filter #1 and 65% pre-filter #2. The supply fans are controlled by redundant VFD’s to maintain required airflows. One VFD will be used to control both the supply fans. A backup VFD with an automatic switchover option will be provided for each air handling unit. The air handling unit shall be provided with supply fan CFM monitoring. Air handling units will be provided with internal vibration isolation and access to each component section to provide for easy maintenance. Final HEPA filters at the air handling units are not being provided per VA’s direction. Instead, ceiling mounted fan filter units with room side removeable HEPA filter units will be provided.
3. Smoke Control Systems
The air handling units with supply airflow rate of more than 2,000 CFM will be equipped with a duct mounted smoke detector to provide automatic shutdown. Smoke detectors will be connected to the existing fire alarm system.
4. Zoning
Pharmacy areas will be provided with airflow control valves to provide constant supply and exhaust airflows.
Each zone will be provided with a temperature and room pressure sensor. Zone heating is provided by heating hot water reheat coils for each zone. Static pressure sensors in the ductwork shall modulate the supply fan motor VFD accordingly to maintain airflow by maintaining a constant static pressure set point.
Room humidity sensors will be provided in the Sterile IV Compounding rooms to monitor the space humidity.
Ceiling mounted fan filter units with room-side removable HEPA filter will be provided in the pharmacy areas.
5. Control Zones
© 2019 SC Engineers, Inc. Page 13
HVAC temperature control zones are arranged to separately control the space temperature based on RFP requirements, thermal design requirements, and building occupancy. Separate zone temperature control is provided for buffer rooms, ante room and drug storage room.
The air handler systems are sized to allow up to 25% additional load in the served area to meet unforeseen conditions.
6. Exhaust Systems
Pharmacy clean room areas will be exhausted to meet the requirements of USP 800 and VA HVAC Design Manual for air change rates per hour. Exhaust will be provided through a dedicated centrifugal exhaust fan rated for hazardous and contaminated laboratory exhaust air. Separate exhaust fan will be designed for the hazardous compounding room air. Hoods for hazardous materials will include integral HEPA filtration with “bag-out” capability for filter exchange. Separate filters at the exhaust discharge are not provided.
The exhaust air from ground floor Sterile IV Compounding Room, Ante Room and IV Storage room will be ducted through one exhaust air duct and will be routed to the new exhaust fan located on the 6th floor roof.
The exhaust air from ground floor Hazardous Compounding room will be ducted to a new exhaust fan located on the roof. The exhaust air from the hazardous drug hood will be ducted separately to a new exhaust fan on the roof. There will be total three new exhaust fans serving the renovated ground floor pharmacy area. The exhaust air ducts, approximately 20”, 14” and 10” Ø, from ground floor pharmacy to the roof will be routed on the exterior side of the building.
The existing exhaust air duct inside shaft at gridline L/11 from ground floor interstitial to the roof will be abandoned in place. The existing exhaust duct is made up of galvanized sheet metal and cannot be reused as the VA guidelines requires use of 316-L stainless steel, welded ductwork for the laboratory fume hood exhaust system.
The exhaust air from fourth floor pharmacy area will be ducted through the exhaust air shaft to two new exhaust fans located on the roof. One exhaust will be provided for hazardous drug hoods and one for the exhaust air coming from Sterile IV Compounding Room, Hazardous IV Compounding Room, Ante Room, and Hazardous Storage Room.
The exhaust fan air flow will be based on the hood selections approved by the VA. Per VA Pharmacy staff’s directions, glove box type hoods are provided instead of standard laminar type hoods. All work involving hazardous or contaminated materials will be conducted in the hoods provided with internal exhaust HEPA filters.
7. Chilled Water System
The existing central chiller plant will be used as the source of chilled water for the new air handling units.
Approximately 42 GPM of chilled water flow will be required to the ground floor and fourth floor air handling units.
8. Heating Hot Water System
© 2019 SC Engineers, Inc. Page 14
The existing central heating hot water plant will be used as the source of heating hot water for the new air handling units and reheat coils. Approximately 22 GPM of heating hot water flow will be required to the ground floor and fourth floor air handling units and reheat coils.
9. Humidifier
The air handling units will be equipped with an electric steam humidifier. The existing domestic water lines will be connected to the humidifier. Reduced pressure backflow preventers are provided for each humidifier service.
10. Force Protection
Outside air, relief, and exhaust air openings provided under this project will be located on the roof. No force protection is anticipated.
Fragile utilities shall be located away from exterior walls. Note that fragile utilities are not applicable to this project.
Overhead mounted features in excess of 31 pounds shall be braced to withstand 0.5 times the component weight in any direction and 1.5 times the component weight in the downward direction.
11. Maintenance
All systems will utilize standard HVAC components and will be selected for ease of maintenance and arranged with adequate access for periodic maintenance.
12. Direct Digital Control System
The control system will monitor and control all HVAC systems and will be compatible with the existing Siemens Apogee control system in the Building 500.
13. Ductwork
Main ductwork shall be sized at a maximum of 1200 FPM. Branch ductwork shall be sized at 0.08” WC per 100’ friction loss. Ducts may be sized on the more stringent of the requirements of velocity, friction loss, or sound constraints.
14. Piping
Piping shall be sized at a maximum of 4’/100’ pressure drop or 6 FPS.
15. Test and Balance
The HVAC systems will be Tested and Balanced in full compliance with the RFP and AABE/NEBB requirements. Room pressurization will be checked for USP 800 compliance and monitored by local room pressure monitoring and alarm panel. Room airflows will be balanced for constant airflow.
© 2019 SC Engineers, Inc. Page 15
16. Commissioning
Mechanical systems will be commissioned in compliance with ASHRAE and AABC/NEBB Standards to assure proper system operation and compliance with USP 800 requirements. This will help optimize building performance ensuring indoor air quality and workspace comfort.
