Answer 6: Sheet note referenced only applies to the terminal units serving the room the note is in; this does not include the units listed. The 5 units listed above to remain as is.
RFI 7: Note 1 relating to the Air Handling Unit Schedule is unclear. Please verify if the MERV 14 filters fit in the existing unit. Also, verify if the corresponding static pressure drop will meet system requirements with MERV 14 filters. If AHU-16 is verified not to be 100% OSA, what specific actions are we to take?
Answer 7: AHU 16 indicate MERV 14 filters are in use and the AHU is a single pass system (100% outside air).
