4.2.4.2. Occupant Safety: Employ no processes or materials in such a manner that they will introduce additional hazards into occupied spaces.

4.2.5. Disposal of Debris: Dispose of all debris removed from the HVAC System in accordance with applicable federal, state and local requirements.

4.3. Mechanical Cleaning Methodology

4.3.1. Source Removal Cleaning Methods: Clean the HVAC system using Source Removal mechanical cleaning methods designed to extract contaminants from within the HVAC system and safely remove contaminants from the facility. Select Source Removal methods which will render the HVAC System Visibly Clean and capable of passing cleaning verification methods NADCA Standards and other specified standards and tests, in accordance with all general requirements. Use no cleaning method, or combination of methods, which could potentially damage components of the HVAC system or negatively alter the integrity of the system. Incorporate the use of vacuum collection devices that are operated continuously during cleaning for all methods used. Connect a vacuum device to the downstream end of the section being cleaned through a predetermined opening. Use a vacuum collection device of sufficient power to render all areas being cleaned under negative pressure, such that containment of debris and the protection of the indoor environment is assured. Equip all vacuum devices exhausting air inside the building, including hand-held vacuums and wet-vacuums, with HEPA filters (minimum efficiency).

Equip all vacuum devices exhausting air outside the facility with Particulate Collection including adequate filtration to contain Debris removed from the HVAC system, in a manner that will not allow contaminants to re-enter the facility. Release of debris outdoors which violates any outdoor environmental standards, codes or regulations is not allowed.

All methods require mechanical agitation devices to dislodge debris adhered to interior

HVAC system surfaces, such that debris may be safely conveyed to vacuum collection devices. Acceptable methods will include those which will not potentially damage the integrity of the ductwork, nor damage porous surface materials such as liners inside the ductwork or system components.

4.3.2. Methods of Cleaning Fibrous Glass Insulated Components: Thoroughly clean glass thermal or acoustical insulation elements present in any equipment or ductwork with HEPA vacuuming equipment, while the HVAC system is under constant negative pressure, and not permitted to get wet in accordance with applicable NADCA and NAIMA standards and recommendations. Do not use cleaning methods which cause damage to fibrous glass components or which will render the system capable of passing Cleaning Verification Tests

NADCA Standards).

4.3.3. Damaged Fibrous Glass Material: If there is any evidence of damage, deterioration, delamination, friable material, mold or fungus growth, or moisture such that fibrous glass materials cannot be restored by cleaning or resurfacing with an acceptable insulation repair coating, identify them for replacement. When requested or specified, be capable of remediating exposed damaged insulation in air handlers and/or ductwork requiring replacement.

4.3.4. Replacement Material: If replacement of fiber glass materials is required, conform all materials to applicable industry codes and standards, including those of UL and SMACNA

1966. Replacement of damaged insulation is not covered by this specification

4.3.5. Cleaning of Coils: Use any cleaning method which will render the Coil Visibly Clean and capable of passing Coil Cleaning Verification applicable NADCA Standards. Coil drain pans are subject to Non-Porous Surfaces Cleaning Verification. Maintain operability of the drain for the condensate at all times. Do not damage, displace, inhibit heat transfer, or cause erosion of the coil surface or fins, and conform to coil manufacturer recommendations when available. Thoroughly rinse coils with clean water to remove any latent residues.

4.3.6. Antimicrobial Agents and Coatings: Only apply antimicrobial agents if active fungal growth is reasonably suspected, or where unacceptable levels of fungal contamination have been verified through testing. Perform application of any antimicrobial agents used to control the growth of fungal or bacteriological contaminants after the removal of surface deposits and debris. Use only antimicrobial agents registered by the U.S. Environmental

Protection Agency (EPA 402-F-91-102) (EPA 402-C-01-001) specifically for use within

HVAC system. Apply antimicrobial agents in strict accordance with manufacturer's instructions. Use only antimicrobial coating products, for both porous and non-porous surfaces, which are EPA registered, water soluble solutions with supporting efficacy data and MSDS records. Apply antimicrobial coatings according to manufacturer's instructions.

Spray coatings directly onto interior ductwork surfaces, rather than "fog" downstream onto surfaces. Achieve a continuous film on the surface to be treated by the coating application, and apply in strict accordance with, manufacturer's minimum millage surface application rate standards for effectiveness.

4.4. Cleanliness Verification

4.4.1. General: Verification of HVAC System cleanliness will be determined after mechanical cleaning and before the application of any treatment or introduction of any treatment-related substance to the HVAC system, including antimicrobial agents and coatings.

4.4.2. Visual Inspection: Visually inspect the HVAC system to ensure that no visible contaminants are present. If no contaminants are evident through visual inspection, consider the HVAC system clean; however, further verification of the system cleanliness through gravimetric or wipe testing analysis testing may be requested at the discretion of the CO, as specified herein. If visible contaminants are evident through visual inspection, re-clean those portions of the system where contaminants are visible, and subject to re-inspection for cleanliness.

4.4.3. Gravimetric Analysis: At the expense of the Contractor, test sections of all four (4) zones of the HVAC system for cleanliness using the NADCA Vacuum Test (gravimetric analysis) as specified in applicable NADCA Standards. Levels of debris collected are to be equal to or less than acceptable levels defined in applicable NADCA Standards. If gravimetric analysis determines that levels of debris are equal to or lower than those levels specified, the system is considered clean and to have passed cleanliness verification. If gravimetric analysis determines that levels of debris exceed those specified in applicable NADCA standards, the system will not be considered clean, and re-cleaning of those sections of the system which failed cleanliness verification will be required at the expense of the HVAC system cleaning contractor. Perform cleanliness verification immediately after mechanical cleaning and before the HVAC system is restored to normal operation.

4.4.4. Verification of Coil Cleaning: Cleaning is to restore the coil pressure drop to within 10 percent of the pressure drop measured when the coil was first installed. If the original pressure drop is not known, the coil will be considered clean only if the coil is free of foreign matter and chemical residue, based on a thorough visual inspection (see NADCA

HVAC Inspection Manual Standards).
