HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING
The air conditioning for any altitude room must be a closed-loop “Split” system. The required AC system is based on the volume of the room/training space and the number of users in the room at the same time. We provide specifications to an HVAC contractor and they determine the required load or flow rate required to ensure the room can be maintained at a given temperature. The A/C system must be installed by a licensed HVAC contractor.
Heating can be electric, or under-floor (radiant), but cannot involve vented air in the altitude room.
LIGHTING
There are several lighting options available. All lighting options including “canned lights” are available, however special care must be taken to ensure there are no gaps/leakage points.
DOOR
All doors must be sealed around the frame. We provide specifications to contractors for both materials used to construct and seal all doorway apertures.
ELECTRICAL OUTLETS
Although small, the outlets are a common place where the environment can leak. If placed on the wall or in the floor, we must ensure they are sealed.
FLOOR
The flooring can be made of many materials, the best being concrete. If floors are constructed of floating unsealed wood, the flooring must have a sealant placed on the surface to ensure all
CEILING
If installing a custom room, you must use a solid ceiling type. Drop ceilings cannot be used as they allow large leakage levels.
