Chapter 13 – Habitability and Internal Environment13.3.2.9 Define Heating, Ventilation and Air-ConditioningPurposeTo define the heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC)specifications and acceptance criteria.Inputs • The environmental policy for the platform.• Equipment fit and characteristics in each compartment.MethodsNot Identified.Steps • Liaise with stakeholders to revise HFI design principlesapplicable to heating, ventilation and air-conditioning.• Liaise with System Project Managers to define environmentalrequirements for, and effect of, the equipment fit.• Establish acceptable ambient levels of temperature andairflow commensurate with compartment usage.• Specify mandatory standards and minimum design levels.• Define HFI assessment and acceptance criteria.OutputsThe specification will include the following:• Specification of the HFI design principles, their order ofpriority and area of application in the platform designprocess.• Specification of ambient threshold levels of temperature andventilation and control of air-conditioning correlated with:o Compartment usage/functionality.o Specification of mandatory standards and designguidelines.o Specification of the acceptance criteria.HFI ActivitiesNov 2006 Page 13-27 Issue 4
