| • IMPORTANT BUILDING VENTILATION STANDARDS
C.T.E. (replaces: NBE-CPI/96)
DESCRIPTION:
ROYAL DECREE 314/2006, 17th March, approving the Spanish Technical Building Code.
PURPOSE:
It is a regulation that lays down the basic quality requirements for buildings and facilities. This regulation covers specific basic building requirements related to the safety and wellbeing of people. These refer to both structural safety and fire protection, and health and safety, noise protection, energy saving and disabled access.
DETAILS:
Article 11. Basic fire safety requirements (SI in Spanish) Article 13. Basic health and safety requirements (HS)
Article 13. Basic health and safety requirements (HS)
RITE
DESCRIPCIÓN:
Regulation on building heating installations.
PURPOSE:
To set the energy efficiency and safety requirements for these installations that are designed to ensure the wellbeing and health of people, during the design and calculation process and during execution, maintenance and use, as well as establish the procedures to prove this fulfilment. Heating installations will include permanent climate control installations (heating, cooling and ventilation). It will apply to heating installations in new or refurbished buildings. It will not apply to heating installations in the part of industrial, agricultural or other processes that is not aimed at ensuring the wellbeing and health and safety of people through heating.
REBT
DESCRIPTION:
Low voltage electrotechnical regulation (2002).
PURPOSE:
This regulation aims to set the technical conditions and guarantees for electrical installations connected to a power supply regarding low voltage limits.
DETAILS:
PURPOSE: a) To ensure the health and safety of people and property. b) To guarantee the operating of these installations and prevent disturbance in other installations and services. c) To contribute to the technical reliability and economic efficiency of the installations.
SCOPE OF APPLICATION:
1. The present regulation will apply to the installations that distribute electrical energy, generators for internal consumption and receivers, with the following nominal voltage limits:
a) Alternating current: equal to or less than 1,000 volts.
b) Continuous current: equal to or less than 1,500 volts.
2. This regulation will apply:
a) To new installations and changes and extensions to these.
b) To existing installations before they enter into force that undergo major changes or repairs and to extensions to these.
c) To existing installations before they enter into force regarding the inspection system, although the technical criteria applicable for these inspections will be those relating to the regulations under which they were approved.
UNE-EN 13779:2005 (replaces: UNE 100011:1991)
DESCRIPTION:
Non-residential building ventilation. Requirements regarding features of building ventilation and air conditioning systems.
PURPOSE:
This document applies to the design of ventilation and air conditioning systems for non-residential buildings used for human occupation. It focuses on the definition of relevant parameters for these systems. Naturally ventilated buildings are not included under the purpose and scope of application of this document.
The classification system in this regulation uses different categories. Examples are given for some values and the typical ranges with default values are given for the requirements. The default values provided in this document must be used when other values are not specified. The classification should always be suitable for the building type and its use, and the classification criteria should be explained if the examples given in the regulation are not used. National regulations must always be fulfilled, even when outside the ranges given in this document.
DETAILS:
To provide the guidelines for ventilation systems in order to ensure a comfortable and health indoor environment.
UNE 100165:2004 (replaces: UNE 100165:1992)
DESCRIPTION:
Climate control. Smoke extraction and ventilation in kitchens.
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this regulation is to set the criteria for the calculation and design of mechanical ventilation systems in industrial kitchens. This regulation does not establish the design criteria for different types of extractor hoods in order to increase their intake efficiency. The regulation applies to commercial kitchens that run on electricity or any other fuel.
DETAILS:
The extraction airflow of an extractor hood is the most important aspect of industrial kitchen ventilation.
UNE 100166:2004 (replaces: UNE 100166:1992)
DESCRIPTION:
Climate control. Car park ventilation.
PURPOSE:
This regulation lays down the criteria for the calculation and design of mechanical ventilation systems in underground car parks and natural ventilation in aboveground car parks. The regulation applies to public car parks.
DETAILS:
The ventilation airflow must under no circumstances be less than 18 m3/h * m2.
UNE-EN 12101-3:2002
DESCRIPTION:
Smoke and heat control systems. Part 3: Specifications for mechanical smoke and heat extractor vents.
PURPOSE:
This part specifies the necessary elements and provides the testing methods for mechanical smoke and heat extractor vents that are installed as part of an air inlet and heat and smoke extraction system. It also describes the procedures to approve a range of mechanical heat and smoke air vents and their motors based on a limited number of tests.
DETAILS:
Classification by fan temperature and operating time. Class F400 (400ºC/2hours).
UNE-EN 12101-6:2006 (replaces: UNE 100040:1996)
DESCRIPTION:
Smoke and heat control systems. Part 6: Specifications for pressure differential systems. Equipment.
PURPOSE:
This regulation covers the information and requirements for design, calculation methods, installation and testing of the systems designed to limit the spreading of smoke through pressure differentials.
DETAILS:
To supply outside air to a pressurised space mechanical fans with the right ducts must be used where necessary.
