CH-95-11-1 -- HVAC Design for Minimum-, Low- and Medium-Security Federal Correctional Facilities PDF

As the number of inmates convicted of federal crimes has grown, so have the opportunities for heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) engineering professionals to design HVAC systems appropriate for federal correctional facilities. The HVAC design of federal correctional facilities, not unlike any other facilities, must reflect the philosophy of the building owner. Using three actual example of federal correctional facilities, describes various HVAC design features and discusses how these features best meet the owner's philosophy and concerns. The goal is to introduce HVAC engineering professionals to federal correctional facilities and to provide some examples for the HVAC design of minimum-, low-, and medium-security federal correctional facilities.
