111 items
To achieve the above the Consultant will work with the Owner, Architect, HVAC Engineer/Contractor, General Contractor, Pool Contractor, as required.
EXCLUSIONS
• ENGINEERING
• Structural engineering works – by others
• HVAC
- The Heating & Ventilating Contractor is responsible for understanding the heating and cooling loads for poolroom air and the Swimming Pool Contractor for the heating requirements for the pool water. Despite the heating and cooling capacities of the dehumidifier unit, it will be the responsibility of the HVAC engineer/contractor to allow for 100% of the room air heating loads. Consultant will provide the engineer/contractor with information on projected moisture loads, the heating and cooling capacities available from the selected dehumidifier unit, and integration of the dehumidifier into the HVAC system design - he will also specify equipment suitable for these loads.
• POOL HEATING
- The Swimming Pool Contractor will be responsible for the provision of a stanard pool furnace suitable for maintaining the heat in the pool and whirlpool.
