2) SHGC = 0.25

D. Ductwork Sizing Criteria

1. The velocity of air flow in ductwork is very critical, especially where it is
necessary to maintain a particular noise level, the velocities stated in the table
below give a range of air velocities suitable for applications, with the
corresponding noise rating of NC/RC 30.
MAXIMUM DUCTWORK MAXIMUM PRESSURE
DUCT ELEMENT OR DEVICE
VELOCITY, M/S DROP, PA/M
EXHAUST DUCTS 2.5 1.2

E. Acoustic
1. The noise level within the following space shall not exceed the indicated
numbers:
a. Living Rooms 30 NC/NR
b. Bedrooms 30 NC/NR
c. Corridors 30 NC/NR
d. Kitchens 35 NC/NR
e. Bathrooms 35 NC/NR
f. Utility Rooms 35 NC/NR
