HVAC systems for theatres, auditoriums and cinema halls: the art and science of system design.

Author(s) : SINHA S. K., DASTUR R. K.

Type of article: Article, Case study

Summary

The design consideration for any air-conditioning system depends largely on its application. It is a known fact that theatres, auditoriums, concert halls or motion picture theatres (cinema halls) are high occupancy (persons per sq.ft) areas. Consequently, the fresh air requirement is high in order to dilute the CO2 concentration. High occupancy also leads to a greater amount of latent load emitted by the human beings. All these considerations need to be taken into account by the designers when calculating the air-conditioning load. The inside design condition is as per the ASHRAE standard for human comfort. Typically, the comfort band on temperature varies between 21.1 and 24.4 °C with RH not exceeding 65%.
