1.3.3.1 Buildings that use ACMV systems to treat in excess of 200 m2 floor area should be designed and constructed such that: (a) the form and fabric of the building do not result in a requirement for excessive installed capacity of ACMV equipment. In particular, the suitable specification of glazing ratios and solar shading are an important way to limit cooling requirements (see Section 1.2.6 above). (b) components such as fans, pumps and refrigeration equipment are reasonably efficient and appropriately sized so as to have no more capacity for demand and standby than is necessary for the task. (c) suitable facilities are provided to manage, control and monitor the operation of the equipment and the systems.
