 Early in the design process, RWDI can assist the mechanical design engineering team in determining the optimum configuration of the mechanical system for an animal holding room. Computer simulations of the airflow patterns in rooms can be performed using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) techniques.
Exhaust Gas DispersionThe primary exhaust concerns are odour from the holding rooms and the cage washing areas, or may impact on sensitive pedestrian areas and neighboring buildings.
Internal VentilationIndoor air quality is affected by both the amount and distribution of ventilation air. Correct design for temperature, velocity, control, insures proper air distribution and can reduce dust, contaminates, outside air and energy requirements.
Noise / Acoustics / VibrationNearby transportation or industrial noise sources, such as highways or heliports, may disturb animals and staff in a holding room. Sound levels from HVAC equipment may annoy neighbors, as well as, animals. Interior partitions may not provide adequate privacy. Atriums, holding rooms, and cage washing areas may have poor acoustical conditions. Vibration may also impact sensitive equipment such as electron microscopes and measuring devices. | |
