2.3 Ventilation
Regardless of location, there must be sufficient ventilation (air flow) to prevent
unacceptable temperature rise.
Recommended ventilation is a system of air inlet grills, covering at least 50% of the available
surface area, at the top and bottom of the front and rear doors and a separate outlet grill in
the cupboard top. Should an outlet grill in the cupboard top not be possible, in consultation
with ISTS, a grill mounted as high as possible on either side of the rack cupboard suitable
with provision for internal fan extraction should be considered. Rack equipment ventilates
from front to back and should be taken into consideration when designing the ventilation.
For design purposes, assume a heat load of 100 watts per RU, or a minimum of 1000w or
293 BTU and a temperature rise of 10 degrees Celsius above ambient (maximum). Any
active cooling systems must have a maximum audio profile of 29 dB (A-weighted) at a
distance of 1m from the equipment rack, so as to not interfere with teaching or audio
recording.
2.4 Room Layout
The lectern is to be positioned in a suitable location in consultation with ISTS and FMU. Any
final lectern position shall allow a gap of 1200mm to 1500mm between the front wall and
the lectern, to comply with AS1428 part 2 for access.
Alternative room layouts shall be considered where appropriate in consultation with ISTS
and determined during the design consultation process.
2.5 Projection Surfaces
Fixed projection locations shall utilize either a wall painted with projection optimised paint
or a suitable fixed projection screen, to be determined by ISTS and FMU. Where access to
the wall behind a screen is required a motorized screen shall be installed, to be controlled
through the AMX control system.
Where a painted wall is used as a screen, warning signs shall be mounted to ensure that the
integrity of the screen surface is not compromised by any future works on the wall.
