EMERGENCY WAR PRACTICES
INFORMATION given in the Technical Data Section of; the Guide is based on standard and commonly accepted good practices. Due to war conditions and in order to save critical materials for war service, many substitutions in /materials and changes in methods have been necessary; The purpose of this supplement is to indicate some of these practices1 used during 1942 to meet the conditions imposed, by war.
Regulations by. the 0. S. War Production Board have banned the manufacture, installation and sale of heating, ventilating, air conditioning and -refrigeration' equipment of almost all kinds except for essential war and civilian use. Interpretation of the regulations discloses that all air conditioning for personal comfort is eliminated, and equipment for sup plying preference orders only can be made available. In this Way, the most essential needs of the war program, by virtue of their high priority rating, have first access to whatever equipment is available. Provision has been made for securing materials to permit emergency repair services to be rendered on existing equipment.
Physiological Principles
1. Due to the necessity of conserving fuel, attention has been directed toward the possibility of relaxing the A.S;H.V.E. winter optimum, comfort standards of 66 deg effective temperature during the emergency. In'a report* submitted to the Fuel Rationing Division of the U. S. Office of Price Administration, in September, 1942, a group of medical and public health authorities suggested minimum, tempera tures for. emergency requirements, subject to local, state and municipal regulations or codes, as listed herewith in dry-bulb tem
peratures:
a. For the average private home, 60 to 68 F (majority opinion 65 F).
Compiled from information furnished by con- ' suiting engineers, manufacturers and trade associa tion representatives.
'Medical and Public Health Aspects of Heating Oil Rationing, by L. D. Bristol, M.D: (A.S.ii.V.i-i. Journal-Section. Heating, Piping and Air Cooditioning, October, 1942, p. 627). '
b. For the average apartment house/ 60 to 68 F (majority-opinion 65 F).
c. For hospitals and sanatorioms, 68 to 80 F (majority opinion 70 F, except operating rooms
80 F).
d. For schools, .60 to 70 F (majority opinion
65 F).
.. .
e. For department stores, office buildings, etc.. 60 to 68 F (majority opinion 65 F). ... .
2. Ventilation standards that have been recognized for many years are not being observed.. In the case of .schools, audi toriums and other places of public assem blage, where.design standards of not less than 10 cfm per person of outside air have been previously used, it has been common practice to reduce this outside ventilation rate to 5 cfm per person. Air changes for toilets, locker rooms, rest rooms and kitchens have been reduced. The use of exhaust fans has been curtailed in favor of gravity, or window ventilation wherever possible.
