S.No.CheckpointIS RequirementStatus
A. SUPPLY AIR FLOW MEASUREMENT
A1Supply air flow measured at main outlet or supply plenum; flow meter or anemometer readings recorded
Acceptance: Flow measured in m³/s or CFM; ≥95% of design flow rate acceptable; measurement method and meter calibration documented
Cl. 4.1 — Main supply flow
OK
NC
NA
HOLD
A2Static pressure drop measured from plenum to room outlets (differential pressure gauge)
Acceptance: Pressure drop measured in Pa; acceptable range typically 50-200 Pa depending on duct design; documented
Cl. 4.2 — Pressure drop assessment
OK
NC
NA
HOLD
B. RETURN AIR FLOW MEASUREMENT
B1Return air flow measured at return plenum or main return duct; values recorded and compared with supply flow
Acceptance: Return flow ≈ Supply flow (within ±5% tolerance); if exhaust present, return + exhaust = supply ±5%
Cl. 5.1 — Return flow measurement
OK
NC
NA
HOLD
C. EXHAUST AIR FLOW MEASUREMENT
C1Exhaust air flow measured at exhaust outlet (if applicable); flow rate recorded
Acceptance: Exhaust flow ≥ minimum required per design (typically 10-30% of supply); measurement documented
Cl. 6.1 — Exhaust flow measurement
