17. Buildings with fume hood systems having a total exhaust rate>15,000 cfm must either have variable air volume hood design,
exhaust air heat recovery,or separate make up air supply meeting the following makeup air requirements:-at least 75%of
exhaust flow rate-heated to no more than 2 degrees F below room setpoint temperature-cooled to no lower than 2 degrees
F above room setpoint temperature-no humidification added-no simultaneous heating and cooling
