NFPA 90A: Standard for the Installation of Air-Conditioning and Ventilating Systems, 2015 Edition

Access the gold standard in fire protection requirements for HVAC systems. Get the requirements you need to help ensure appropriate fire protection for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems with NFPA 90A, Standard for the Installation of Air-Conditioning and Ventilating Systems. This ANSI-approved standard for HVAC offers state-of-the-art provisions for stopping the migration of smoke and reducing the chance of fire, gas, and related hazards in forced air systems. This vital resource for helping to protect lives and property covers all areas of building construction, controls, acceptance testing, operation, and maintenance of systems, including filters, ducts, and other equipment. Requirements are used to prevent the migration of smoke and reduce the potential for fire in forced air systems in buildings that are over 25,000 cubic feet or Types III, IV, and V construction over three stories in height. It also applies to other buildings and structures not covered by other applicable NFPA standards.

The 2015 edition of NFPA 90A addresses:

• HVAC systems, components, and air distribution
• Integration of a ventilation and air-conditioning system(s) with building construction
• Controls including wiring, manual control, smoke dampers, and smoke detection for automatic control
• Acceptance testing
