Projects Shop/mall ventilation system There are four central fresh air plants, each with three fresh air units that provide filtered, un-conditioned fresh air to the central shop and mall walkway areas. Filtered fresh air is distributed to the central zones through galvanised sheet metal ducts routed above the shop ceilings. These common ventilation systems can also be used in reverse for smoke clearance. Ablution blocks are mechanically ventilated with dedicated extraction systems. Parking area ventilation system The parking areas are mechanically ventilated. These systems are also used as a smoke clearance system, together with the use of jet/trust fans. 1 RACA Journal RACA Journal 2 3 RACA Journal 1.
