Heating, cooling and ventilation
Submission brief - updated after the BH Gmunden meeting on 19 August 2026. The earlier hall-airflow and fixed multi-split assumptions are not the submission basis. A qualified installer must now produce the room-by-room ventilation project for the complete layout.
Required professional project
The installer must receive the same scaled layout used for the BH application: five escape rooms, one children’s room, all shared/customer areas, the staff room, sanitary rooms and the maximum people in each room. The application maximum for the premises is 50 people.
The project should state at least:
- the design occupancy and required outdoor-air quantity for every room;
- the combined design airflow and operating modes for occupied, unoccupied, purge and emergency conditions;
- the location, size and route of every supply, extract, transfer and outside-air opening;
- fan, duct, damper, silencer, filter and control selections;
- the relevant dB/noise data for the equipment and complete system, plus how room-to-room and outside sound transfer is prevented;
- fire/smoke treatment for every penetration through a fire-separating wall or ceiling;
- controls, sensors, alarms and failure response;
- measurable commissioning values for each room and the complete system; and
- access, cleaning, filter replacement, inspection and maintenance requirements.
The exact calculation basis and accepted thresholds belong to the installer’s project and BH review. Previous rule-of-thumb airflows for a three-room/four-product launch must not be copied into the submission.
Ventilation and heat-pump information for the BH
Provide:
- manufacturer and model data sheets;
- rated airflow, heating/cooling output, electrical data and sound data;
- exact indoor and outdoor equipment positions on the plan, matching the required equipment-location information in the BH protocol;
- duct, refrigerant, condensate, electrical and maintenance-access routes;
- façade/roof/window penetrations and landlord consent where required; and
- the relationship between ventilation air and heat-pump heating/cooling.
A heat pump does not itself prove adequate fresh air. If the proposed equipment only recirculates room air for heating/cooling, the ventilation project must show the separate outdoor-air solution.
Coordination before walls and ceilings are fixed
- Confirm the construction below the hall/ceiling downward and the wall to the neighbouring hall with Herr Gillesberger.
- Coordinate all penetrations and dampers with the approved fire-separation design.
- Reserve accessible service space; do not permanently bury equipment behind drywall or scenery.
- Coordinate power, emergency response and general/safety lighting with the electrical contractor.
- Keep grilles, access panels and emergency devices clear of scenery and removable finishes.
Quote and commissioning gate
Obtain a written, like-for-like quote only after the room layout and people per room are fixed. The quote must separate design, equipment, installation, fire/smoke components, electrical work, controls, commissioning, documentation and maintenance.
Before opening, retain the approved project, equipment data sheets, measured commissioning report, operating instructions and maintenance schedule in the facility file.
