• No room for
new LC
• Not room for
LC's along both
walls in a std 3
metre grid
• Not sufficient
handling space
in front of LC's
• No space
for ducts for
new HVAC
(refurbish)
• HVAC capacity
is limited
• New HVAC
capacity is too
expensive for
the LC case
• EHS issues
occur due
to noise in
existing and
overloaded
ventilation
systems; air

high

• Ventilation

• Install two-for-one = two PACTA's
- one for new LC and one for
existing LC.
• No extra HVAC may be needed!
