PHILIP MORRIS INCORPORATED 120 PARK AVENUE, NEW YORK„N.Y.10017 FREDRIC S. T~SH'MAN ASSISTANT GENERAL'COUNSEL TiO: Please see distribution This is further to my report at the March Coumittee of Counsel meeting regarding a Special Research Project on proposed ventilation standards. The wotlk will be performed by Code Consultants, Incorporated of St. Louis and'will involve an analysis, based on an existing modern high-rise office building, of the increased costs that would be incurred by virtue of the proposed'AS'HRAE 62-1981 ventilation requirements. The areas in which substantial increases could be anticipated are building construction (mechanical, electrical, spatial) and building operation (energy consumption, leasing). All calculations.on energy consumption will be run by a standard energy simulation computer program using design specifications from the office building. The results fromithese analyses will be incorporated into graphic aids suitable for public presentations. We are informed'that the engineers and code consultants involved~in the project hold the view that the proposed code changes would':require substantial increases in costs without the consequent provision of justifiable benefits to building occupants. The required'funding of $26,750 will be handled through Special Fund 4, and other arrangements will be coordinated through Shook, Hardy & Bacon. Sincerely, t cc: Bernard V.
