Each common use area shall have eighty percent effective filters on an air supply system. Each air supply system serving solely an administrative area shall have a minimum of thirty percent effective filters. These filter efficiencies shall be warranted by the manufacturer and shall be based on the ASHRAE 52.2, 2012 edition, American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air Conditioning Engineers dust spot test method with atmospheric dust. Each filter frame shall be durable and carefully dimensioned and shall provide an airtight fit with the enclosing duct work.
