Hiya,

I am doing a shell and core assessment for a retail space. The developer has advised that they want the system to be a fan coil system.

My question - what are reasonable SFPs figures for the system, and for the terminal units?

Check out the NCM modelling Guide 2010 because that lists what the target (notional) building uses (and the 2013 draft that is available from the BRE)

For a FCU system the 2010 target building will use a central fresh air SFP of 1.8W/(l/s) and a terminal SFP for the local unit of 0.5W/(l/s).

However, the 2013 regulations will see the target building terminal SFP improved to 0.3W/(l/s) on the notional building from 6th April and so that's what I would recommend as a starting figure.
