DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Funds are requested to perform much needed equipment renovations in the animal facilities of the John B. Pierce Laboratory, Inc. The HVAC system currently serving this area dates back to 1962, when the original animal quarters were constructed. Recent AAALAC inspections have noted that this system is barely adequate to provide an acceptable environment for the animal quarters. Additionally, there is no method of controlling the humidity of the air within the animal rooms, and this too has been a source of concern during both AAALAC and PACUC inspections. Thus, upon the recommendation of engineering consultants, we are proposing to replace three (3) existing HVAC units with a single larger centralized air-handling unit, which will also have a humidification unit capable of maintaining RH within acceptable limits in all animal-holding rooms.

描述（由申请人提供）： 要求资金在约翰·B·皮尔斯实验室（John B. Pierce Laboratory，Inc.最近的AAAALAC检查指出，该系统几乎不足以为动物区域提供可接受的环境。此外，没有方法可以控制动物室内空气的湿度，这在AAAALAC和PACUC检查期间也一直是人们关注的来源。因此，根据工程顾问的建议，我们提议用一个较大的集中空气处理单元替换三（3）个现有的HVAC单元，该单元还将具有一个可以在所有动物饲养室中可接受的限制内保持RH的湿化单元。
