A/C regulations for OTs

Dear Ronald

What we have here in Brazil for A/C is the standard ABNT NBR 16401:2008
(http://www.abntcatalogo.com.br/norma.aspx?ID=53593)

The standard is divided in three sections

<http://www.abntcatalogo.com.br/norma.aspx?ID=623> ABNT NBR 16401-1:2008 -
Project for installations

<http://www.abntcatalogo.com.br/norma.aspx?ID=567> ABNT NBR 16401-2:2008 -
Parameters for thermal comfort

<http://www.abntcatalogo.com.br/norma.aspx?ID=572> ABNT NBR 16401-3:2008 -
Internal air quality

Unfortunately they are all in Portuguese
