Question

The requirement for plenummed cabling in the area above the ceiling tile may be justified in two ways.

Expert Solution

Step 1

A plenum area is a region of a building that can aid in the circulation of heated/conditioned or return airflows, often at pressures higher than atmospheric, for the purposes of heating and cooling systems.

Plenum is commonly defined as the area under a raised floor or between the structural ceiling and the dropped ceiling. However, some drop-ceiling designs generate a tight seal that prevents airflow and may not be regarded as a plenum air-handling zone.
