ICC-ES AC105
Full Name
ICC-ES AC105 – Acceptance Criteria for Recirculating Commercial Kitchen Hoods
Scope
ICC-ES AC105 establishes the acceptance criteria for evaluating the performance of recirculating commercial kitchen hoods. The criteria ensure these hoods meet the requirements of the International Mechanical Code (IMC) and the Uniform Mechanical Code (UMC).
Key aspects covered within the scope of AC105 include:
- Grease removal efficiency: assessment of the hood’s ability to remove grease from the exhaust air stream to prevent fire hazards.
- Odor removal efficiency: evaluation of the hood’s effectiveness in removing odors and improving indoor air quality.
- Airflow performance: assessment of the hood’s ability to capture and contain cooking effluent, maintaining proper ventilation in the kitchen.
- Noise levels: evaluation of the hood’s sound output to ensure it complies with acceptable noise levels in commercial kitchens.
- Safety features: assessment of safety features such as fire suppression systems, automatic shut-off mechanisms, and electrical safety compliance.
