I believe the Standard 62-89R that Tom refers to is only a DRAFT - I asked a
committee member if he thought it would be adopted by ASHRAE this year and he
thought it doubtful. So it doesn't seem to me to be the new "standard of care"
just yet.

The most useful parts in it for me were the ways to assess how far exhaust
components need to be from intake components and windows.

I thought the new standard to be overly complicated and unwieldy, and likely
that very few engineers who make their living designing these systems day in
and day out were on the committee writing them - too complicated. Just check
out the requirements for design documentation!
