40 cars in a basement garage

I take it you are you ventilating this space?

If not then prepare to die by carbon monoxide poisoning.

In the UK we would have to ventilate to a constant rate of 6ac/hr and go to high speed (10ac/hr) if initiated by either a carbon monoxide detector or a fire alarm.

The fans would need to be fire rated at 300C for an hour and the system would need to be in 2 parts (we assume this means run/standby plant)

My ACH is around 7.Is that good? I'll use CO detectors,also.

Thanks!
 
Depends on the local codes

Look in ASHRAE, they give a rate per vehicle or per HP
