(a) There is a very large number of Government owned buildings and it is not possible to give a precise answer in respect of all buildings without considerable research. However, Government owned buildings designed, constructed and maintained using water based air-conditioning would be expected to comply with standards and regulations applicable at the time of construction. AS 3666, Parts 1 and 2, and the Health (Air-handling and Water Systems) Regulations 1994 are the current applicable standards. (b) Not applicable.
