1.  The issue of ventilation in cold rooms during periods of occupancy or for storage of hazardous materials must be addressed. EH&S should be consulted to review arrangements for providing fresh and exhaust air during periods of occupancy and for storage of hazardous materials or compressed gases.

_{Good Practice per Stanford University}

Cold Rooms used only for the storage of non-hazardous materials do not require ventilation in addition to that specified by the manufacturer.

2.  Specialty rooms, designed for human occupancy must have latches that can be operated from the inside to allow for escape.

3.  Latches and frames shall be designed to allow actuation under all design conditions, such as freezing. Magnetic latches are recommended.
