Phase 2 would add continuous chemical-room ventilation to meet code; cost figures in transcript require clarification

He said the new makeup unit would operate at low speed when unoccupied and ramp up when personnel enter the space, helping to prevent migration of fluoride, chlorine and other vapors into the rest of the facility.
