Designing Stratified Air Distribution (Displacement and UFAD)
September 2016 | PTP 6003: Using the buoyancy effect and letting the air stratify in the occupied space can lead to improved occupant thermal comfort and energy savings. The general concept and several building case studies will be explored.
|
Selecting Air Distribution in Tall and Wide Spaces
June 2016 | PTP 1008: Selecting air distribution in tall and wide spaces can be challenging due to several factors including the thermal load and the interior aesthetic. This presentation will discuss how to properly select the air distribution device type and location.
|
Designing Overhead Air Distribution for Increased Occupant Thermal Comfort
March 2016 | PTP 1006: Recent ASHRAE research has shown the impact of lower minimum air volumes by diffuser outlet type. The impact of these lower air volumes on the occupant and the energy consumption will be explored.
|
The Impact of Hybrid Ventilation Systems on Energy Consumption
August 2015 | PTP 8002: This presentation discusses the opportunities and options to consider when selecting hybrid air distribution. The webinar provides examples of a variety of air delivery and cooling system options that satisfy aesthetic constraints without compromising energy efficiency. Explains how HVAC fits into the 14 patterns of Biophilic Design.
