Air conditioning of classrooms in schools and training centres.

Author(s) : LULLA M. H.

Type of article: Article, Case study

Summary

The design of the air conditioning system for school classrooms is characterized by the following features and requirements and each item is explained in some detail later in the article, except items 1 and 2 which are self-explanatory:
1. Most classrooms work fixed hours and work or break simultaneously;
2. Work hours per year are small, around 1800 compared to 3000 in a general office and 8000 for a 24x7 facility;
3. Occupancy per unit area is high and this necessitates equally high fresh air intake;
4. Cooling loads are high and are more 'latent' than in, say, offices, necessitating the use of deeper coils and speed control on evaporator fans;
5. Low noise level is most important;
6. Good IAQ is a must, implying adequate fresh air and efficient air filtration;
7. Proper operation and good maintenance are essential to maintain the classroom AC system in top condition.
