CENTRALIZED VERSUS DECENTRALIZED AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEMS FOR OFFICE BUILDINGS.

Author(s) : SPOORMAKER H. J.

Summary

DECENTRALIZED AIR CONDITIONING WITH PERIMETER UNITS REPLACED CENTRAL SYSTEMS FROM THE EARLY 1970'S BECAUSE IT ENABLED ROOM COMFORT CONTROL. THE MAJORITY OF ALL AIR CENTRAL SYSTEMS ARE ZONE-CONTROLLED. ROOM UNITS ALSO DO NOT PROVIDE THE EXPECTED PERSONAL COMFORT BECAUSE TO SATISFY INDIVIDUALREQUIREMENTS, ONE UNIT PER PERSON IS REQUIRED. AN ATTRACTIVE SOLUTION FOR A MODERN VERSATILE AIR CONDITIONED BUILDING IS A COMBINATION OF A CENTRAL SYSTEM (TO SAVE ENERGY AND REDUCE LIFE CYCLE COST) AND DECENTRALIZED < MOTOR CAR TYPE COMFORT CONTROL > AT EACH WORK STATION.
