Comparison of energy consumption between displacement and mixing ventilation systems for different US buildings and climates.

Author(s) : HU S., CHEN Q., GLICKSMAN L. R.

Summary

The study examined five typical climatic regions as well as different building zones. It was found that a displacement ventilation system may use more fan energy and less chiller and boiler energy than a mixing ventilation system. The total energy consumption is slightly less using a displacement ventilation system. The overall first costs are lower for the displacement ventilation if the system is applied for the core region of a building.
