Summary

A great deal of time is spent designing a system, including sizing chillers and air handlers and laying out pumps and controls, but how much time is spent selecting air-distribution devices? In conversations with design engineers, they estimate spending weeks and months laying out chillers, air handlers, controls and ductwork, but estimate they spend only minutes selecting and laying out air-distribution devices. Most of the HVAC consulting engineer’s time is spent designing a system to meet the required ventilation rate and space temperature, but occupant discomfort can still occur if the space air velocity is too high.
