Summary

A well-designed building should primarily reduce cooling and heating needs to equipment and strict minimum. However, the current trend is to use large glazed surfaces and light constructions which do not facilitate by any means the task of the HVAC designer who has to ensure a pleasant indoor climate. In addition to this, increasing energy consumption of office equipment and lighting soon leads to widespread overheating of the workplace. Indoor climate design should also take into account the users' comfort (by reducing excessive temperatures to a minimum) and global warming. These factors play a determining role when choosing an air-conditioning unit.
