Summary

Most large retail spaces are ventilated, cooled, and heated by all-air systems via constant air volume (CAV) packaged rooftop units (RTUs). CAV RTUs are low first cost, easy to install, and straightforward to maintain. However, designers have begun to decouple ventilation from occupant comfort conditioning. One strategy pairs a dedicated outdoor air system (DOAS) for ventilation and dehumidification with a radiant floor system for sensible cooling.
