Author(s) : TAYLOR S. T., STEIN J.

Type of article: Article

Summary

Selecting the inlet size of a variable air volume (VAV) terminal box requires the consideration of five factors: pressure drop across the box; ability of the VAV box controller to measure and control the desired minimum and maximum airflow setpoints; first costs of the VAV box, its installation, and controls; noise generation; and space constraints. The authors make the point concerning this question.
