System performance evaluation and design guidelines for displacement ventilation.

Author(s) : ASHRAE, CHEN Q., GLICKSMAN L.

Type of monograph: Book

Summary

This book presents system performance evaluation and includes a 10-step design guideline for displacement ventilation systems for US buildings. These design guidelines present two important models: 1) to calculate the temperature difference between the head and the foot level of an occupant; and 2) to determine the ventilation effectiveness at the breathing level. Extract from the table of contents: introduction; literature review; experimental study and validation of CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) program; models for prediction of temperature difference and ventilation effectiveness; performances evaluation of displacement ventilation; energy and cost analysis; design guidelines.
