Underfloor air distribution systems: benefits and when to use the system in building design.

Author(s) : MCCARRY B. T.

Summary

Underfloor air distribution systems are a viable option for mechanical system building design. They are comprised of raised floor panels with a supply air plenum in the void between the raised floor and the concrete structure. Supply air grilles are flush mounted to the floor to create a flat floor and walking surface. The engineering challenge is to determine when to use underfloor air distribution systems and how to effectively apply them. The best places to use this system are in owner-occupied buildings with a high churn rate and or frequent technology changes. The benefits of this system are described.
