Designer's Guide to Ceiling-Based Air Diffusion

This concise, fully illustrated guide helps HVAC engineers and system designers enhance thermal comfort, increase indoor air quality, and decrease occupant complaints. The indexed guide begins with practical background information on comfort, IAQ, acoustics, jet flow, and room air diffusion. Air outlets and inlets and their performance are then reviewed, with an explanation of three design methods, detailed sample calculations, and equipment selections. Step-by-step examples address everyday applications, such as offices, conference rooms, warehouse stores, and hotel rooms. Practical advice on drawings, schedules, specifications, construction, and maintenance are also provided throughout this easy-to-read guide. ASHRAE Research Project 1065.
