Improved Ventilation Effectiveness • Effective mixing of ventilation air within space • Exhaust from appropriate spaces • Provide clean outdoor air, avoid: • loading docks • exhaust vents • plumbing stacks • waste collection • stagnant water
Air Distribution • Ductwork • Metal • Flexible • Grilles, Louvers, & Registers • Dampers • Shut off • Fire • Smoke • Sealants • Supports
Air Pressure • Positive/negative air pressures • Scenting • Stairwells • Fire issues
Terminology • ASHRAE • American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air Conditioning Engineers • Ventilation • Provides a controlled amount of air to a room or building • Fresh Air • “Outside air” which may be hot, humid, or cold, lack of moisture, or be polluted. • Ventilation Rates • The movement of a specified amount of air • Generally Covered in Codes
Psychrometrics • Dry bulb temp. • Wet bulb temp. • Humidity • Dew point • Moisture content • Heating • Cooling • Humidify • De-Humidify Psychrometric Chart
Load Calculations • Heating and Cooling • Design conditions • Building shell load • Internal load • Ventilation load • Occupancy schedules
Ventilation Systems • Central • Room • Zone • Kitchen • Ventilation Ducts
Terminology • Dry Filters • Oil-Treated • Electronic • Pollution Control
Additional Equipment • Energy Recovery Units
Mechanical Dehumidification • Return air is mixed with ventilation air • Cold coil condenses moisture • Heat is added back (electric or gas) so that room air is not over cooled- Reheat Filter
