Air Distribution System Design:

       The selection and location of air outlets and air control devices are intertwined such that one cannot independently select one or the other. In the open plan office, the range of acceptable performance of an air outlet can be determined using Air Diffusion Performance Index (ADPI) calculations found in the ASHRAE handbooks. But open ceiling, closed office and perimeter spaces require other means of selection. The devices used to control the quantity of air such as VAV and fan powered terminals, also have selection criteria, some of which tie into the outlet selected.  

     We will discuss location and selection options, as well as current understandings of actual space loads. 

Mr. Int-Hout has written over thirty technical papers and articles on VAV system performance, acoustics, air diffusion, controls and occupant comfort. He was recently Chairman of both ASHRAE Technical and Standards Committees on Thermal Comfort, is a past Chairman of several other related ASHRAE Technical and Standards Committees, as well as ASHRAE Standards and Environmental Health Committees. He received the ASHRAE Distinguished Service Award in 1993. He is currently the Chairman of the ARI Committee on Applied Acoustics (885) and Chair of ISO 205 U.S. Panel on Thermal Comfort. He is presently a member of the ASHRAE Technical Activities Committee (TAC).
