Description
Selecting a building's comfort system represents a complex trade off between a number of different perspectives. Architects, engineers, contractors, building owners and developers have many things
to consider. There are issues of first cost and operating costs. What does it take to operate a system? How is the space to be arranged and used? While the HVAC system may represent only 10 to 15 percent of the building's total cost, poor decisions in system design made today can result in significant problems for building occupants and owners tomorrow. There are the horror stories of sky high energy bills and almost everyone has heard about the sick building syndrome – buildings that
suffer from inadequate ventilation or poor air distribution. There are other consequences of poorly designed HVAC systems. Poorly designed systems in retail space can affect product sales. HVAC
design errors in a manufacturing plant can affect quality and productivity levels, and in hospitals and high tech operations, even the placement of the equipment can be critical.
