The Science of ComfortTM
In the world of air distribution, a drop box is a plenum with multiple air outlets that is connected directly to an air handling unit (AHU) by a short run of ductwork. A drop box can be an effective way to deliver a substantial volume of conditioned air to large, enclosed spaces.

Air-to-water heat pump systems are highly efficient HVAC solutions, but optimizing their performance depends on addressing key factors – most notably, the hot water supply temperature (HWST). And when these heat pumps are paired with a VAV distribution system, it’s especially critical to select the correct coil configuration.

Pressure fluctuations in a comfort-cooling variable air volume (VAV) HVAC system arise from various design, operational and external factors. These issues must be addressed to ensure consistent airflow, energy efficiency and occupant comfort.

Fan coil units are used in HVAC systems to provide heating, cooling and dehumidification for individual zones or spaces. They work by using a heat exchanger to transfer energy between water and air, coupled with a fan to circulate conditioned air throughout the room.
