The Science of ComfortTM
VAV diffusers help keep rooms comfortable using an individual thermostat and a built-in damper to create small zones of control. The amount of air provided by the VAV diffuser is based on three factors: the temperature in the room, the room’s set point and the temperature of the supply air.

The most challenging class from my university days was a grad-level course on thermal convection. For four months, our professor rederived our favorite fluid mechanics equations using partial differential equations. (I scraped by with a C+ and learned just enough about Navier-Stokes equations to sound pretentious.)

Operating rooms (ORs) come in many varieties depending on the type of surgeries performed in them. A hybrid OR, for example, is home to large imaging equipment, whether that’s a CT scanner or an MRI machine.

When it comes to designing an HVAC system, the moisture content of the air within a space is just as important as the supply air temperature. In a system with active chilled beams, the moisture content becomes a critical factor, so it is important to understand the concept of moisture depression.
