The Science of ComfortTM
As the architecture and construction industries pivot toward energy efficiency and renewability, two innovations are reshaping how we think about building performance and occupant well-being: mass timber construction and underfloor air distribution (UFAD) systems. These technologies work in harmony to create environmentally responsible spaces that are both comfortable to be in and stunning to look at.

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.
