The Science of ComfortTM
Patient care is constantly evolving, and these changes impact how we design spaces within psychiatric care facilities – including the components for air distribution systems. Patient health and safety is at the forefront of design considerations, but a challenge faced by many HVAC designers is a lack of guidance as to what types of air inlets and outlets should be installed in these unique spaces.

To help simplify the design process for engineers and architects, Price has invested in supporting the way these designers already work. Many engineers and architects are now designing using Autodesk Revit software.

Maintaining a pressure relationship between a target and reference space provides control over the direction of air leakage that occurs between the spaces. Controlling the direction of this “transfer air” helps to prevent the migration of unwanted particles, which can directly impact occupants and products in or near such spaces.

Public schools play an important role in the communities they serve. More than just a place for students to learn, schools offer valuable extracurricular programs for young people and their families. They help foster a connection between the students and the world around them, and the best schools continually rise to the needs of their neighbors. That was the case in Minneapolis, MN, when Ella Baker Global Studies and Humanities Magnet School (formerly Jefferson Middle School) realized its HVAC system was causing too much noise.

The original intention of the Price Engineer’s HVAC Handbook was to create a “polished compilation” of existing design guides and examples from the Price Catalog. In typical Price fashion, we dedicated more than 20,000 internal hours over the course of two years to create an industry-first reference guide on air distribution – complete with 1,350 pages and more than 3,000 illustrations.
