The Science of ComfortTM
Obtaining efficient ventilation with overhead mixing systems for applications in heating climates can be a challenge. Not only does the positive buoyancy of the supply air work against the air distribution system, but most overhead mixing systems are designed with low supply air volumes (relative to cooling) and high supply air temperatures (more than 15°F above room temperature).

In this blog series, we’re discussing how to achieve excellent indoor air quality without sacrificing the aesthetics of a space. Part one of the series looked at how long, continuous lengths of linear slot diffusers can integrate overhead mixed air distribution into highly architectural spaces, and part two dug deeper into the border style options available to achieve the desired appearance for a wide variety of applications.

Air distribution is a necessary part of any well-designed indoor space. The HVAC system is used not only to provide heating and cooling in our buildings but also as a source of fresh, clean air. In the case of highly architectural spaces, how can air distribution be effectively integrated into the built environment without negatively impacting the overall appearance and feel of the architectural design?

A variable air volume (VAV) diffuser is essentially a ceiling diffuser with a built-in VAV damper and thermostat. Despite its simplicity, this device comes with many benefits and is an effective way to create small-zone comfort for building occupants.
