  • A brief paragraph discussing:
    • any challenges that you encountered in this supply duct routing exercise
      • I encountered issues with placing the flex ducts without obstructing the walls and floors. I ended up trying to place the supply diffusers as close to the ducts as possible to limit obstruction.
    • whether your proposed design meets the project’s spatial design goals
      • The proposed design meets the project’s spatial goals as the actual airflow (CFU) match up with the predicted airflow values and the added elements don’t obstruct the project.
    • any recommendations to make the design more sustainable (and lower the heating and cooling loads)
      • I would ideally place the air handlers more strategically in the hallways and open spaces to conserve energy.
