  • A brief paragraph discussing:
    • any challenges that you encountered in this supply duct routing exercise
    • whether your proposed design meets the project’s spatial design goals
    • any recommendations to make the design more sustainable (and lower the heating and cooling loads)

      Based on the space schedule of this building, I calculate the number of the diffusers for each zone. Since the supply airflow of each diffuser is 500cfm, most zones need 1 or 2 diffusers.

      The HVAC plan is as below.

      The challenge for me is to avoid confliction between ducts. And I need to leave enough room for bent pipes.

      I use VAV unit to control the flow of each rooms since the functions of them are different. By installing VAV systems we can save energy and make people feel more comfortable.

      What’s more, for controls I think we can use thermostats, timers and occupancy sensors to monitor the air condition and adjust the flow or temperature automatically.
