How do you heat, cool, dehumidify and ventilate a building? What systems make sense and don't make sense? What do VAV, CAV, HRV, ERV, DX, and other common acronyms mean? Are Ground Source Heat Pumps as bad as the measured results show or is it just bad engineering and miselading marketing ("goethermal" without geysers)? How can an architect tell? Are DOAS (direct outdoor air supply) systems as good as engineers claim? Is underfloor air distribution (UFAD) a scam or a FAD? Do you pressurize or do you depressurize? When and why can small distributed systems be cheaper and more efficient than central systems? You might be surprised that pressurization sucks. What engineers don't tell you and what you need to tell your engineer? Questions, questions and more questions. And a whole bunch of answers from one of the superstars of building science - an architect's engineer - Professor John Straube. The full range of HVAC - small buildings to high rises, commercial buildings to institutional buildings.
