Advanced Variable Air Volume VAV System Design Guide. The Advanced Variable Air Volume (VAV) System Design Guide (Design Guide) provides a powerful new resource for Heating, Ventilation, and Air- Conditioning (HVAC) designers. It presents brand new information on fan selection and modeling and provides the most current recommendations on VAV airside system design. The Design Guide recommendations include best practices for airside system design, covering fans, air handlers, ducts, terminal units, diffusers, and controls, with emphasis on getting the air distribution system components to work together in an integrated fashion.
Key topics critical to optimal VAV design and performance are:
- 1) Early design issues,
- Air Conditioning System Design
- 2) Zone issues,
- 3) VAV box selection,
- 4) Duct design,
- HVAC Design Sourcebook 2020 Edition
- 5) Supply air temperature reset,
- 5) Fan type, size, and control,
- 6) Coils and filters
- 7) Outdoor air, return air, and exhaust air Control.
