With experience, it becomes easier. However, a new client, a new type of building or a very different climate can be a challenge. We are now going to briefly outline the range of factors that affect system choice and finish by introducing a process that designers can use to help choose a system. The factors, or parameters that influence system choice can conveniently be divided into the following groups: ᭹ ᭹ ᭹ ᭹ ᭹ Building design Location issues Utilities: availability and cost Indoor requirements and loads Client issues Building Design The design of the building has a major influence on system choice.

These varying loads may be due to different inside uses of the spaces, or due to changes in cooling loads because the sun shines into some spaces and not others. Thus our simple system, which supplies a single source of heating or cooling, must be modified to provide independent, variable cooling or heating to each space. ” A zone may be a separate room. A zone may also be part of a large space. For example, a theatre stage may be a zone, while the audience seating area is a second zone in the same big space.

The BASIC program listing is included in Standard 55, Appendix D. The Class B thermal limits are based on 80% acceptability, leaving about 10% of the occupants not comfortable due to the overall thermal conditions and 10% not comfortable due to local thermal discomfort. 5 clo in the summer, and a design humidity of between 40 and 50%, the acceptable conditions, the comfort envelope, will be within the heavy lines on the chart. Remember that the chart is for 80% acceptability, although ideally 100% of the occupants would find the conditions thermally acceptable.
