SOLV 4 - The Low Load Challenge: HVAC Systems for High Performance Homes & Apartments
Thursday, February 22, 2007 · 8:30 AM - 10:00 AMHigh performance homes and apartments present a unique challenge to designers regarding how best to provide for the relatively small heating and ventilation requirements. Typical mechanical systems in low load conditions can lead to problems with comfort, air quality, energy efficiency, and humidity control. There are many innovative approaches for providing heating, cooling, and ventilation for these conditions.
By attending this session, participants will
- Understand the range of heating loads possible in "typical" and "high performance" homes and apartments
- Learn a variety of options for cost-effectively addressing these loads with innovative approaches
- Recognize the limitations of conventional HVAC equipment in low load conditions
