Why Use LLH Systems?Good for business: Offers the potential to lower first cost and/orand/or operating cost whileenhancing comfort, IAQ, and acousticsEnvironmentally responsible: Reduced utility generated greenhouse gas emissions and uses less natural resourcesIdeal for use in health care, institutional, governmental, office building, education, and other markets where VAV systems are used

s u s t a i n a b I l I t y
Yeah, but….
Cold downdrafts
Condensation
![Page 16: National Building Commissioning Conference - bcxa.org · chilled water plant design... New “rules of thumb ...

s u s t a i n a b I l I t y
three keys to… Eliminating Cold Downdrafts
Parallel fan-powered units on the perimeter…
Cooling-only boxes on the interior…
Both with linear slot aspirating diffusers...

Linear Slot Diffuser vs. Typical

s u s t a i n a b I l I t y
What about Condensation?
Cold surfaces must be kept inside the humidity controlled envelope
Night set back and morning pull down controlled off of “interior dew point”
Positive building pressure is critical for “no” condensation and IAQ
Install a vapor barrier with reasonable construction
Design the “P” traps and pitch the condensate drains correctly LEED - WEc1.2
