{"product_id":"9781936504497","title":"UFAD Guide: Design, Construction and Operation of Underfloor Air Distribution Systems","description":"The use of underfloor air distribution (UFAD) is increasing in North America as a solution to space conditioning concerns. This design guide provides assistance in the planning, construction, and operation of UFAD systems, while carefully detailing the major differences between UFAD and more traditional forms of space conditioning. UFAD GUIDE incorporates updated results from laboratory and field experiments as well as simulation studies, manufacturer's literature, design experiences from practicing engineers, and relevant guidelines from users of UFAD. For those in the construction, building commissioning, and operations and maintenance industries, this design guide provides a wealth of information on an emerging technology, all while keeping in mind the typical flow of decision making.\u003cp\u003eFeatures:No other comparable UFAD design guide on the market\u003cbr\u003eComprehensive guide and reference\u003cbr\u003eExtensive annotated bibliography\u003cbr\u003eGlossary\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBenefit to the Customer:\u003cbr\u003eHelps users understand what s different about designing and operating UFAD systems in contrast with other systems\u003cbr\u003eUFAD design recommendations presented are supported by research results\u003cbr\u003eGuidance tailored to needs of design consulting engineers, contractors, and building operators\u003cbr\u003eAppropriate for application in schools, churches, offices, libraries, etc.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eASHRAE, founded in 1894, is an international organization of some 50,000 persons.
