TRG7 Under Floor Air Distribution

 

TRG7.UFAD is concerned with reviewing and rewriting the ASHRAE Underfloor Air Distribution Design Guide to incorporate practical design, construction, and operational experiences that have become available since its publication in 2003.  The content is based on the assumption that the appropriate decision maker(s) has decided to provide a building system that utilizes an UFAD system for environmental comfort. The design guide is to provide state of the art technical information to assist designers in their efforts. The scope of the document will include guidance on: architectural issues; structural and seismic issues; interfaces with raised access flooring; plenum pressurization, air leakage, and moisture issues; fire and smoke control issues; physical safety and security issues; thermal, lighting, acoustic, vibration, and indoor air quality control; room air diffusion; dynamic thermal loads; system capacities and controllability; testing, adjusting, balancing and commissioning issues; maintenance and operational issues; flexibility and change issues; and energy and economic issues .
