Basics of Room Air Distribution and Air Distribution Performance Index (ADPI)


Approved for New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania Continuing Education Credits-One PDH

The basic physics of air distribution must be fully understood before one can properly select components for a project. This presentation will cover:
1. Diffuser performance terminology
2. Air Diffusion Performance Index (ADPI) definition and purpose
3. Diffuser selection methods for cooling and heating applications
4. Common air distribution devices
5. Selecting and positioning air distribution components
6. System parameters for effective air mixing
7. Well mixed (Inductive) air distribution
8. Overview of  non inductive air distribution
9. LEED requirements for air distribution
10. ASHRAE Thermal Comfort Standard 55-2010 and determining optimum comfort strategies
11. Requirements of ASHRAE Ventilation Standard 61.1-2010 and air distribution component selection
12. Diffuser selection effect on project cost
