Why Consider Self-Contained Variable Air Volume (VAV)
Floor-by-Floor Systems?
Improved Cash Management
- Factory packaging and testing reduces field labor and installation risk and
improves system reliability.
- Phased equipment start-up matches building lease-up.
- Short construction cycles maximize cash flow.
- Requires less sophisticated maintenance than built-up systems.
Tenant Satisfaction
- Tenants can control system after hours to increase productivity and minimize
expense.
- Complete HVAC system on each floor minimizes tenant inconvenience during
routine maintenance.
Low First Cost Compared to a Water Source Heat Pump System
- Installed tonnage can be reduced up to 20 percent by taking advantage of building diversity and VAV flexibility.
- Condenser water piping and condensate piping are centralized.
Low First Cost Compared to a Central System
- Factory packaged controls reduce field labor, installation time and costs.
- Minimizes need and cost for fire dampers and air shafts.
- Large equipment rooms and penthouses
not needed.
- Condenser water available on each floor for tenant computer systems.
Economical Operation
- Free cooling year-round with waterside economizer.
- Floor-by-fIoor system results in energy savings since only air conditioners on
floors requiring cooling need operate. Especially
economical after normal building occupancy hours.
- Annual system energy consumption comparable to central chilled water system but
with significant energy consumption reduction during
partial occupancy and after-hours.
- Simple heating alternatives include perimeter radiation and fan-powered VAV.
