Underfloor Air Distribution AI
AI design of raised floor HVAC distribution systems.
Definition
Underfloor Air Distribution AI designs raised floor HVAC systems that deliver conditioned air through floor plenums. It optimizes diffuser placement, plenum pressurization, and system integration with building structure for energy-efficient and flexible office environments.
In Depth
Underfloor air distribution (UFAD) delivers conditioned air through a raised floor plenum, providing individual occupant control and improved ventilation effectiveness compared to overhead systems. AI designs the floor plenum dimensions, diffuser layout, and air handling system to deliver uniform comfort conditions while minimizing the fan energy that UFAD's low-pressure distribution enables.
