Alternate Air Delivery Systems for Hot and Humid Climates
Abstract
Carter & Burgess first began using triple deck
multi-zone units, in place of traditional VAV
systems, on the Texas State Capitol restoration.
Since the completion of that project design in early
1991, our firm has now used triple deck multi-zone
units in the Harris County Criminal Courts Building
in Houston, one of the most hot and humid climates
in the United States, as well as in several other
facilities. This paper will discuss the adoption of
ASHRAE 62, its effects on VAV systems, and how
triple deck multi-zone units offer an alternative
system to cooling in hot and humid climates. We
recommend all design firms add triple deck multizone
units to their repertoire of design solutions.
