Design Guide Organization
The Design Guide Chapters are organized around key design considerations and
components that impact the performance of VAV systems.
Appendices to the Design Guide present monitored data that emphasize the importance of
designing for efficient “turndown” of system capacity. Measured cooling loads and airflows
for several buildings show that both zones and air handlers typically operate far below design
capacity most of the time.
The diagram in Figure 3 shows the Design Guide content followed by brief descriptions of
each of the Chapters.
