Thermal displacement ventilation (TDV) is a unique system that saves
energy and, at the same time, improves indoor environmental quality of HVAC
systems in cooling applications. This presentation will give classification of
air distribution systems in terms of temperature and CO2 concentration;
it will describe fundamental differences between TDV and Mixing Ventilation. It
will explain how ASHRAE Standard 62.1-2010 impacts TDV system design and
describe benefits and limitations of TDV. It will also cover TDV performance
when space heating is provided by secondary heating systems and when
displacement diffusers are used for space heating in all-air systems.
