S05 -- In-Room Terminal Systems (SI)

Very early in the design process, the HVAC design engineer must analyze and ultimately select appropriate systems, as discussed in Chapter 1. Next, production of heating and cooling is selected as decentralized (see Chapter 2) or centralized (see Chapter3). Finally, distribution of heating and cooling to the end-use space can be done by an all-air system (see Chapter 4), or a variety of all-water or air-water systems and local terminals, as discussed in this chapter.
