Air Distribution OverviewAir Distribution Systems bring conditioned (heated and cooled) air to people occupying a building, and therefore directly affect occupant comfort.
8.2 Air-Handling System Types There are two types of air-handling systems: constant volume (CV) and variable air volume (VAV). In a CV system, a constant amount of air flows through the system whenever it is on. A VAV system changes the amount of airflow in response to changes in the heating and cooling load.
