    The key takeaways from the document are the different ductwork design materials, ductwork considerations like shape, size and aspect ratio, and the different types of air distribution systems like above ceiling, displacement and underfloor systems.

    The three main types of air distribution systems discussed are above ceiling distribution, displacement ventilation and underfloor air distribution systems.

    Some advantages of displacement ventilation discussed are low velocity air delivery to the comfort zone without mixing, better indoor air quality and being very quiet.

    DISPLACEMENT VENTILATION

    Thermal Displacement Ventilation


    is based upon natural air movement
    Specially designed displacement
    diffusers are strategically placed
    within the occupied zone.
    Depending on application, supply
    air is delivered at between 55 F and
    65 F.
    Generally, the closer occupants are
    to the diffuser, the higher the
    discharge temperature
