Manual G - Selection of Distribution Systems

A guide to selecting the most appropriate type of distribution system for a home or apartment building. Manual G Selection of Distribution Systems is a guide to selecting the most appropriate type of distribution system for a home or apartment building. From the Preface Selection of the best air distribution system is a critical step in achieving comfort air conditioning. The system must be selected from the standpoint of a number of factors; among them, the climatic zone, the type of structure, and conditions of occupancy. But proper selection of the system does not of itself automatically assure comfort air conditioning. A perimeter air-distribution system, for example, is an excellent choice for a structure in a northern climate, but this same system will prove completely unsatisfactory unless system components are selected and located to furnish proper air flow to the rooms. Thus, after selection, the system must be designed to do the job for which it is intended and finally, it must be installed in accordance with the design.
