UFAD guide : Design, Construction, and Operation of Underfloor Air Distribution Systems
UFAD guide : Design, Construction, and Operation of Underfloor Air Distribution Systems. The use of underfloor air distribution (UFAD) is increasing in North America as a solution to space conditioning concerns. This design guide provides assistance in the planning, construction, and operation of UFAD systems, while carefully detailing the major differences between UFAD and more traditional forms of space conditioning. UFAD GUIDE incorporates updated results from laboratory and field experiments as well as simulation studies, manufacturer’s literature, design experiences from practicing engineers, and relevant guidelines from users of UFAD. For those in the construction, building commissioning, and operations and maintenance industries, this design guide provides a wealth of information on an emerging technology, all while keeping in mind the typical flow of decision making.

ASHRAE, founded in 1894, is an international organization of some 50,000 persons. ASHRAE fulfills its mission of advancing heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration to serve humanity and promote a sustainable world through research, standards writing, publishing, and continuing education.
The ASHRAE Handbooks are the design standard for control of built environments with volumes on Systems and Equipment, HVAC Applications, Refrigeration and Fundamentals. Each is updated every four years. In addition to publishing design guidance for engineers, architects, and facility managers, we also publish a series of texts for classroom use.
