Hydronic Balancing to Achieve Optimum Indoor Climate Control

摘要

The symptoms of indoor climate problems within buildings usually surface as complaints from building tenants. The living or working spaces are too cold in winter, too hot in summer-or some combination of both extremes year-round. In response to these temperature variations, building occupants often compensate by using space heaters, opening windows and adjusting thermostat settings. There are certain adjustments that can be made to the HVAC system to correct these issues. These could include the installation of larger pumps, the resizing of components, the changing of night setback and morning start-up times, and flow adjustments in mains, branch lines, and circuits.
