Through the Dina Spring Animal Shelter case study, Mike Scofield analyses the benefits of under floor systems compared to overhead systems, such as the flexibility for tenant changes, the lower fan pressure loss and the reduced fan energy. Moreover, he discusses evaporative cooling design, which allows building peak electrical demand to be reduced by 20 – 30%.
