Wilson, Maurice J. – Actual Specifying Engineer, 1963
There are many reasons for air-conditioning schools and among them are--(1) the improvement of learning and teaching efficiency, (2) effective use of the educational plant for a greater part of the year, and (3) more efficient use of space through compact building design. Five climate control techniques are cited as providing optimum…

Little, Philip F. – Actual Specifying Engineer, 1963
Several types of refrigeration systems available to the consulting engineer are discussed. The engineer should analyze all energy sources and base his recommendations on comparative costs and availability of sources, keeping in mind that operating costs are of primary importance to schools. The analysis begins with a careful appraisal of the…

Wheeler, Arthur E. – 1996
Fans, motors, coils, and other control components enable a heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system to function smoothly. An explanation of these control components and how they make school HVAC systems work is provided. Different systems may be compared by counting the number of controlled devices that are required. Control…

Wheeler, Arthur E.; Kunz, Walter S., Jr. – 1994
Although poor air quality in a school can have multiple causes, the heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system plays a major role. Suggestions that architects, facilities managers, school board members, and administrators can use in selecting HVAC systems are discussed. Focus is on the performance criteria for classroom systems, and…

Wheeler, Arthur E. – 1995
To help maintain good indoor air quality (IAQ) in schools, guidance for the development and implementation of an effective program for maintenance and operation of heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems are discussed. Frequently, a building's occupants will complain about IAQ when the temperature or humidity are at uncomfortable…
