Comparison of Year Round Energy Performance with Different Ventilation Methods for ACMV Systems in the Tropics

Ventilation methods in Malaysia has become obsolete, the usage of mixing ventilation is no longer feasible as it consumes too much energy. The usage of displacement ventilation only applies to large buildings. Stratum ventilation is the solution for minimizing energy usage while being applicable to...

Comparison of Year Round Energy Performance with Different Ventilation Methods for ACMV Systems in the Tropics
description Ventilation methods in Malaysia has become obsolete, the usage of mixing ventilation is no longer feasible as it consumes too much energy. The usage of displacement ventilation only applies to large buildings. Stratum ventilation is the solution for minimizing energy usage while being applicable to smaller buildings. Stratum ventilation is expected to have a significant impact on the HVAC community in Malaysia as it will phase out the mixing ventilation. China and Hong Kong have come to embrace the usage of stratum ventilation in their seasonal country. This study will compare the year round energy performance for different ventilation methods in a tropical country. The goal in mind is to evaluate the performance of the stratum ventilation in a tropical country. The grounds of INTl International University will be testing platform for this ventilation.
