    Direct refrigerant systems are best for smaller structures like homes, while all air systems work well for buildings with low cooling needs. Air-water systems are more economical for tall buildings with large windows and high lighting. When comparing systems, factors like temperature, humidity, air movement, noise, and costs should be analyzed to select the best option for a particular building based on its height, shape, windows, energy loads, orientation, energy sources, installation, operating, space, and maintenance costs.

    FUNCTIONAL COMPARISON OF SYSTEMS

    1. Direct Refrigerant Systems are more suitable for use in smaller structures such as
    residences or small commercial establishments.
    2. All Air Systems are better suited for building having relatively low cooling load.
    Whereas tall buildings with large glass area and high lighting levels can be more
    economically served by some type of Air-Water Systems.
    3. From a functional point of view a single duct All-Air Cooling System is best
    however the best system for a particular application should be selected after
    analysis of all factors a) functional b) physical c) economic
    4. Functional factors which effect comfort are i) DBT ii)RH iii)AIR MOVEMENT iv)
    AIR CLEANLINESS v)ODOUR REMOVAL vi) NOISE vii) RADIATION EFFECTS
    5. Each system under consideration should be listed and given a comparative rating
    with respect to each of the above items.
    6. Other factors determining the best system for a specific building will include:
    i.

    Building height

    ii.

    Building configuration (shape)

    iii.

    Glass to wall surface ratio

    iv.

    Building loads (BTU/ft2)

    v.

    Building orientation

    vi.

    Energy availability

    vii.

    Installation costs

    viii.

    Operating costs

    ix.

    Space requirements

    x.

    Maintenance costs
