  2. Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heating,_ventilation,_and...

    Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) is the use of various technologies to control the temperature, humidity, and purity of the air in an enclosed space. Its goal is to provide thermal comfort and acceptable indoor air quality .

  3. Heating system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heating_system

    A heating system is a mechanism for maintaining temperatures at an acceptable level; by using thermal energy within a home, office, or other dwelling. Typically, these systems are a crucial part of an HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) system.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_automation

    Building automation (BAS), also known as building management system (BMS) or building energy management system (BEMS), is the automatic centralized control of a building's HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning), electrical, lighting, shading, access control, security systems, and other interrelated systems. Some objectives of building ...

  6. Ventilative cooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventilative_cooling

    Ventilative cooling is the use of natural or mechanical ventilation to cool indoor spaces. [1] The use of outside air reduces the cooling load and the energy consumption of these systems, while maintaining high quality indoor conditions; passive ventilative cooling may eliminate energy consumption.

  7. HVAC control system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HVAC_control_system

    HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) equipment needs a control system to regulate the operation of a heating and/or air conditioning system. [1] Usually a sensing device is used to compare the actual state (e.g. temperature) with a target state. Then the control system draws a conclusion what action has to be taken (e.g. start the ...

  8. Room air distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Room_air_distribution

    Displacement ventilation systems supply air directly to the occupied zone.The air is supplied at low velocities to cause minimal induction and mixing. This system is used for ventilation and cooling of large high spaces, such as auditorium and atria, where energy may be saved if only the occupied zone is treated rather than trying to control the conditions in the entire space.

  9. Radiant heating and cooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiant_heating_and_cooling

    Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems require a control system to supply heating or cooling to a space. The control strategies applied depend on the type of HVAC system used, and these strategies ultimately determine the system’s energy consumption. [ 25 ]
