   A thermostat is a system that monitors and regulates a heating or cooling system. It can be used to set the desired temperature at which it keeps the environment either heated or cooled. two-stage (cooling and heating) A two-stage air conditioner is designed to operate on high and low settings during different weather conditions and seasons.

3. Variable air volume - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_air_volume

   Variable air volume (VAV) is a type of heating, ventilating, and/or air-conditioning system. Unlike constant air volume (CAV) systems, which supply a constant airflow at a variable temperature, VAV systems vary the airflow at a constant or varying temperature.

4. Heat recovery ventilation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_recovery_ventilation

   Diagramatic operation of a thermal wheel Ljungström air preheater by Swedish engineer Fredrik Ljungström (1875–1964). A thermal wheel, also known as a rotary heat exchanger, or rotary air-to-air enthalpy wheel, energy recovery wheel, or heat recovery wheel, is a type of energy recovery heat exchanger positioned within the supply and exhaust air streams of air-handling units or rooftop ...

5. Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning - Wikipedia

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

   Air handling unit, used for heating, cooling, and filtering the air. Air cleaning and filtration removes particles, contaminants, vapors and gases from the air. The filtered and cleaned air then is used in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning. Air cleaning and filtration should be taken in account when protecting our building environments ...

6. Newton's law of cooling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_law_of_cooling

   The law holds well for forced air and pumped liquid cooling, where the fluid velocity does not rise with increasing temperature difference. Newton's law is most closely obeyed in purely conduction-type cooling. However, the heat transfer coefficient is a function of the temperature difference in natural convective (buoyancy driven) heat transfer.

7. 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.
