"Big Ass Fans can eliminate stratification, which can help increase breathing zone outdoor air ventilation rates. For high supply air dry bulb overhead systems, ASHRAE Standard 62.1-2010 only allows credit for 80% of the ventilation supplied to the space (since some of the ventilation will bypass the breathing zone). By providing a well mixed space, this penalty should no longer apply and the amount of ventilation can be reduced." |
