Redesigning Mechanical Systems for Clemson University’s Advance Material Research Laboratory

This presentation discusses the redesign of mechanical systems, including Dedicated Outdoor Air System (DOAS) with integrated active chilled beams, for Clemson University’s Advance Material Research Laboratory. The goal is to optimize ventilation and reduce energy consumption. The presentation also covers existing conditions, construction effects, and conclusions.
