This case study examines two primary areas: energy consumption and thermal comfort in the Dining Room. We’re checking possible reasons for the high gas bills, and analyzing the heating system in the Dining Room. Along the way we’ll take a look at a very unusual and interesting HVAC system.

Counterclockwise from upper left: demonstration of the supply / return vent systeme which is typical of the rooms studied; HVAC team members (and visiting professor Walter Grondzik) staring lovingly into the boiler; the air supply (not to be confused with "Air Supply", everyone's favorite 80's rockers), HVAC team discussing who will be forced to live in the crawlspace for a week.
