UFAD (underfloor air distribution) is an innovative air distribution approach that is growing in popularity amongst commercial architects and mechanical engineers. Because of its cost-effectiveness, design flexibility, and energy efficiency, it is quickly becoming a preferred solution for heating and cooling office buildings — for both new constructions, and renovations.
Unlike overhead VAV systems, underfloor air distribution systems are designed to work with the laws of physics — not against them. In a UFAD system, conditioned air is supplied through floor diffusers instead of ceiling diffusers.
