20140370800 | AIR DISTRIBUTION METHOD - The present invention relates to an improved method of distributing fresh air into a building. The method comprises the steps of providing the fresh air; subjecting the fresh air to pre-cooling; channeling the pre-cooled fresh air into an air conditioning unit; and transferring the fresh air into the building's rooms. The fresh air displaces air within the rooms, which is exhausted out of the building without being channeled back to the cycle. The present invention aims to distribute fresh air into the building using an open air cycle to improve the indoor air quality (IAQ) at less energy consumption. | 12-18-2014 |
