Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 12 page paper reviewing HVAC operation and discussing the use of variable speed drives (VSDs) and the centrifugal fan with inlet vanes. Either approach can result in energy and cost savings over time, and the type of fan present at the outset can affect the choice of approach to saving energy. It does seem that VSDs represent the future of retrofitting to gain greater efficiencies, but there are some fan types that cannot make use of the VSD. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

Unformatted sample text from the term paper:
universally in developed countries, the days of commercial buildings without mechanical ventilation were over long ago. Even the "green" movement that seeks to move away from total reliance on
fuel-based heating and air conditioning still requires ventilation based on forced-air systems. These same developed countries - particularly the United States - are
under increasing pressure to be more responsible in their use of electricity and the fuels used to generate it. Though "green" buildings can be expected to increase in number
and significance in the future, price increases for electricity and its precursor fuels can be expected to increase more rapidly. The basic premise of air conditioning and forced-air systems
is an old concept; that of greater efficiency is much newer. HVAC Operation The heating component of heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC)
was the first to be widely used, of course. Central residential systems are much more efficient and present far less work than in the days when every room of
a house had its own fireplace. Commercial buildings and high-rise apartments all had boiler systems in their basements, which heated water that was then sent in the form of
steam through a maze of pipes throughout the building. Boilers still are in use in many instances, but other approaches have become far more popular in recent decades.
In the early days, heating was ambient. Steam from the remote boiler coursed through the coils of radiators located in individual rooms, releasing
its heat into the metal of the radiators which then released their heat into the room in which they were located. Forced air heat placed a fan behind heating
