Impact of poor terminal units design on occupant health: Case study

IMRANSHAIKH

Improper design of terminal units results in poor dehumidification as it supplies more air to the space than required and operates at higher off coil temperature to meet the sensible cooling demand of the space resulting in increased humidity in the space and can result in condensation which facilitates the mold/ mildew formation impacting thermal comfort and occupant health. This presentation will cover the following with the use of actual project case study:

• Criteria of how to correctly size the terminal units to prevent over cooling and humidity issues in the apartment bedrooms and hotel guestrooms.

• Common myths associated to oversized terminal units.

• Impacts of the oversized terminal

and room thermal

A Data Driven and People Centred Future

SHRIKANT SHARMA

Shrikant leads our Analytics team that offers innovative insights into how people interact with their surroundings, harnessing this insight to optimise the design and operational logistics for buildings and urban spaces. This “people-centered” design approach uses our insights into people’s behaviour, activities and journeys to maximise space utilisation, wayfinding, circulation efficiency, retail revenues, operational effectiveness, resilience, and ultimately visitor experience.

Shrikant is a leading consultant on people movement and has led and executed several major consultancy projects, in sectors ranging from masterplanning to detailed design of major exhibition and cultural events, airports, hospitals, and major transport hubs. He has a particular flair for communicating – in a visually engaging manner – the bottlenecks, risks and opportunities from existing or proposed spaces, and how they can be transformed into inspirational, safe and inclusive places.

Through the lens of multidisciplinary thinking, Shrikant has a particular focus on cutting edge research and development of sophisticated BIM-integrated modelling tools and emerging technologies for early stage design optioneering as well as real-time visualisation and predictive modelling.

The Smart Space team, founded by Shrikant in 2002, is pushing the boundaries of technological innovations in the industry, which is reflected in its suite of smart, intuitive, flexible and highly interactive software developed in-house. These include tools for rapid and real-time space analysis, integrated building modelling and optimisation, crowd flow simulations, automated sensing, live performance visualisation, and Big Data analytics.
