Displacement Ventilation System
Air Handling Units and Heat Recovery
Fresh air and displacement ventilation air will be provided using a central air handling unit (AHU);
AHU will include a LTHW preheat coil for frost protection, heating and cooling coil for conditioning
the air, an enthalpy wheel for heat and moisture recovery and bag and panel filters for filtration.

Trench heating
In addition to the displacement system, trench heating will be applied under large glazing to
keep them warm and prevent downdrafts. The LTHW for this system will be produced using
the district heating network.
Humidification
Adiabatic humidifiers are applied for this project, which "atomize" water into very small
droplets which remain in suspension until evaporate into the air stream in the AHU.
