Einar K. Frobom, PE, MBA; is the Director of Sales and Marketing for Carson Solutions. His office is located in Minneapolis, MN. With over twenty-five years of HVAC related experience, Einar's involvement ranges from custom air handler design incorporating concepts such as air-to-air energy recovery, moisture transfer media, complex custom refrigeration systems, and enhanced IAQ solutions and DOAS systems. In his current role he is promoting the system benefits of quiet, efficient displacement ventilation combined with active chilled beam technology. Einar holds the following degrees: Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering and a Masters of Business Administration, both from the University of Minnesota. He is also a licensed Professional Engineer within the state of Minnesota.

With much attention being given to HVAC systems and its impact on disease transmission, the importance of proper ventilation design and contaminant removal cannot be overstated.

Types of Air Distribution:

                                                         i.      Nearly all schools currently use the mixed-airflow method for distribution and dilution of the air within the occupied space. Designers should investigate a method called vertical displacement ventilation or thermal displacement ventilation. This approach successfully uses natural convection forces to reduce fan energy and carefully lift air contaminants up and away from the breathing zone.

This presentation will clarify design concepts between the predominant ventilation types and the expound upon the operational characteristics of displacement ventilation. By applying thermal displacement ventilation in occupied space such as classrooms, designers, architects and owners will recognize the following:

Improved IAQ through increased ventilation effectiveness (contaminant removal effectiveness) as defined in ASHRAE 62.1-2019

• Improved thermal comfort for students and staff
• Improved acoustics due to no additional air moving devices in the zone
• Decreased maintenance due to no moving parts in the zone
