Advantages :
1. The systems serve single zones; therefore,
simultaneous heating and cooling is usually
eliminated.
2. Heating or cooling can be provided to individual
zones having different operating hours than the
remainder of building zones.
3. Each building zone can have different operating
temperatures and humidity conditions, with no effect
on other zones.
4. Simple operation.
Disadvantages :
1. Cooling and heating equipment has a much poorer
coefficient of performance (COP) or energy efficient
ratios (EER) than central cooling or heating equipment.
2. Generally air-cooled or water cooled economizers are not
provided with this type of equipment.
3. These systems generally cannot adequately dehumidify
or filter outdoor air.
4. Normal temperature control of these systems will result in
poor space humidity control if outdoor air is introduced to
these systems.
5. These systems, which are through the wall or window
systems, provide poor ventilation effectiveness to the
space.

IAQ = P1 + P2 + P3
(P1) People
Engineers can design ventilation rates, filtration levels,
humidity, and temperature controls for the building that they
know will satisfy most of the people most of the time.
(P2) Pathways
VentilationInterruptions or reductions in the delivery of clean
outdoor air can result in incre.ased levels of airborne pollutants.
TemperatureVariability in indoor temperature usually does not
cause IAQ problems, although it can play a significant role in
occupants perceptions of indoor air quality.
HumidityProlonged elevated humidity in buildings can result
in mold growth.
(P3) Pollutants
ParticulatesParticles dispersed in the air are referred to as
aerosols.
Bioaerosolsare airborne particles with a biological origin.
They include viruses, bacteria, fungal spores (mold), pollen, and
animal dander.
Gases and VaporsThe gaseous class covers airborne
chemical contaminants. They can exist as gases that are
naturally gaseous under ambient conditions.
Outdoor Air Contaminantsinclude both natural and man-
made impurities.
Indoor Air ContaminantsIndoor air pollutant sources include
people (carbon monoxide, tobacco smoke), building products
(volatile organic compounds, formaldehyde),etc.
