Space-conditioning systems for residential use vary with both
local and application factors. Local factors include energy source availability
(present and projected) and price; climate; socioeconomic circumstances; and
availability of installation and maintenance skills. Application factors
include housing type, construction characteristics, and building codes. As a
result, many different systems are selected to provide combinations of heating,
cooling, humidification, dehumidification, ventilation, and air filtering. This
chapter emphasizes the more common systems for space conditioning of both
single-family (i.e., traditional site-built and modular or manufactured homes)
and multifamily residences. Low-rise multi-family buildings generally follow
single-family practice because constraints favor compact designs; HVAC systems
in high-rise apartment, condominium, and dormitory buildings are often of
commercial types similar to those used in hotels. Retrofit and remodeling construction
also adopt the same systems as those for new construction, but site-specific
circumstances may call for unique designs.
