Office - low airflow options
Office - low airflow options
(OP)
I'm working on a revision to a dean's office at a local campus. The main air handler is a CV unit with no excess capacity. The new office layout will require additional cooling airflow than originally designed. What are my options to improve this situation? A fan-powered box would draw warm air from the plenum and probably not help with cooling. An inline booster fan may work, but would 'steal' supply air from other branches on the main duct. Any ideas on other options?
Thanks in advance.

The ductless suggestions are also good.
My additional two cents
You can re-sheave the CV fan for more airflow if your coil is sized for less than 500 fpm. You may be able to increase your CV system capacity, and rebalance the system. You can increase airflow thru the coil up to 500 fpm
My other three cents
You can lower SA temperature a couple of degrees or more (say from 55/56 to 53) and you may get enough capacity for your space, re-balance entire system of course.

- is there any load reduction in other parts of the building due to this renovation?
