Project:   Avilla Public Library

Location:    Noble County, Indiana

Feature:      Project involved the construction of a new branch library.  BCCLT, Inc. design utilizes an accessible raised floor for a displacement ventilation
system.  The displacement ventilation system provides a high ventilation effectiveness.  The cooler supply air “displaces” the warmer room air, creating a zone of fresh, cool air at the occupied level.  Heat and contaminants produced by activities in the space rise to the ceiling where they are removed from the space.  The air leaving the space has a higher temperature and higher contaminant concentration than the room air.
