The Quiz Before the AD Class

One thing I know about engineers. They love pop quizzes. Here’s some food for thought before our Air Distribution (AD) class on 03/03/26. Here’s a plaque diffuser. It’s a terrific general-purpose diffuser. 1. Here’s a directional diffuser. Does it perform any...
News Flash – Hot Air Still Rising, but Diffusers not Mixing

News Flash – Hot Air Still Rising, but Diffusers not Mixing

The video depicts a common phenomenon. Last I checked: Hot air still rises Engineers still prefer VAV systems VAVs in heating mode still limit air flow from 30-50% Is it really so shocking that typical diffusers don’t make spaces comfortable in heating mode? When’s...
My Air Distribution Conspiracy Theory

My Air Distribution Conspiracy Theory

Who doesn’t love a good conspiracy theory? Hear me out. Think about all the companies that you ever purchased or specified grilles and diffusers from. And think about where they came from. Titus? That’s Texas. Krueger? Funny, Texas again. Nailor? Guess What? Texas....
A New Date to Debunk Air Distribution.

A New Date to Debunk Air Distribution.

We’re adjusting our calendar so you don’t have to adjust yours. We learned the Wisconsin Code Refresher is happening February 16th-18th. To avoid the clash, we are moving Air Flow’s class back to March 3rd. If you already registered, you don’t need to do anything. If...
It’s not your fault  you stink at air distribution (AD).

It’s not your fault you stink at air distribution (AD).

Ouch, Tom, that was really mean. Yeah, well, it’s more of a reflection on Air Flow, and not you so much. You were never really taught AD. Sure, we’ve had classes that talked about AD, mostly when we were comparing it to displacement. This class could absolve you of...

Ring and Du Show Us How DV Gets Done

I wish you’d take my word on it that DV should be used more often. Maybe you’ll take theirs? Kirk, Staci, and Mike from Ring & DuChateau Consulting Engineers are Air Flow’s guest speakers for our displacement class. Each of them has designed and installed multiple...

100% of the Time, it Works 100% of the Time

For displacement, it just works. Even better than Sex Panther by Odeon. All the projects have worked great.  Waiting for you to come around. See you in class, tiger. You are invited to "Non-conformist Ventilation"This is an in-person class with an option for remote...
Do the Diffusers Need to be Mounted Low? Nah.

Do the Diffusers Need to be Mounted Low? Nah.

When you pick a ceiling or sidewall diffuser, the throw in heating and cooling mode changes due to buoyancy. You have to pull out the book, look at the flow, and look at the throw, to get the right neck size. Get that wrong, a draft is created, as is a call back for...
A Thermostat for All with Displacement

A Thermostat for All with Displacement

I think a solid gold thermostat would be amazing bling for these guys.  After all, they are storytellers.  Wouldn’t it be cool if we all could take our thermostats with us?  Temp control wherever we go.  DJ Khaled probably runs a bit hot, being a big guy.  Snoop, on...
