Lower Raised Floor Heights Lowering the raised floor height improves walk ability and reduces the sound reverberation sometimes heard while walking on raised floors.
When Air Zone Column Units are utilized and located correctly in the space, it is now possible to design an underfloor air system with a raised floor as low as 6”-8”. At such floor heights, because we desire to not exceed discharge velocities of 1,000 ft/min, the maximum CFM unit that we would use in this case is about 10,000 cfm with a 3-way discharge. At these reduced floor heights, it now becomes viable to utilize UFAD in existing building renovations. Lowering the raised floor height improves walk ability and reduces the sound reverberation sometimes heard while walking on raised floors. For more information on studies done using UFAD in lower floor heights, please visit: http://www.cbe.berkeley.edu/research/pdf_files/Bauman1999_howLow.pdf
