Some of this cost may be saved with the approval, engineering, and construction of the proposed system. To 65 deg. This reduces the effective cooling load in the conditioned space, allowing warmer air to condition the area. Pollutants are drawn up in a vertical plume to the ceiling rater than being swirled around with room air. The raised floor, with its modular panels, makes it easier to relocate diffusers, electrical wiring, communications cabling and even plumbing to accommodate changes in occupancy.
More walls mean less flexibility for the flooring system.
Other cost savings will have to offset this disadvantage. Occupants should be involved in the raised floor selection process and investment should be made in the most solid system possible. 5.8 Sharon Barnes asked for project examples. Charles indicated that the system has been in use in Europe for more than 10 years. Many projects exist in the United States and Canada.
