PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
INTRODUCTION
The human beings produce heat inside the room which leads to increase
in temperature inside the room and creation of uncomfortable conditions. As the
number of human beings inside the room increase, the total heat generated by the
human beings also increases. Comfort applications aim to offer a building indoor
environment that remains fairly constant in a variety favored by human
notwithstanding changes in external weather conditions or in internal heat loads.
Air-conditioning makes deep plan buildings possible for otherwise they ‘d have to
be build narrower or with light wells so that inner space receives sufficient outdoor
air via natural ventilation.
hazards can negatively affect students, particularly in schools with poor ventilation
systems.

Review of Related Literature
they save energy because of the low temperature difference between floor and
ceiling.
The indoor sports hall has become one of the favorite venues for sport
activities. Traditionally, sports in Australia has been an outdoor pastime. But in
recent times, an increased awareness of skin cancers and other health risks,
coupled with a broadening of the range of sports being played, has seen an
upsurge in indoor recreational pursuits and a trend towards multi-purpose
facilities. The growing desire for better indoor environmental quality in the indoor
sports centers has resulted in a marked increase in energy consumption in this
building sector. While current research on indoor environmental quality mainly
focuses on residences and offices, few studies are concerned with the indoor
environment of large enclosures. Studies regarding sports centers mainly deal
with ventilation issues in terms of energy cost and saving, while indoor air quality
is not directly addressed .Indoor air pollution profiles were assessed during three
concerts and one ice hockey game carried out in three different halls for
recreational activities in Switzerland. Sharp increases in pollution concentrations
were observed when visitors enter the halls and an exponential decrease in
concentration after the event has ended (Junker et. al., 2000). Studies conducted
by Chow et al. (2002) illustrated that many mechanical ventilation and air
conditioning systems in big halls were not designed properly, leading to lots of
complaints on poor ventilation performance. The amount of fresh air supplied to a
space was observed to be sufficient, but distribution of air was not considered
carefully. As a result, it was difficult to provide a comfortable thermal environment
with good indoor air quality,

Methodology
METHODOLOGY
The method or system that we used for this study is a Centralized Air
Conditioning System. To use Centralized Air Conditioning System for its
effectiveness in large-scale structures, cheaper cost for air conditioning a large
scale structure and its ability to properly filter the air within the structure. Central
Air Conditioning System is a great choice for general comfort and energy
efficiency. Multiple window units are definitely less efficient than a single, central
system that controls the entire building.
The Air Conditioning System that we used is Central Air Conditioners. This
type of air conditioning system circulate cool air through a system of supply and
return ducts. Supply ducts and registers (i.e., openings in the walls, floors, or
ceilings covered by grills) carry cooled air from the air conditioner to the home.
This cooled air becomes warmer as it circulates through the home; then it flows
back to the central air conditioner through return ducts and registers. To learn
how central air conditioners compare to other cooling system
almost any business or government agency has the potential to realize significant
savings by improving its control of HVAC operations and improving the efficiency
of the system it uses.
VENTILATION SYSTEM
A system that vary the amount of air supplied to a zone while holding the
supply air temperature constant. This strategy saves fan energy and uses less
reheat than in a CAV system. VAV systems, however, can have problems assuring
uniform space temperature at low airflow rates. At times, the minimum airflow
required for ventilation or for proper temperature control may be higher than is
required to meet the space load. When this occurs reheat may be required.

Design and Layouts
TYPE OF AC DESIGN
Packaged Central Air Conditioner
When installing a new central air conditioning system, be sure that your
contractor:
Ensures there are enough supply registers to deliver cool air and
enough return air registers to carry warm house air back to the air
conditioner
Installs duct work within the conditioned space, not in the attic,
wherever possible
Seals all ducts with duct mastic and heavily insulates attic ducts
Locates the condensing unit where its noise will not keep you or
your neighbors awake at night, if possible
Locates the condensing unit where no nearby objects will block
airflow to it
Verifies that the newly installed air conditioner has the exact
refrigerant charge and airflow rate specified by the manufacturer
Locates the thermostat away from heat sources, such as windows
or supply registers.
If you are replacing an older or failed split system, be sure that the
evaporator coil is replaced with a new one that exactly matches the condenser
coil in the new condensing unit
OPERATION
Central air conditioners circulate cool air through a system of supply and
return ducts. Supply ducts and registers (i.e., openings in the walls, floors, or
ceilings covered by grills) carry cooled air from the air conditioner to the home.
This cooled air becomes warmer as it circulates through the home; then it flows
back to the central air conditioner through return ducts and registers.
achieve a low humidity. Running a dehumidifier in your air conditioned home will
increase your energy use, both for the dehumidifier itself and because the air
conditioner will require more energy to cool your house. A preferable alternative
is a dehumidifying heat pipe, which can be added as a retrofit to most existing
systems
MAINTENANCE
An air conditioner's filters, coils, and fins require regular maintenance for
the unit to function effectively and efficiently throughout its years of service.
Neglecting necessary maintenance ensures a steady decline in air conditioning
performance while energy use steadily increases.
The most important maintenance task that will ensure the efficiency of
your air conditioner is to routinely replace or clean its filters. Clogged, dirty filters
block normal airflow and reduce a system's efficiency significantly. With normal
airflow obstructed, air that bypasses the filter may carry dirt directly into the
evaporator coil and impair the coil's heat-absorbing capacity. Replacing a dirty,
clogged filter with a clean one can lower your air conditioner's energy
consumption by 5% to 15%.
For central air conditioners, filters are generally located somewhere along
the return duct's length. Common filter locations are in walls, ceilings, furnaces,
or in the air conditioner itself. Room air conditioners have a filter mounted in the
grill that faces into the room.
Some types of filters are reusable; others must be replaced. They are
available in a variety of types and efficiencies. Clean or replace your air
conditioning system's filter or filters every month or two during the cooling
season. Filters may need more frequent attention if the air conditioner is in
constant use, is subjected to dusty conditions, or you have fur-bearing pets in the
house.
The air conditioner's evaporator coil and condenser coil collect dirt over
their months and years of service. A clean filter prevents the evaporator coil from
soiling quickly. In time, however, the evaporator coil will still collect dirt. This dirt
reduces airflow and insulates the coil, reducing its ability to absorb heat. To avoid
this problem, check your evaporator coil every year and clean it as necessary.
Outdoor condenser coils can also become very dirty if the outdoor
environment is dusty or if there is foliage nearby. You can easily see the
condenser coil and notice if dirt is collecting on its fins.
You should minimize dirt and debris near the condenser unit. Your dryer
vents, falling leaves, and lawn mower are all potential sources of dirt and debris.
Cleaning the area around the coil, removing any debris, and trimming foliage
back at least 2 feet (0.6 meters) allow for adequate airflow around the condenser.
Coil Fins
The aluminum fins on evaporator and condenser coils are easily bent and
can block airflow through the coil. Air conditioning wholesalers sell a tool called a
"fin comb" that will comb these fins back into nearly original condition.
Condensate Drains
Occasionally pass a stiff wire through the unit's drain channels. Clogged
drain channels prevent a unit from reducing humidity, and the resulting excess
moisture may discolor walls or carpet.
At the start of each cooling season, inspect the seal between the air
conditioner and the window frame to ensure it makes contact with the unit's metal
case. Moisture can damage this seal, allowing cool air to escape from your
house.
Hiring a Professional
When your air conditioner needs more than regular maintenance, hire a
professional service technician. A well-trained technician will find and fix
problems in your air conditioning system.

Conclusion, Recommendation and References
Conclusion
Recommendation
Central air conditioners are more efficient than room air conditioners it is
the best type of air conditioning used in large buildings like a Multi-Purpose
Building. In addition, they are out of the way, quiet, and convenient to operate. To
save energy and money, you should try to buy an energy-efficient air conditioner
and reduce your central air conditioner's energy use. In an average air-
conditioned building, air conditioning consumes more than 2,000 kilowatt-hours
of electricity per year, causing power plants to emit about 3,500 pounds of
carbon dioxide and 31 pounds of sulfur dioxide.
