INTRODUCTION

 H.V.A.C – Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning

system
 The HVAC regulates:
 Room Temperature
 Humidity
 Air Quality
 Air Flow
What is HVAC?

 Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning (HVAC)

equipment perform heating and/or cooling for
residential, commercial or industrial buildings.
 The HVAC system may also be responsible for
providing fresh outdoor air to dilute interior airborne
contaminants such as odors from occupants, volatile
organic compounds (VOC’s) emitted from interior
furnishings, chemicals used for cleaning, etc.
 A properly designed system will provide a comfortable
indoor environment year round when properly
maintained.
 PROPAGATION MODEL

 The HVAC channel like all other wave-guides is a linear

channel and therefore can be completely characterised by its
frequency response or transfer function.
 To design a wireless HVAC system, an analytic model is
necessary.
EXPERIMENTAL VERIFICATION

 To validate the propagation model already described,

verification of the frequency response has to be done
experimentally.
 Measurements were performed on a straight section of a
circular HVAC duct 30.5 cm in diameter made of
galvanized steel.
DISCUSSION

 A promising use of the HVAC communication channel is

providing high speed network access to the offices in a
large building.
 The HVAC channel is practical and economically viable
since it uses an already existing infrastructure.
 The capacity of this channel depends on the coherence
bandwidth.
RESEARCH ISSUES

 Characterization of the RF channel

 Coupling into multimode ducts
 Mode conversion and cross polarization in multimode
ducts
 Power division at branches and tees
 Coupling around obstructions
Benefits of HVAC System

1. Conserves energy: While the first investment for getting

a good HVAC system might be much higher as compared
to the standard gas furnace, the long-lasting advantages
are visible every month.
2. Better air quality: The quality of indoor air is much
worse in contrast with outdoor air since indoor air
circulation is congested.
3. Regulates moisture: Whether you are living in a place
where climate changes every three months or in an area
where climate remains constant, moisture retention is a
common problem.
 CONCLUSTION

 This paper presents a new technique for high speed

communication inside buildings which seems to a viable
inexpensive alternative to other existing “last mile”
technologies.
 Because existing infrastructure is used and the ducts exhibit
losses that are low compared with direct propagation and
leaky coax, such a system has the potential to be lower in cost
and more efficient than either conventional method.
