Many factors need to be considered before making the final decision about the heat- and/or cooling load, which terminal units to use, how to generate heating or cooling and a hundred other things. This application guide is developed to help you make some of these decisions by showing the consequences of certain choices. For example, it could be tempting to go for the lowest initial cost (CAPEX) but often there would be compromises on other factors, like the energy consumption or the Indoor Air Quality (IAQ).
