Question 461General Subjects - Assistant Engineer

The correct answer is A) A variable air volume system. A variable air volume (VAV) system is characterized by poor air distribution and ventilation, as well as low system heat loads. In a VAV system, the airflow is varied to meet the cooling or heating demands of the different zones, which can result in uneven air distribution and insufficient ventilation in some areas. Additionally, VAV systems are typically designed for low-load applications, such as office buildings, where the heating and cooling requirements are relatively modest. The other options are incorrect because: B) A single zone system has a simple design with good air distribution, C) A dual duct system has separate warm and cool air ducts for better air distribution, and D) A terminal reheat system uses a central air handler with individual zone reheat coils, which can provide better air distribution and ventilation.
