Expert Guidance on Cold-Climate Challenges
Planning and Operation of
Laboratory HVAC Systems 189.1-2014
Buildings in arctic and subarctic climates face unique challenges, not only the cold,
but also remoteness, limited utilities, permafrost, and extreme temperature shifts.
Built structures must meet these challenges while maintaining occupant comfort and, if

possible, minimizing impact on the environment. Harmonizing human comfort with the
climatic realities of these environments can be a delicate balancing act. Strategic design
is key to building, commissioning, and operating efficient and long-lasting cold-climate
structures. This unified guide to cold-climate design provides expert knowledge on the
issues commonly faced in arctic and subarctic climates.

In addition to cold-climate considerations in HVAC calculations and system design, this books ANSI/ASHRAE/USGBC/IES
chapters cover sustainability, controls, building design, and commissioning, all from this
distinctive climatic perspective. The book also includes an appendix with seven case
studies of buildings located in cold and extreme cold climates. These buildings are

District Heating Cold-Climate

Expert Guidance on Cold-Climate Challenges
Buildings in arctic and subarctic climates face unique challenges, not only the cold,
but also remoteness, limited utilities, permafrost, and extreme temperature shifts.

and Cooling Buildings

Built structures must meet these challenges while maintaining occupant comfort and, if
possible, minimizing impact on the environment. Harmonizing human comfort with the
climatic realities of these environments can be a delicate balancing act. Strategic design
is key to building, commissioning, and operating efficient and long-lasting cold-climate
structures. This unified guide to cold-climate design provides expert knowledge on the
issues commonly faced in arctic and subarctic climates.

In addition to cold-climate considerations in HVAC calculations and system design, this books

Guides Design Guide

chapters cover sustainability, controls, building design, and commissioning, all from this
distinctive climatic perspective. The book also includes an appendix with seven case
studies of buildings located in cold and extreme cold climates. These buildings are

leaders in their field with regard to both efficiency and cold-climate design.

Aimed at each member of the building team, from the designer and architect to the
commissioning authority, Cold-Climate Buildings Design Guide will serve as a valuable
resource from the initial planning to completion of cold-climate buildings.
