SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
THERMAL COMFORT DESIGN

Usage of the entire building is primarily in terms of office space. The office area consists of both open workstations and
cabins which have sparsely populated. The normal office is spread over Ground, First and Second floor.

Since city of Noida has primarily hot & dry climate round the year with few days of mild winter, hence special emphasis is PATNI CAMPUS AT NOIDA
laid in air-conditioning system design for cooling of various spaces. For few days of winter heating, electric tubular heaters
are installed in the air handling unit. Lastly, leaving chilled water temperature from chilling machines has been selected at
6.66 deg C to ensure that inside design conditions of 23+ 1 deg C and RH not exceeding 60% are achieved round the
year. In addition, PAN type humidifiers (of stainless steel construction) have also been provided with each air handling unit
to control over relative humidity. OWNER
PATNI COMPUTERS
Each floor have been provided with an individual air handling unit consisting of supply air fans (with VAV Boxes in fresh
air), cooling coil section, stainless steel double sloping drain pan and filter section.

The cooling coils of all air handling units are provided with motorized automatic control & balancing valves. Space
temperature and relative humidity monitoring for each floor is carried out through sensors located in the return air stream
of each air handling unit. These sensors report to an advanced building management system which in turn controls the
motorized control valves thereby throttling the flow of chilled water to the coil of each air handling unit.
