The primary use of the DFDB is calculating the requirements for commercial air handling units (AHUs) and fans. An accurate TSP calculation ensures that fans are neither undersized (leading to starving airflows) nor oversized (leading to excessive energy consumption, noise, and equipment costs). Value Engineering and Optimization
Designers often add arbitrary safety margins to compensate for uncertain manual calculations. Accurate software outputs allow engineers to specify smaller, less expensive fans. ashrae duct fitting database version. 6.00.05
