Description
This module explores the fundamentals of modern air curtain design, focusing on the critical balance between performance, energy savings, and acoustic comfort. Learners will discover what separates a highly effective air curtain from one that is ultimately turned off by occupants due to loud noise or uncomfortable air blasts. The course examines the three primary barriers air curtains create and details how these systems protect valuable conditioned air to reduce wear on primary HVAC equipment.

Objectives
- Identify the three main types of environmental barriers provided by effective air curtains: wind resistance, thermal separation, and the blocking of environmental contaminants like insects or odors.
- Analyze the essential airstream parameters (velocity, air volume (CFM), and stream uniformity) that define the strength and consistency of an air curtain's seal.
- Select appropriate air curtain designs for specific real-world applications by balancing performance with noise reduction, ensuring occupant comfort and preventing system override
