Similar to the experience of Joe about China, fan coil based system are quite popular in India too, but, except for the green building community, not many people are using DOAS. Rather, I would say, not many people are aware about importance of the same. <br>

<p><font size="2">Adding a personal note on the fan-coil units and DOAS - in the office I was previously in I setup a occupant survey when we were in the process to attain LEED Silver certification (we go it!). The office was in a 20 some floor office tower with fan coils on the perimeter for the envelope load, the interior was arranged as an open office space and served by 8 VAV boxes. This office had almost no complaints from any occupants in the open offices. The majority of thermal comfort / acoustic complaints were from individuals seated in the individual office suites at the core of the building (where they had no control of their environment). </font><br>
<br>
<font size="2">The office also had blinds to block solar radiation that occupants could choose to use - and everyone did. Also we ended up purchasing small desk fans and a few Herman Miller C2 personal comfort devices for occupants in the offices to provide them a level of individual control. This could be called points-chasing but everyone appreciated the devices and was happy. The Herman Miller C2 devices can be used for heating and cooling - or if you place your computer with the business end facing towards you (like I do) you have a free 400W heater. </font><br>
