semitunde:The school wouldn't on its own have embarked on the building because it's unnecessary: It's being built by the CBN. |

EgunMogaji: I believe you have a working device that is connected the internet, do some research and stop asking silly question. |
Re: Why Not A Central AC System? (Photos} by Nobody: 8:28am On Apr 27, 2016 |
martinsaba: Ditto. But unlike you I have unlimited data and probably why you're not able to do the proper research on your end So I take it that you lack the depth to provide data to backup your claim then. |

engrdubem: ^^^ Right on the money! [s] Lets say you have a 6 bedrooms house with 3 living rooms and you want a regular split AC in the bedrooms and maybe a Stand alone in the living rooms, you will need maybe 3 giant Micano to power all your AC's. Why because your N2m generator can only power one stand alone(8HP) and maybe 4 the bedrooms too. You will need something like 50 KVA generator to do this, not to talk about the the money for fuel. To power all the stand alone you will probably need 3x50 KVA gen. Now imagine a central HVAC with a 1000 BTU (or 100 HP) when there's no electricity supply?[/s] NOTE : sorry I'm not an expert I stand corrected. |

Re: Why Not A Central AC System? (Photos} by Originalsly: 10:24am On Apr 27, 2016 |
I guess central air is not an option mainly because of unstable electricity supply. In trying to transfer what is done in the US to Nigeria we need to consider that in the US the supply of electricity is reliable, cheap and the current is stable....does not fluctuate. How long would the motors stand up to Nigeria's erratic and unstable current supply?....and what happens when the motor is down?...how quickly can that be fixed?.... generators yes...would they be cost effective? I still wonder why architects keep using cold climate model buildings designed to trap heat instead of using designs that allow for natural air ventilation especially when they know the power supply problem. Looking at the pictures I'm still scratching my head trying to figure out if the ac units were an after thought and just stuck in the walls by novices... or that was part of the building plans. |

It's very simple, a Central HVAC is most cost effective and each room can have it's own thermostat regulator in adjusting the temperature, looking at the building alone, you might say it's not done by a Chartered Architect. We are fond of asking a draftsman to handle the job of an architect , just to reduce cost, it's a poor design, i must say.. Clearly i did d math now, and the energy consumption of the building alone is not funny. # Work with Professionals like certified Int'l & National body members, if you need a good job.. 1 Like |

tutu28:its not an old system, its only expensive and the maintenance cost is high. u can check out all shoprites across the country and also big buildings they use this hvac system. |

domack99: but once one outdoor gets damaged it doesn't just affect a person... it affect the whole rooms ventilated at a time... I think they are more suitable for offices not residents |

Originalsly: exactly!!! such thoughts come to my brain too especially when I'm faced with the problem of repairing a split unit hunged on the building just outside where there is no space for maitenance, this mistakes occurs in most buildings I've seen. |

msogunro: You are not serious. Even at your analogy, it would still be more cost efficient to use one bus for all journeys, instead of having 5 different cars go to Ghana, another 5 different cars go South Africa and another 5 different ......and so on. Or you don't know the difference in meaning between "cost efficiency" and "inconvenience/comfortability"? 1 Like |

l suggested for an 11 floor hotel; but Oga said that, "if a room need repair, others can work and we may repair a room's AC; but if it is central system and it needs repair, all hotel will be effected; and life term of things are short in Nigeria because of power supply problems. 1 Like |

tsdarkside: I did. My main house that's under construction has a 500 square feet internal courtyard with an open roof. I'll consider it a major failure in design if I install any HVAC system in it. It's a solar powered design and will have whole house fans in it. We can't blame it all on architects, homeowners need to step up to the plate too. 1 Like

EgunMogaji: I suspect you derive online, some sense of self worth that you have never gotten in real life. You really need to get a life. Childishly quoting people's monikers here to elicit some sort of mob reaction won't help you. Wallowing in a juvenile " we know ourselves" online self-importance won't help you in real life. I hope for those people's career that they've not formed a group with you. Tell me you relationship with mechanical engineering that makes you an authority on HVAC. Posting easily gotten Google pics isn't same as credence in technical issues, apply wisdom, keep quiet next time. P.s. I also studied Mechanical Engineering.
