I have been working on Design Build multi-family and lodging facilities for a number of years and the issue of where to terminate the supply air in bedrooms always comes up. Some of our consulting ME's are insistent on terminating the supply near the windows, while others are a lot less concerned about it. I always thought the old school way of thinking was windows were drafty/leaky and you needed the air supply to terminate there to account for this.
This topic comes up at just about every Constructibility and VE meeting. Ten feet of duct is not a big deal, but 10' x No. of bedrooms x no. of units adds up on large projects.
Thanks in advance for any input on this.
