Austral HVAC builds to-scale airflow models so building owners can see exactly how conditioned air will move through a space before a single unit is installed.
Project: 435 × 186 ft production warehouse (Bastrop, TX)
For a ~80,900 sq ft high-bay warehouse (50 ft eave / 55 ft ridge) with three existing HVLS fans, we compared three cooling strategies and modeled each one to the building’s real dimensions.
Recommended — Option C: floor-level, 4-way distribution
Three 25-ton Trane Odyssey™ split systems (R-454B, Symbio™ controls) with Advantage SF4W-6 four-way drop-box diffusers, installed at floor level 60 ft off the left wall.
Cool air is kept in the occupied zone (≤7 ft) where people work — warm air stays stratified above, so you don’t pay to cool the 50 ft height.
Four-way diffusers create overlapping coverage circles → continuous cooling along the full 435 ft length.
Conditions roughly one-quarter of the air volume of a ceiling-distributed system.
The office area along the right wall is served by its own independent HVAC.
