HVAC

A register is a grill with moving parts, capable of being

opened and closed and the air flow directed, which is part of a
building's heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC)
system. The placement and size of registers is critical to
HVAC efficiency. Register dampers are also important, and
can serve a safety function.
A register differs from a grille in that a damper is included.
A damper is a valve or plate that stops or regulates the flow of
air inside a duct, chimney, VAV box, air handler, or other air
handling equipment.
A grille is a perforated cover for an air duct (used for heating,
cooling, or ventilation, or a combination thereof). Grilles
sometimes have louvers which allow the flow of air to be
directed.
A louver is a window blind or shutter with horizontal slats that
are angled to admit light and air, but to keep out rain, direct
sunshine, and noise. The angle of the slats may be
adjustable, usually in blinds and windows, or fixed.

Variable Air Volume (VAV) is a type of heating, ventilating,

and/or air-conditioning (HVAC) system. Unlike constant air
volume (CAV) systems, which supply a constant airflow at a
variable temperature, VAV systems vary the airflow at a
constant temperature. The advantages of VAV systems over
constant-volume systems include more precise temperature
control, reduced compressor wear, lower energy consumption
by system fans, less fan noise, and additional passive
A turnstile, also called a baffle gate or waist high turnstyle,
is a form of gate which allows one person to pass at a time. It
can also be made so as to enforce one-way traffic of people,
and in addition, it can restrict passage only to people who
insert a coin, a ticket, a pass, or similar.

The top 3 baseboard trim materials are wood,

plastic and vinyl. The baseboard trim finish provides a
decorative finish for a room and a way to conceal the
uneven ends of flooring when it meets a wall.
