ABSTRACT:
A modular, dual-purpose architectural assembly which can provide support for basic structural elements used in constructing semi-permanent, enclosed or partially enclosed partitions defining parochial work spaces within a room and which can also supply discretely controlled heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) service, on a parochial basis, to said work space in response to local needs and varying conditions. The assembly consists of an upright, rigid, portable, elongated column which can be releasably mounted to the floor or ceiling of a room and attached to a subsurface (i.e., below the floor or above the ceiling in the room) HVAC supply system, said column having an interior channel extending longitudinally therethrough for carrying fluid from an inlet port at the base end of said channel, which inlet port is releasably connected to said HVAC supply system. The HVAC fluid supplied to the column is carried through said channel to an exhaust port where it is vented to the immediate exterior of said column. The channel and the exhaust port include a means for discretely controlling the rate of exhaust (volume) and direction of flow of the HVAC fluid from the column. The subsurface HVAC supply system carries HVAC fluid from a remote generating source to the inlet port of the service column via a network of regional stationary ducts and a moveable duct adapted to be releasably connected to the inlet port of the column at a plurality of access points in the floor or ceiling throughout the room, this enabling one to locate the assembly at a variety of locations.
