Heating and ventilation
Context: describing an air vent, the text says:
"puo essere installato anche in orrizontale a parete o a veletta"
The client's explanation was:
"termine architettonico che indica un rilassamento tra il soffitto e la parete che nasconde, ad esempio, un canale d’aria".
I have no idea what it means and research on the Internet has yielded nothing. I'm sure this is one of those things you either know or don't know.

Took me a while..this was a tough one
from wikipedia..
Plenums in buildings are enclosed spaces that are not for human occupancy, but are often used for heating, ventilating, and/or air-conditioning equipment and airflow, and for other equipment such as cables, piping, and luminaires. 'Plenum boxes' or sections are portions of HVAC air handlers or terminal units.
