An Integrated Air Handling Unit System for Large Commercial Buildings
Abstract
This paper presents an integrated air handling
unit system (OAHU) for large commercial buildings.
The system introduces outside air into the interior
section and circulates the return air to the exterior
section. Detailed analytical models are developed to
compare the energy performance and indoor air
quality between the OAHU and conventional AHU
systems (single AHU). The OAHU uses significantly
less energy than the conventional system in both
winter and summer. The OAHU also provides better
indoor air quality for the interior zone.
