A Novel Procedure to Determine Optimal Air Static Pressure Set-points and Reset Schedules in VAV Air Handling Units
Abstract
Air static pressure set-point or schedule for VAV
AHLJ systems is one of the most crucial
operational parameters for satisfy lug the building
load, maintaining the room comfort level and
saving energy costs. This paper presents a novel
procedure and method, which can be applied to
determine the optimal air static pressure set-point
for VAV AHUs with both stand-alone
controllers and DDC controllers. This procedure
provides a simple, fast and a non-intrusive way
to obtain the optimal or improved operational
schedules without interrupting normal operation
of the systems and without detailed simulation.
An application example is also presented in this
paper.
