Evaluation of Energy Conservation Measures by Model Simulation
Abstract
Numerous energy conservation
measures are being implemented into the air
handler units of today's commercial buildings.
The economizer cycle has proven potential, and
has become increasingly more common. Work
has also been done demonstrating that hot and
cold deck reset schedules, optimized according
to outside air temperature, can result in
significant energy savings. This paper presents a
case study of these energy conservation control
schemes in a dual duct VAV building on the
Texas A&M campus in College Station, the
Harrington Education Tower. The current
system was simulated and the model used to
investigate the effects of economizer cycles and
optimization of the hot and cold deck reset
schedules.
