A comprehensive control concept for nighttime ventilation.

Author(s) : JONES J.

Summary

Notes the potential of nighttime ventilation for reducing cooling capacity as well as run-time duration for chillers. The concept is based on the thermal flywheel effect of the building mass. By circulating cool outside air through the building, the mass temperature is lowered. This then acts as a thermal heat sink. States that with the increased capabilities of computer-based controls for architectural systems, the potential for this control strategy goes far beyond current approaches that seek to achieve a preset mass temperature.
