Type of article: Article
Summary
States that in hot and humid climates the benefits of VAV systems are often not fully realised. Compares critically the performance of VAV system with an equivalent constant air volume (CAV) system for five different buildings in such a climate. Presents a detailed analysis of the system and plant loads and the corresponding energy consumption for the two types of systems and identifies the extent of energy saving potential of a VAV system.
