Air-conditioning control strategies: computer simulation for a commercial building in Hong Kong.

Type of article: Article

Summary

The paper presents a transient simulation method for simulating an air-conditioning system in a commercial building. The impacts of several different control strategies on energy saving were computed and the energy consumptions were compared. The effects on energy saving of the control mode before the occupied period and the chilled water outlet temperature from the chillers were also simulated. The results show that the control strategy has a significant effect on the energy consumption and that there is an optimal range of chilled water outlet temperature within which the system energy consumption is a minimum.
