Summary

Rates of 5 liters per second (L/s) and 10 L/s per person were applied in a software model of identical buildings located in Canberra, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Darwin. The system model was operated with and without an outdoor air economy cycle. It was found that the higher rate made only marginal differences to energy consumption in the temperate climates of Canberra, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. Operation with the economy cycle provided significant energy savings in Canberra and Melbourne with lesser benefit in Sydney and Brisbane. The higher ventilation rate was found to impose a significant penalty on energy consumption in Darwin but an economy cycle was of no advantage there. As expected, cooling and heating peak loads were higher at all sites with 10 L/s of outdoor air than with 5 L/s.
