Energy and indoor air quality impacts of CO2-based demand-controlled ventilation.

Author(s) : CARPENTER S. C.

Summary

A detailed building energy analysis program (ENERPASS) was combined with a contaminant-level prediction program (CONTAM87) to perform the analysis. The combined program was used to evaluate the annual heating and cooling energy consumption and carbon dioxide and formaldehyde concentrations. The assessment was made on a mid-sized commercial building designed to comply with ASHRAE Standard 90.1. Three separate heating, ventilating and air-conditioning systems were studied: single zone (i.e., multiple roof-top units), multizone and variable air-volume. The simulations were made for five ventilation control strategies.
