Summary

Variable-air-volume (VAV) systems provide comfort in many different building types and climates. This article discusses several design and control strategies that can significantly reduce energy use in multiple-zone VAV systems. Although none of these strategies are new (in fact, several are required by energy standards or codes), implementation of them in buildings seems to be surprisingly infrequent. In this age of striving for higher levels of energy performance, these ought to be standard practice for every VAV system.
