HVAC system characteristics: ventilation and energy.

Summary

Describes HVAC system configurations for large buildings that can significantly increase ventilation rates while reducing both the peak energy demand and annual energy consumption, as an alternative to additional air filtration and air cleaning. These systems consist of a central dehumidifier which provides 100% outdoor air to fan-induction terminals which recirculate locally. Air quality advantages of the system include the ability to meet or exceed the ASHRAE standard for ventilation in all building zones.
