Implementation of comfort-based air-handling unit control algorithms.

Author(s) : TSE W. L., SO A. T. P.

Summary

Comfort-based control of HVAC systems gives superior performance over conventional set-point control in terms of human comfort and energy utilization. The idea of using predicted mean vote (PMV), based on P.O. Fanger's equation, as the reference to develop a control strategy for a residence was proposed in 1991. The authors have implemented this control concept in detail on an air-handling unit model. One major element in realizing this idea was the recent introduction of an economical electronic comfort sensor. The PMV value has been integrated as the major control parameter in the control algorithms.
