Summary

This article discusses several control strategies that can significantly reduce energy consumption associated with Packaged rooftop units (RTUs). Although all of these strategies are widely used in built-up air-handling units, they are not commonly used in existing RTUs. Both simulation and field evaluations show that adding these control strategies to existing RTUs can reduce their energy consumption by between 30% and 60%.
