Macroscopic model of indoor air quality and automatic control of ventilation airflow.

Author(s) : KNOESPEL P. D., MITCHELL J. W., BECKMAN W. A.

Summary

An office zone and a meeting room zone, including the transient airflows and heating and cooling loads, together with the HVAC system, were modeled. Comparisons were then made between several strategies for outside airflow rate to determine their ability to control indoor pollutant levels and their impact on heating and cooling energy use. The results of this study indicate that an automatic outside airflow control strategy based on CO2 concentration can control pollutants as well as the strategy of a fixed flow of outside air and with less energy.
