Summary

This article reports on the simulation of the performance of various supply and exhaust ventilation systems, incorporating heat recovery, in a typical Finnish residential apartment building. Dynamic thermal simulations were undertaken, representing a period of a year. These simulations incorporated the building details combined with information on the HVAC systems, internal loads and outdoor climate. The ventilation systems investigated included a simple centralized constant air volume mechanical supply and exhaust ventilation system and a decentralized air handling-unit that included an option for variable air volume for demand-controlled ventilation.
