采用DOE-2和可变基箱法对新泽西州中部一座商业办公楼的VAV系统进行了建模，以评估在不降低舒适度的情况下降低HVAC成本的控制策略。目标是尽可能减少风扇和加热/冷却功率的总和，同时提供足够的空气，以维持理想的办公室温度和空气质量。在HVAC设计师规定的55 F（12.8°C）送风温度下，风机能量保持在较低水平，而冷水机组的成本则较低。将送风温度提高到60华氏度（15.6摄氏度）可以在温和天气下更多地利用室外空气，并将制冷机能耗降低33兆瓦时/年，同时仅增加4兆瓦时的风扇功率，从而使风扇和制冷机的组合功率净节省13%。通过改变送风温度和室外温度，可以实现额外的9 MWh净风机和冷却器节能。在冬季，将送风温度提高到60华氏度（15华氏度）。 6°C）减少了终端再热的需要，并在风机能量仅增加1 MWh的情况下，预计每年可节省22 MWh，净节省10%。几种送风重置策略产生了几乎相同的节能效果，进一步减少了加热，同时增加了风扇能量。单位:双引文:研讨会，ASHRAE交易，1986年，第92卷，pt。2B，波特兰，或

A VAV system in a commercial office building in central New Jersey has been modeled, with DOE-2 and a variable-base bin method, to assess control strategies that lead to reduced HVAC costs with no decrease in comfort. The goal is to minimize the sum of fan and heating/cooling power while providing sufficient air to maintain desired office temperatures and air quality. With the 55 F (12.8 °C) supply air temperature specified by the HVAC designer, fan energy is kept low at the expense of the chillers. Raising the supply air temperature to 60 F (15.6 °C) makes more use of outdoor air in temperate weather and reduces the chiller energy consumption by a predicted 33 MWh/year while increasing fan power by only 4 MWh, for a net savings in combined fan and chiller power of 13%. An additional 9 MWh of net fan and chiller energy savings can be achieved by varying the supply air temperature with outdoor temperature. In winter, increasing the supply air temperature to 60 F (15.6 °C) reduces the need for terminal reheat and saves a predicted 22 MWh/year with fan energy increasing only 1 MWh, for a 10% net savings. Several supply air reset strategies yield nearly identical savings, with further reductions in heating matched by increases in fan energy.Units: Dual
