While the emphasis of fault detection and diagnostic (FDD) research has been on hard faults
(eg, stuck/leaking/broken valve or damper), soft faults or, in general, human errors account …

Room air conditioners are unable to simultaneously control the temperature and humidity of
the air supply. Although temperature-regulating dehumidifiers can simultaneously control …

Fresh air volume control is of great significance in reducing energy consumption in nearly
zero energy buildings. Previous studies have shown that the operating fresh air volume …

This paper classifies common sequencing logic faults in multiple zone variable air volume
(VAV) air handling unit (AHU) systems by conducting a critical review of the literature. Six …

It is promising to apply model predictive control (MPC) scheme to demand-controlled
ventilation (DCV) for the energy-efficient provision of indoor air quality (IAQ). However, the …

This paper analyzes the cost-effectiveness of converting the University of Dayton (UD) to a
fully-electrified, renewably powered, carbon-neutral campus by 2025. The greenhouse gas …

Implementation of sequences of operation for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning
(HVAC) systems into a building automation system (BAS) is a critical process for building …

Traditional static pressure reset control strategies commonly use a feedback indicator to
reset the static pressure; this results in under-ventilation in certain zones and over …

With heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) consuming the largest share of
commercial building energy usage in the US, identifying HVAC energy efficiency measures …

The energy consumption of fresh air systems constitutes a significant proportion of the
energy consumption of heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning system therefore, energy …
