Abstract

The energy performance of different HVAC systems varies, and, more importantly, is dependent to the characteristics of the building. To select a suitable HVAC system for a particular building at early design stages presents a significant challenge to engineers. In this paper, we use a typical open-plan UK office building to analyse the correlation between its dynamic load profile and the performance of various HVAC systems. EnergyPlus models of the building and the systems are created. A number of parameters (e.g. insulation level, HVAC system types, supply air temperature setpoint and fresh air supply) that affect the heating/cooling energy consumption are varied. By running a series of experiments and analysing the results, we aim to provide guidelines to assist the selection of HVAC systems for UK office buildings.
