Feasibility study for the use of variable air volume systems for office buildings

Feasibility study for the use of variable air volume systems for office buildings

Abstract

The main factor contributing to greenhouse gas emissions is the building up of the surrounding area. Studies have shown that buildings globally consume 30-40 % of energy use and release 40-50 % of global carbon dioxide emissions. Among all systems in houses, heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems are by far the most energy intensive. They consume approximately 50 % of the total energy demand of buildings. However, the systems are some of the most important systems in today's buildings. The number of these systems that are being installed has increased dramatically over the past few years. This is mainly due to the increasing demands for thermal energy, comfort and climate change. This paper presents a feasibility and ecology study between two ventilation or air-conditioning systems: constant air volume (CAV) and variable air volume (VAV). One of the purposes of this work is to determine the energy costs for each of the systems. An air conditioning system that saves operating costs usually requires a large initial investment. In this case, engineers must decide whether it is worth paying the additional upfront costs for a system that has lower operating costs. Despite the low attractiveness from the point of view of the investor, the VAV systems reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions and the amount of energy resources for servicing the commercial sector. Such system have less metal consumption. Thus, the cost of metal processing is also reduced. The results of this study can contribute to the future selection of ventilation systems, as well as contribute to the design and improvement of the systems under study. Energy saving is one of the main reasons why VAV systems are very popular today for the design of ventilation and air conditioning systems for office buildings and in many industries abroad. With these systems, the volume of transported air is reduced as soon as the operating load falls below the maximum projected load. The calculation of emissions of harmful substances into the environment was made while ensuring the operation of CAV and VAV systems.

Використання енергії в будівлях має значний вплив на глобальний попит на енергію та навколишнє середовище. Серед усіх будівельних систем опалення, вентиляція та кондиціонування повітря є найбільш енерговитратними з точки зору їхньої загальної потреби в енергії. Виробництво та експлуатація систем формування мікроклімату мають істотний вплив на навколишнє середовище. Ці системи також є одними з найбільших споживачів природних ресурсів та матеріалів у будівельному секторі. Кількість систем опалення, вентиляції та кондиціонування повітря, що встановлюються, різко зросла за останні кілька років. Це головним чином спричинено підвищенням вимог до теплової енергії, комфорту й змін клімату. Постійне зростання уваги до споживання енергії та палива породжує питання, які системи формування мікроклімату мають кращі екологічні показники. У цій роботі виконано порівняння двох систем кондиціонування повітря: з постійною витратою повітря (Constant Air Volume – CAV) та зі змінною витратою повітря (Variable Air Volume – VAV). Визначено викиди шкідливостей до навколишнього середовища при забезпеченні роботи цих двох систем.
