Abstract

The purpose of this study is to introduce the energy simulation program BLDSYM, verify the approach. and demonstrate the energy saving opportunities. A case study model for Hoover Middle School, OK USA has been introduced as a base case simulation. Air-side variable air volume (VAV) and water-side variable flow hydronic (VFH) system have been recommended, modeled and simulated to quantify the energy savings compared with the base system, which is typically constant air and water flow system. More than 30 % of energy savings could be obtained with the optimum variable flow system.
