Entertainment clubs, nightclubs, theaters, restaurants, and coliseums, with their highly variable occupancy rate, are excellent candidates for demand-controlled ventilation. The dynamic thermal requirements of both heating and cooling, coupled with the need to control indoor air quality because of the large number of patrons who also may be smoking during the highest occupancy, provide an opportunity to integrate the temperature controls with an indoor air quality control system. Significant energy savings may be realized by controlling the ventilation of outdoor air to match the heating, cooling, and humidity requirements as well as maintaining acceptable indoor air quality. This paper describes a demand-controlled ventilation system that was installed in an entertainment club in Boise, Idaho, using a multigas indoor air quality sensor to measure the level of indoor air pollutants, which, when combined with a mixed-air temperature sensor to provide economizer cooling, introduces outdoor air at a rate required to adequately ventilate the space.
