Energy savings were accomplished in a four-story building undergoing changes in space usage by converting the air handling system from double ducts to variable air volume (VAV). A new computer installed in the building's interior would have required additional air conditioning equipment because of the inefficiency of hot deck-cold deck systems. Details of the modifications for VAV and cost comparisons illustrate how energy waste was eliminated and cooling costs lowered. The new system takes advantage of free cooling when outside temperatures permit and eliminates most reheating. (DCK)
