OSTI ID:6802413

Division 5 of the Energy Conservation Standards for new Nonresidential Buildings deals with Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning Systems. These standards are aimed at providing acceptable comfort conditions while using as little new energy as possible. Information is presented to show designers, contractors, and environment agencies how to apply the HVAC systems standards for new nonresidential buildings. The five principal restrictions and specifications in the standards are detailed and information on: when the HVAC systems standards apply; load calculations; ventilation; room temperature control; restrictions on HVAC system types; when free cooling (economizer cycle) is required; duct insulation and construction requirements; fan power restrictions; piping insulation; and compliance forms and their use is presented. A sample problem on what to do if your design does not comply is shown. (MCW)
