Seminar 37--Show Me the Money! Cost-Based Control of Supply Air Temperature

This product is a zip file that contains files that consist of PowerPoint slides synchronized with the audio-recording of the speaker, PDF files of the slides, and audio only (mp3 format) as noted.

The complexity of supply air temperature reset strategies varies greatly, from a simple reset based on outside air temperature to highly complex strategies based on model predictive control. ASHRAE Guideline 36 outlines the current industry best practice approach. But what if we could significantly improve performance over Guideline 36 without overwhelming complexity? The speakers discuss results from simulation analysis and field evaluation of a novel cost-based control strategy for supply air temperature reset.
