Classroom HVAC: Improving Ventilation and Saving Energy. Field Study Plan (October 14, 2004).

DE2004834323

Publication Date	2004
Personal Author	Apte, M. G.; Faulkner, D.; Hodgson, A. T.; Sullivan, D. P.
Page Count	24
Abstract	The primary goals of this research effort are to develop, evaluate, and demonstrate a very practical HVAC system for classrooms that consistently provides classrooms (CRs) with the quantity of ventilation in current minimum standards, while saving energy, and reducing HVAC-related noise levels. This research is motivated by the public benefits of energy efficiency, evidence that many CRs are under-ventilated, and public concerns about indoor environmental quality in CRs. This document provides a summary of the detailed plans developed for the field study that will take place in 2005 to evaluate the energy and IAQ performance of a new classroom HVAC technology. The field study will include measurements of HVAC energy use, ventilation rates, and IEQ conditions in 10 classrooms with the new HVAC technology and in six control classrooms with a standard HVAC system.
