The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to University of Miami (UM) to validate the performance of three heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) control algorithms for air handling units (AHUs) and roof top units (RTUs). The control algorithms would regulate the following components within each HVAC system: the supply fan, the cooling coil valve, and the outdoor air (OA) flow meter. Testing of the algorithms would be performed using occupancy sensors in real buildings. The project would be completed over three Budget Periods (BPs), with a Go/No-Go Decision Point in between each BP.
