Retrofitting Strategy Conversion to demand fresh air control system coupling with exhaust air system
Demand-controlled fresh air system adjusts fresh air intake based on actual need at any given time instead of at a fixed rate for full occupancy. IAQ sensors measure carbon dioxide levels to signal the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system to adjust the amount of fresh air brought into the space.

Consideration
  • Ensure that the carbon dioxide sensors are located at locations that can reflect the carbon dioxide level of the occupied zone.
  • Carbon dioxide sensors need to be calibrated from time to time. 
Estimated Saving

(SkW_PAUPRE  – SkW_PAUPOST) *OPHR,yr

Where  S kW_PAUPRE = NPAUPRE*kW_PAUPRE

SkW_PAUPOST = (0.605*LFSM,POST + 0.395*LFWN,POST)*NPAUPOST*kW_PAUPOST

For CSD: LFSM = LFWN = 1,

For VSD: LFSM = 0.795, LFWN = 0.562;

For EC or DC-motor: LFSM = 0.71, LFWN = 0.38

OPHR,yr = hr/day*day/wk*52
