From complete system design to testing and balancing to troubleshooting, this practical handbook examines all aspects of variable air volume (VAV) systems for heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems. The author has incorporated his own hands-on expertise into this concise presentation which guides the reader in applying the "tricks of the trade" for reducing installation and operating costs while increasing occupant comfort. Variable air volume applications are examined in detail for dual duct, multizone, terminal bypass fan powered, and other commonly used types of systems. You will learn effective methods of varying fan volume, calibrating pneumatic and electronic boxes, and applying the various types of VAV control systems. A wide range of topics are addressed, including temperature, pneumatics, direct digital control, coil controls, morning warmup and night heating, VAV point list, fan tracking, fume hood applications, and conversion of existing systems to VAV. A comprehensive chapter on cost estimating has been added to this second edition.

This text provides a description and analysis of the Variable Air Volume (VAV) system from both a practical and theoretical view. The information provided ranges from the common textbook equations and references, to sources of authoritative information like ASHRAE, to a discussion of hands-on problems that have been encountered and resolved in actual designs. Issues like ccontrols and dampers that behave in a non-ideal manner are described with suggestions on how to overcome these limitations. The advantages and disadvantages of using VAV configurations are explored and analyzed.
