Development and implementation of occupancy-based predictive controls for modulation of air handling units' outdoor air dampers
BW Hobson - 2020 - repository.library.carleton.ca
Occupancy in the field of HVAC design is crudely estimated early in the design phase and
often does not reflect the actual building. This results in chronic overventilation, which …
