Note: If the base building HVAC system can’t be modulated in response to space demand, as with many VAV systems where one zone cannot be the control point of the entire air-handler’s outside air damper minimum position, the design has to meet the following criteria.
- The system has to be capable of modulating air-handling units (AHUs) and zone minimum supply volume below 0.30 cubic feet per minute per square foot of supply volume for standard VAV terminals, or below 22.5% of the peak design flow rate for fan-powered VAV boxes. For spaces where the minimum outdoor air flow exceeds the minimum supply volumes specified here, use occupant sensors or DCV to achieve these minimum supply volumes.
- The building control system has to include controls for fan static pressure reset.
- The mandatory requirements of ASHRAE 90.1-2007 and ASHRAE 62.1-2007 have to be met.
