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.

  1. 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.
  2. The building control system has to include controls for fan static pressure reset.
  3. The mandatory requirements of ASHRAE 90.1-2007 and ASHRAE 62.1-2007 have to be met.
