This report is an initial investigation of the energy benefits of using very high efficiency DOAS in a multi-family building applications to understand the trade-offs in efficiency compared to conventional systems and the impacts of using select options for more significant energy savings potential.
This comprehensive design guide includes the system definition and design recommendations that provide guidance to manufacturers, designers and specifiers regarding the key components of a Very High Efficiency Dedicated Outside Air System.
Dedicated outdoor air systems (DOAS) are a proven solution for reducing energy consumption as they optimize the control and functionality of ventilation and thermal comfort independently. A very high efficiency approach to DOAS pairs a high efficiency heat/energy recovery ventilator (HRV/ERV) with a high efficiency heat pump, while following design...
This report summarizes the leading institutions’ COVID-19 mitigation recommendations for commercial ventilation systems to incorporate and design commercial buildings for resiliency.
This analysis sought to understand the cost benefit of converting an existing commercial building’s HVAC system to three configurations of a Dedicated Outside Air System (DOAS) with each one increasing in energy efficiency. The analysis found the Very High Efficiency (VHE) DOAS package to have the highest net present value...
