TOPIC: DOAS Lessons Learned Many of us know the basic features of a Dedicated Outdoor Air Systems (DOAS) and what its benefits are, but this presentation dives into the details and common pitfalls often overlooked when starting out to design a DOAS. In this presentation we’ll explore sizing strategies, more advanced control options, and considerations…
Hospitals are large energy consumers, using two to five times the energy of commercial buildings. And, most of the energy consumption is in the HVAC systems; two-thirds to three quarters of hospital energy is heating, ventilation, and cooling. This presentation covers the details, and step-by-step processes, for the design of HVAC systems which are energy-conscious….
