Abstract:

This paper presents a rigorous simulation-based analysis of the Dynamic Chiller Sequencing (DCS) strategy for controlling HVAC equipment. The effects of many factors affecting the cooling load in a building as well as several parameters of the DCS procedure have been systematically explored to identify those which have the greatest impact on DCS performance. The ability of DCS to reduce energy costs relative to heuristic strategies typical of those found in conventional building control systems is also assessed.
