A FEASIBILITY STUDY ON SPACE COOLING WITH OUTDOOR AIR USING A DYNAMIC ENERGY SIMULATION PROGRAM PART 1: PARAMETRIC STUDY ON FEASIBILITY OF SPACE COOLING WITH OUTDOOR AIR ON SEVERAL WEATHER CONDITIONS

As a part of our research on energy conservation and thermal comfort of detached houses havingcentralized HVAC systems, study with numerical simulation techniques was started. The model is thehouse that has mechanical supply and exhaust ventilation systems with a centralized air duct equippedwith a sensible heat exchanger and has large return air (4 times an hour). The parameters in thesimulation are the set point temperature and outdoor air flow rate.
