摘要
This study evaluates the energy savings resulting from the remediation of coil and filter fouling in constant air volume HVAC systems in residential and small commercial buildings. A computer model was developed to simulate the behavior of buildings and their duct systems under various levels of fouling. The model was verified through laboratory and field testing. Parametric simulation and sensitivity analysis results suggest that although fouling can have an impact on both air conditioner and furnace energy use, for the levels of fouling found in the literature, energy savings will be negligible for residential buildings and negative for small commercial buildings.
