Variable Air Volume (VAV) air-conditioning system presents great energy savings potential especially in hot and humid climate and has been recommended in the Building Energy Code of Taiwan since 1996. Simulation results indicated that the annual energy savings of VAV system in typical commercial buildings in Taiwan could be up to 70% of total fan power. A full-scale experiment has been performed which validated this result successfully, and would be adapted with the PACS index in the second phase of national Building Energy Code in Taiwan.

With the development of urbanization, the building energy conservation has been paid more and more attention, and 50% to 60% of the power energy consumption—the energy consumption of air-conditioning be paid attention for people. Research about measuring and analysis on energy consumption of VAV air-conditioning system is described in this paper. A measuring and analysis solution has been implemented in the VAV Air-Conditioning laboratory of Xi’an University of Architecture & Technology (XAUAT). The satisfactory results are given.

For ocean-going vessels sailing in different areas on the sea, the change of external environment factors will cause frequent changes in load, traditional ship air-conditioning system is usually designed with a fixed cooling capacity, this design method causes serious waste of resources. A new type of sea-based air conditioning system is proposed in this paper, which uses the sea-based source heat pump system, combined with variable air volume, variable water technology. The multifunctional cabins’ dynamic loads for a ship navigating in a typical Eurasian route were calculated based on Simulink. The model can predict changes in full voyage load. Based on the simulation model, the effects of variable air volume and variable water volume on the energy consumption of the air-conditioning system are analyzed. The results show that: When the VAV is coupled with the VWV, the energy saving rate is 23.2%. Therefore, the application of variable air volume and variable water technology to marine air conditioning systems can achieve economical and energy saving advantages.

The energy performance of a four-storey library (PSZ) building of Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) has been simulated using a microcomputer-based building energy simulation program, SHEAP. The simulation results give a comparative estimate of the potential annual savings for nine parameters. Significant savings (greater than 3.7% of RM 815,680 in operating cost) can result from the use of a Variable Air Volume (VAV) system, reduced air-conditioning times and reduced electrical lighting intensity. A 25% glazed-facade can contribute about 1% in saving,while the other parameters contribute less than 0.2% in savings to be of any significance.
