Abstract

In a heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system, operation of the air-side system has a significant influence on the overall performance of a building energy system. For example, in a worst-case scenario instability in the air-side economizer could trigger instability at the central chilled water plant or vice versa.
