摘要：

Performance of two widely used air conditioning (AC) systems, variable air volume (VAV) and variable refrigerant flow (VRF), in an existing office building environment under the same indoor and outdoor conditions for an entire cooling season is simulated by using two validated respective models and compared. It was observed that the indoor temperatures could not be maintained properly at the set temperature by the VAV no-reheat boxes. However, it could be maintained by the VAV boxes with reheat with a significant energy consumption penalty. It was found that the secondary components (indoor and ventilation units) of the VRF AC system promised 38.0-83.4% energy-saving potential depending on the system configuration, indoor and outdoor conditions, when compared to the secondary components (heaters and the supply fan) of the VAV AC system. Overall, it was found that the VRF AC system promised 27.1-57.9% energy-saving potentials depending on the system configuration, indoor and outdoor conditions, when compared to the VAV AC system.
