E 503.5.6.3 Multiple-Zone VAV System Ventilation Optimization Control
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER
Multiple-zone VAV systems with DDC individual zone boxes reporting to a central control panel shall include a means to automatically reduce outdoor air intake flow below design rates in response to changes in system ventilation efficiency in accordance with ASHRAE 62.1.
Exceptions:
- VAV systems with zonal transfer fans that recirculate air from other zones without directly mixing it with outdoor air, dual-duct dual-fan VAV systems, and VAV systems with fan-powered terminal units.
- Systems where total design exhaust airflow is more than 70 percent of total design outdoor air intake flow requirements. [ASHRAE 90.1:6.5.3.3]
