The air-conditioning system consisting an air-handling unit (AHU) and a primary air handling unit (PAU) is designed to serve an office floor. The floor consists of five zones with a total area of 1000 m² including four open plan offices and one conference room of identical floor area. The design supply air flows of each room are 1.0 m³/s. The design occupancy number is 40 for each office and 100 for the conference room. 4-a) Determine the minimum design air flow rate of the PAU. 4-b) In a summer condition, the outdoor air temperature is 32 °C and relative humidity is 80%. Indoor air temperature and relative humidity are well controlled to 24 °C and 55%, respectively. The offices and the conference room are fully occupied. Calculate the cooling energy waste for outdoor air ventilation of the above system configuration compared with the system where the dedicated outdoor air is supplied to individual rooms according to their actual ventilation demands.
