Title

Mitigating the impacts of ASHRAE standard 62-1989 on Florida Schools

Abstract

Using a single prototypical school modeled for three cities (Miami, Orlando and Jacksonville), the impacts of ASHRAE Standard 62-1989 on a typical Florida elementary school were studied by performing annual building energy simulations using computer software. The performance of a conventional heating, ventilating, and HVAC system and several alternative technologies was investigated to assess their ability to mitigate the impacts of ASHRAE Standard 62-1989 while maintaining acceptable indoor humidity levels. In addition, the installed first costs and life-cycle costs for all HVAC systems investigated were estimated and compared to identify cost-effective options. Results of the simulation study indicate that the conventional HVAC system will have problems maintaining proper indoor humidity levels in Florida schools with ventilation rates prescribed by ASHRAE Standard 62-1989.
