Conclusions: • The DOAS, configuration 5, exhibits superior demand and energy performance when compared to the other configurations analyzed. • The DOAS assures verifiable ventilation delivery. • Decoupled sensible and latent cooling contributes to improved comfort, health and productivity
Recommendation: • Make the transition to dedicated OA designs. • Use configuration 5 to decouple the space sensible and latent loads. • Save energy, improve quality of the spaces, and minimize litigation potential.
