Abstract

Heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems consumes nearly 50 to 60% of the total power consumption in any building and thus, offers huge potential and challenge to reduce the energy consumption by employing various innovative systems designs. For air conditioning systems, the measures include selecting the right temperature, minimizing the space for air conditioning and closing of dampers/grills for areas where air conditioning is not required. The aim of this project is to design a HVAC with minimum operating cost while not compromising with the human comfort. With increasing number of patient due to covid-19 outbreak there has been overgrowing importance of multi-specialty hospital with good air conditioning. This project focuses on reducing the energy consumption by conducting heat load calculation for entire building and necessary component of HVAC system.

Keywords
