Hi all,
I am working on the project where the project space is served by chilled
water to meet the building heat load. And in eQuest, I have considered the
single zone Reheat system under the Air Side HVAC tab for AHU having 14200
CFM working 9 hours 6 days a week.
My doubt is that whether I set the fan controls constant speed or variable
speed, the software generated fan energy consumption KWh are nearly the
same (only a difference of 16 KWh) between both the cases.
This seems that I will not get the benefit of variable speed fan control in
case there is a VFD equipped to AHU.
Can anyone help me why there is a very little difference in fan energy
consumption using constant speed and variable speed fan in the model.
