Automated Air Source and VAV Box Association

摘要

A system and method including the ability of a building automation system controller to automatically determine which VAV boxes are physically associated with which air sources in a building or facility with multiple air sources by coordinating the individual or simultaneous manipulation of the fan speed of the air sources or the VAV damper positions, while obtaining data from networked sensors that measure VAV box airflow or duct pressure or the environmental conditions of a space being supplied with air from one or more VAV boxes.

主权项

1. A building automation system comprising:
a plurality of variable air-volume boxes, each capable of regulating a flow of air into a space; an air source coupled to a subset of the plurality of variable air-volume boxes though a duct system; and a controller communicatively coupled to each of the plurality variable air-volume boxes and to the air source, and configured to monitor at least one sensor located in proximity to the plurality of variable air-volume boxes, the controller including means for automatically determining which of the plurality of variable air-volume boxes is coupled through the duct system to the air source.
