Buildings.Controls.OBC.ASHRAE.G36_PR1.AHUs.SingleZone.VAV.Controller
Single Zone AHU controller that composes subsequences for controlling fan speed, economizer, and supply air temperature
Information
Block for single zone VAV control. It outputs supply fan speed, supply air temperature setpoints for heating, economizer and cooling, zone air heating and cooling setpoints, outdoor and return air damper positions, and valve positions of heating and cooling coils.
It is implemented according to the ASHRAE Guideline 36, Part 5.18.
The sequences consist of the following subsequences.
Supply fan speed control
The fan speed control is implemented according to PART 5.18.4. It outputs
the control signal yFan to adjust the speed of the supply fan.
See
Buildings.Controls.OBC.ASHRAE.G36_PR1.AHUs.SingleZone.VAV.SetPoints.Supply
for more detailed description.
Supply air temperature setpoints
The supply air temperature setpoints control sequences are implemented based on PART 5.18.4. They are implemented in the same control block as the supply fan speed control. The supply air temperature setpoint for heating and economizer is the same; while the supply air temperature setpoint for cooling has a separate control loop. See Buildings.Controls.OBC.ASHRAE.G36_PR1.AHUs.SingleZone.VAV.SetPoints.Supply for more detailed description.
Economizer control
The Economizer control block outputs outdoor and return air damper position, i.e. yOutDamPos and
yRetDamPos, as well as control signal for heating coil yHeaCoi.
Optionally, there is also an override for freeze protection, which is not part of Guideline 36.
See
Buildings.Controls.OBC.ASHRAE.G36_PR1.AHUs.SingleZone.VAV.Economizers.Controller
for more detailed description.
Minimum outdoor airflow
Control sequences are implemented to compute the minimum outdoor airflow setpoint, which is used as an input for the economizer control. More detailed information can be found at Buildings.Controls.OBC.ASHRAE.G36_PR1.AHUs.SingleZone.VAV.SetPoints.OutsideAirFlow.
Zone air heating and cooling setpoints
Zone air heating and cooling setpoints as well as system operation modes are detailed at Buildings.Controls.OBC.ASHRAE.G36_PR1.TerminalUnits.ModeAndSetPoints.

Buildings.Controls.OBC.ASHRAE.G36_PR1.AHUs.SingleZone.VAV.CoolingCoil
Controller for cooling coil valve
Information
This block outputs the cooling coil control signal if the fan is on and the zone status
is uZonSta = Buildings.Controls.OBC.ASHRAE.G36_PR1.Types.ZoneStates.cooling.
Otherwise, the control signal for the coil is set to 0.

Buildings.Controls.OBC.ASHRAE.G36_PR1.AHUs.SingleZone.VAV.ZoneState
Select the zone state
Information
Block that outputs the zone state. It first checks if the zone is in heating state; if not, it checks if the zone is in cooling state; otherwise it is in deadband state.
These states are defined in Buildings.Controls.OBC.ASHRAE.G36_PR1.Types.ZoneStates.
The logic of the block is as follows.
-
The zone state is heating when both of the following two conditions are satisfied:
(i) The heating control signal satisfies
uHea > uHigh, whereuHighis a parameter, and (ii) the following condition is satisfieduHea - uCoo > uLow, whereuCoois the cooling control signal anduLowis a parameter. The second condition is used to avoid errors whenuHea > 0anduCoo > 0at the same time. -
The zone state is cooling when the zone state is not heating and the cooling control signal satisfies
uCoo > uHigh, whereuHighis a parameter. IfuCoo < uLow, then the zone state is not cooling. - The zone state is deadband when it is neither in heating state nor in cooling state.
Parameters
