- Abstract
- Software is an important component of building energy management and control systems (EMCS). The National Bureau of Standards developed and documented eight public domain EMCS supervisory control algorithms. The testing and verification of these eight algorithms are described in the report. The algorithms tested cover dry bulb and enthalpy economizer cycles, optimum and scheduled start/stop, duty cycling, demand limiting, outside air supply air reset, and demand supply air reset.
