Fig. 10. Dynamic Data Display Example
Load reset works best when the number of monitored loads
are between 2 and 30. If any monitored load is undersized or
stays in full cooling for any reason, reset will not occur. See
the Air Handling Systems Control Applications section and the
Chiller, Boiler, and Distribution System Control Applications
section for other load reset examples.
Zero Energy Band
The zero energy band (Fig. 11) program provides a dead
band where neither heating nor cooling energy is used. This
limits energy use by allowing the space temperature to float
between minimum and maximum values. It also controls the
mixed-air dampers to use available outdoor air if suitable for
cooling. On multizone fan systems with simultaneous heating
and cooling load capability, zone load reset controls the hot
and cold deck temperature setpoints.
