I. PURPOSE
This document is intended to establish a common set of sequences for control of common HVAC
systems. It is expected that this set will be extended and modified both by ASHRAE and by users
to fit a variety of needs. A set of industry-accepted sequences will:
Provide a common language of terms and choices to consider in HVAC systems,

increase effectiveness of HVAC designers in specifying DDC systems,
improve the quality of specifications produced,
facilitate communication between specifiers and contractors,
increase efficiency of the contractors in the construction and commissioning process,
improve the functionality and energy efficiency of the DDC systems delivered, and
increase the understanding and familiarity with the operation of DDC/HVAC systems among
the building owners and operators.
Considering this set of purposes, the intended users include HVAC designers, control contractors,
commissioning agents, and building owners, operators, and maintenance technicians. Each user
is important, but the HVAC designer is the primary user; all the other users are obliged to work
with what the HVAC designer delivers.
This resource will aid HVAC designer in the development of control sequences by providing an
accurate, consistent, and well-organized starting point. It provides:
an effective specification format,

a common sequence that is frequently applicable or easily customizable to match a specific
application, and
a peer-reviewed specification of that sequence.
It does not save the designer from:
deciding how the HVAC system must operate,

correctly applying codes and standards, or
designing to meet the end user's goals.
The designers retain all the responsibility implied by their role in the construction process.
II. SCOPE
This resource offers commonly accepted sequences for a variety of air handling units and
terminal units. There is no attempt here to cover every kind of HVAC unit. In some cases,
alternative sequences are presented; there is no attempt to cover all of the useable options.
In addition to the sequences, this document offers suggestions for development and customizing
sequences of operation for a specific project. The examples presented here are well-founded
sequences for each type of equipment and leave the advanced or very special control schemes to
the consulting engineers and control contractors to provide as value added. These control
sequences are written for implementation using a DDC system.
October 2005 ASHRAE 2005 Page 1

III. CONTENTS OF THIS PACKAGE
The control sequences in this document are presented with other parts of a control specification,
including a control schematic, object list, and mode table. These parts are needed to fully
communicate the operation and installation of the control system. The material in this document
represents a common application that should be tailored to match the actual system and the
operational requirements. Publishing a control sequence that does not match the system or meet
the users efficiency or operational requirements, while vastly entertaining to the contractors
field personnel, adds little to the construction effort.
The control schematic is a diagram of the system showing the relationships between equipment
and control components. The input/outputs to DDC are shown, as are any hardwired interlocks.
Often the control schematic is included in the contract drawings. Wherever the control schematic
appears, it is a key to communicating the system and the associated controls.
The object list defines the physical and virtual (software) points required for operation and
monitoring of the system. There are many formats in use for the object list. Some contain more
information than others. The format used in this document is best suited less complicated
projects.
The type of point is listed. Point types include analog inputs, binary inputs, pulse inputs, binary
outputs, and analog outputs. The specific implementation of the programming may dictate
additional virtual points not shown on the object list. For this reason, the designer may not be
able to list all of the virtual points. Also defined in the object list are trending, alarm, and
reporting graphic display requirements. In some more complex projects, it is preferred to
describe these functions in the text of the sequence rather than as entries in the object list. In this
package, the object list indicates which points are assigned alarms and the alarm thresholds.
Some alarms are tied to the system status. For example, when the air handler is in the unoccupied
mode, the supply air temperature may not need to be alarmed or different alarm limits may apply.
Alarm thresholds can be established to track setpoints that are dynamically reset.
Each graphic upon which a point should appear is listed. Points can be assigned to more than one
graphic screen. Similarly, each trend log that should display a points data is listed. Points are
often assigned to multiple trend logs. Both graphic displays and trend logs may be created and
changed as needed as part of normal operations, but it is important to identify which points will
be made available for reporting even though they may not be initially assigned to a specific graph
or trend log.
Any standard or custom reports that the point is assigned to are listed in the notes column. Any
other special requirements are listed in the notes column as well.
These sequences also include a mode table. The mode table summarizes the complete sequence of
operation indicating the states (open, closed, modulated to maintain 55F) that are expected when
the system is in different modes of operation (cooling, heating, fire, warm-up and others). Each
row in the table corresponds to a mechanical component in the system. Each column corresponds
to one of the operating modes of the system. Each cell in the table tells what the particular
component does in that mode. The table presents no new information. It briefly restates
information already delivered in the full-text sequence. As such, a specifier using a mode table
must take pains to ensure the table is consistent with the text. For users of the specification, the
clean, organized format of a table answers many questions more quickly and surely than re-

reading the text. This applies to control programmers, commissioning agents, building operators,
and even the designer who needs to check the completeness of their own work.
Using the Sequences in this Package
In using the sequences in this publication, a thorough understanding of the actual system to be
controlled and the requirements of the user are required. With this information in hand, select a
system similar to the actual system and custom tailor the sequence to meet the goals and
requirements of the project. Some specific items to review are the location and quantity of smoke
detectors and other sensors.
Different codes have differing requirements. Some codes require detectors in the supply, and
some codes require detectors on the return. Many codes require both supply and return detection
over 15,000 cfm. Freeze protection is an important consideration from an equipment design and
control standpoint. Attention should be given to assuring that the freeze protection design is
appropriate to the climate. Duct static pressure safeties may be needed if, for example, there is a
fire damper located in the main ductwork that, when closed, would cause the duct static to rise
past the ducts pressure rating. Note that static pressure safeties do not react fast enough to
prevent duct damage if a large damper closes rapidly. The number of heating and or cooling
stages shown on the control diagram, sequences and object list should match the equipment.
The control sequences should be reviewed for compliance with any energy codes in effect for the
project. The owner should be involved in the review of the control sequences to assure they
conform to the facility standards and requirements.
Cutting and pasting the sequences in this manual with little or no thought will most likely result
in a system that does not fully meet anyones needs.
To simplify locating a control sequence that is applicable to a specific system, the sequences are
given a designation. There are three broad heading categories: Constant Volume Air Handling
Units, Variable Volume Air Handling Units, and Terminal Units. For the air handling units
within each category, the sequences are given a unique number that corresponds to fan and coil
configuration of the unit.

The designation of the control sequences is by equipment type. For example:

IV. USERS OF A CONTROL SEQUENCE
When preparing a control sequence, the author should keep in mind its multiple uses. The
following users depend on the sequence for the purposes described below. These are listed in
approximately chronological order, not in order of importance.
A. HVAC Designers. The designer should use the control sequence to assure that the
equipment is capable of carrying out the various steps without causing damage to the
equipment. Additionally, the sequence should be reviewed for compliance with indoor
air quality, comfort, energy conservation, and life safety requirements in relation to the
specific mechanical equipment. Integrating control system and the mechanical system
form the earliest stages of design will result in improved system operation and lower
construction costs.
B. Authorities Having Jurisdiction (typically Fire Departments and Building Departments)

may review the sequence as part of the permit process. They review the sequence to see
that the operation of the equipment complies with the minimum requirements set forth in
the energy conservation, mechanical, and life safety codes.
C. Control Contractors, including the Technicians and Programmers. These people

implement the specified sequence of operation. The control program will typically
include many details not specified in the sequence, such as hysteresis settings, alarm
delays, minimum on/off times, etc., but the end result must be that the equipment
operates as specified. Any settings not specified are left to the discretion of the
programmer, so it is important to include critical setpoints, interlocks, and safety settings
in the control sequence.
D. Commissioning Agents and Construction Project Managers. Part of acceptance testing is

ensuring the installed system operates as specified. Everyone involved in acceptance
depends on a clear sequence to support the decisions.
E. Building Operators. An operators job includes verifying and maintaining correct

operation of the equipment. This leads to frequent questions about what the building is
supposed to do. Operators also need to adjust setpoints, alarm limits, and other operating
parameters. To do this, they need to understand the effects of each adjustable number.
Operators count on finding this information in the sequence of operation.
F. Maintenance Technicians. During the operating life of the building, if a system does not
perform correctly, the person troubleshooting the problem must understand how the
system is supposed to work in order to identify the part that is not working. A well-
written sequence of operation is essential for commissioning and can be an invaluable aid
to troubleshooting.
The sequence should be complete, that is, it should cover all modes of operation: occupied,
unoccupied, warm-up, cool-down, and emergency modes, including safety trip, fire, and smoke
modes. In a perfect world, the system will do exactly what the sequence describes, so prepare
carefully, you should get what you ask for.

V. APPROACHES TO SPECIFYING A SEQUENCE
There are many valid approaches to describing a sequence. Those in this package all follow one style, but
a specifier needs to choose a style best accomplishes the goals of the project. Two aspects of that style
are discussed here.
Structure of a Sequence of Operation: Modes vs. Components
There are two basic methods of organizing a sequence of operation: by operating mode or by component.
In a sequence that is structured by operating mode, the major paragraphs each describe a single mode
such as occupied, unoccupied, and morning startup. The paragraph for one mode specifies operation of
every component of the system in that particular mode. As an example, here is a partial sequence for a
unit ventilator organized by operating mode:
The occupancy mode (Occupied or Unoccupied) shall be determined by the equipment

schedule. The start time shall be adjusted by an optimum start routine that starts the unit at
the latest possible time that insures the space temperature will be at the occupied setpoint
at the time of occupancy.
A. OCCUPIED MODE:
1. The unit fan shall be energized.
2. The heating coil valve, mixed air dampers, and cooling coil valve shall
modulate in sequence to maintain space temperature at the heating or cooling
setpoint. Simultaneous heating and cooling, including economizer cooling,
shall not be allowed. When the outdoor air temperature is greater than the
return air temperature, the OA dampers shall close to minimum position.
3. The OA damper shall not close below the minimum position required for
outdoor air ventilation.
B. UNOCCUPIED MODE
1. The unit fan shall be de-energized unless activated by the optimum start
routine.
2. The heating coil valve, mixed air dampers, and cooling coil valve shall close
completely unless activated by the optimum start routine. During optimum
start, the heating coil valve, mixed air dampers, and cooling coil valve shall
modulate in sequence to maintain space temperature at the heating or cooling
setpoint. Simultaneous heating and cooling, including economizer cooling,
shall not be allowed. When the outdoor air temperature is greater than the
space temperature the OA dampers shall close to minimum position.
3. The OA damper shall be allowed to close completely. No minimum ventilation
is required.
C. OPTIMUM START
1.
In a sequence that is structured by component, the major paragraphs each describe a single component.
The paragraph for one component tells how it works in each operating mode. Here is a partial sequence
for the same unit ventilator, arranged by component:
A. RUN CONDITIONS: The unit shall be energized and the fan shall run under either of
the following conditions:
1. The space is occupied, as determined by the equipment schedule.

2. An optimum start routine indicates the unit must run to bring the space
temperature to the occupied setpoint by the time of occupancy.
B. OA DAMPER:
1. Economizer operation shall be enabled during occupied or optimum start
conditions if the outdoor air temperature is less than the space temperature.
When economizer operation is enabled, the OA damper shall modulate to
maintain the space at the cooling setpoint.
2. During occupied periods, the OA damper shall not close below the minimum
position required for outdoor air ventilation.
3. The OA damper shall close to its minimum position (if occupied) or close
completely (during optimum start) whenever the heating coil is energized or
whenever the outdoor air temperature is greater than the space temperature.
4. The OA damper shall close completely whenever the freezestat trips.
C. COOLING COIL:
1. During occupied or optimum start conditions, the cooling coil shall modulate to
maintain the space at the cooling setpoint. If economizer operation is enabled,
the cooling coil shall not be enabled until the OA damper is at least 90% open.
2. ...
Done correctly, both formats provide the same information. Sequences that are organized by operating
mode are generally easier to understand, because they describe how the entire system will operate under a
given set of conditions. The drawback to this format is that it can be difficult to program a controller
from this sequence, as details about how each component should operate are scattered throughout the
sequence. Sequences that are organized by component may be easier for a programmer to use because
most control programs are structured by component. Similarly, many technicians find the component
structure more useful as a troubleshooting tool because they are generally troubleshooting a specific
component. The question, why is the heating valve open, is easier to answer if all information about
the heating valve is contained in one section.
The decision of which format to use should primarily be determined by the intended use of the sequence.
If the intent is to explain operating concepts and highlight differences between the operating modes, the
sequence should be organized by operating mode. If the intent is to provide specific programming
instructions and to provide maintenance documentation, the component approach should be used. As a
secondary consideration, if the designer needs to provide sequences for multiple variations of a piece of
equipment (ex: unit ventilators with hot water heat, gas heat, or electric heat) the component approach
may be easier to produce since only the affected component needs to be rewritten.
Since the purpose of this document is to describe control sequences commonly used in HVAC systems,
the sequences will be arranged by operating mode. Sequences arranged by component shall be
considered the equivalent of the sequences in this document and are equally acceptable, provided they
implement the same control actions. Regardless of which format is used for the sequence text, the
completed sequence should include an object list, mode table, and control schematic.

Level of Detail: Operation vs. Algorithms
A specifier also has to decide how much detail to write. Some specifications call out the calculations that
a DDC system must implement. Others indicate the required mechanical conditions and responses
without discussing calculations. The following examples illustrate the difference.
The chilled water valve and OA damper shall modulate in sequence to maintain the
discharge temperature at the setpoint."
"A PI feedback loop shall control the discharge temperature. As the PI output goes from 0
to 40%, the OA damper shall modulate from minimum to fully open. As the PID output
goes from 50 to 100%, the valve shall modulate from closed to fully open."
The first example allows any control program that achieves the desired mechanical result. The second
specifies exactly what control algorithm will be used. When the specification contains more detail, the
specifier takes more responsibility for the control system design, leaving the contractors with less
flexibility and less risk.
As in any aspect of specification, the goal is to allow all the flexibility that bidders need to most
effectively meet the project goals, while ruling out products and practices that dont satisfy the needs.
The designer needs to choose the level of detail that maximizes chances of success on the project.
Although the level of detail is not directly related to the format, most operating mode sequences tend to
be concept oriented (ex: Heating coil valve, mixed air dampers, and cooling coil valve shall modulate in
sequence.), while the component approach is more likely to provide programming specifics (ex: The
cooling coil shall not be enabled until the OA damper is at least 90% open.)

A. OVERVIEW
This sequence of control describes the direct digital control (DDC) requirements for a simple
constant volume air handling system. These air handling units are typically in the 2,000 to
7,000 cfm range (4 to 12-ton) serving a single zone with a single exposure.
B. THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE APPLYING THIS SEQUENCE
This sequence uses Demand Control ventilation with a space CO2 sensor. There is no
measurement of outside air flow rate. The minimum OA flow rate is established by the
required outdoor air flow at design occupancy (Vot) and the required outdoor air flow with no
occupants (Vat). These two air flow rates must be shown in the contract documents.
ASHRAE Standard 62.1 describes these values in greater detail. The damper positions
corresponding to these two airflow rates are set by the balance contractor. The CO2
concentrations corresponding to the ambient level and the steady state concentration at the
design occupancy must also be shown. These values may be found in the ASHRAE 62.1
Handbook.
There is no outside air economizer in this unit. This is typical of units having a hydronic
(waterside) economizer, a humidified space or in certain climate zones. Relief air (if
required) needs to be provided since this unit has no relief provisions. ASHRAE Standard
90.1 requires economizers in many applications. See examples of units with economizer in
this section if this is a desired option. A return air damper or a manual balance damper may
be required in the return depending on the system layout and the outside air quantity.
Heating water coils are shown with normally open valves and cooling coils with normally
closed valves. This convention is typical in cold climates and may be different in warm
climates. Actuators that fail in the current position may be considered for some applications
instead of the fail open/closed type. Edit the control drawing to reflect the actual system.
The humidifier may require hard-wired interlocks for airflow and high duct humidity. If the
equipment requires these interlocks, they should be shown on the system schematic.
No dehumidification sequence is provided. De humidification requires reheat capability

which is not included in this unit.

The location and quantity of duct smoke detectors is regulated by code. Verify code
requirements and revise the system schematic accordingly.
An outside air temperature sensor is shown. This value may be available through the
network. Revise the system schematic if this sensor is not required.

SECTION II SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
The occupancy mode (Occupied or Unoccupied) shall be determined through a user-adjustable, graphical,
seven-day schedule with a holiday schedule.
Whenever the supply fan is de-energized, as sensed by the status switch, the outside and exhaust air
dampers shall be closed and the return air damper shall be open, the heating and cooling valves shall be
closed or positioned as described below and the humidifier shall be locked out.

A. OCCUPIED MODE
1. The supply fan shall be energized.
2. There shall be separate heating and cooling space temperature setpoints with a 5F
deadband between the heating and cooling
3. The heating coil valve and cooling coil valve shall modulate in sequence to maintain
supply air temperature setpoint. There shall be a deadband between heating and cooling.
4. Minimum Outside Air: The minimum OA flow rate is established by the required
outdoor air flow with no occupants (Vat) and the required outdoor air flow at design
occupancy (Vot). The damper positions corresponding to these two airflow rates shall be
set in conjunction with the balance contractor. The OA damper shall modulate between
the no occupants position and the design occupancy position as the space CO2
concentration varies from 400 ppm (ambient) to 1,500 ppm (adjustable).
5. Supply air temperature setpoint shall be reset based on space temperature according to
the following reset schedule:
Supply Air Space

Temperature Setpoint Temperature
55F Setpoint +2F
85F Setpoint -2F
All parameters shall be independently adjustable.
6. The humidifier shall modulate to maintain return air humidity setpoint of 30%
(adjustable), subject to the duct high limit setpoint of 90% (adjustable). Humidification
shall be locked out whenever the fan is de-energized or the duct humidity exceeds the
high limit setpoint.
7. The software shall prevent:

a. The heating setpoint from exceeding the cooling setpoint minus 5F (i.e. the
minimum deadband shall be 5F);
b. The unoccupied heating setpoint from exceeding the occupied heating setpoint;
and the unoccupied cooling setpoint from being less than the occupied cooling
setpoint.
B. UNOCCUPIED MODE
1. Unoccupied Off: The supply fan shall be de-energized except when operation is called
for as described below. Outside air dampers and exhaust dampers shall be closed and
return air damper open. Heating and cooling valves shall be closed and humidifier
locked out.
2. Unoccupied OFF Coil Protection: When the supply fan is de-energized and the outside
air temperature is below the Outside Air Low Temperature Protection Setpoint of 35F
(adjustable) and the mixed air temperature is less than the Mixed Air Low Temperature
Protection Setpoint of 45F (adjustable), OR the Low Temperature Limit trips, then the

heating coil valve shall cycle to maintain mixed air temperature protection setpoint of
45F.
When the outside air temperature is above the Outside Air Low Temperature Protection
Setpoint of 35F + deadband, or the mixed air temperature is greater than the Mixed Air
Low Temperature Protection Setpoint of 45F + deadband; the heating and cooling coil
valve shall be closed.
3. Unoccupied Setback: The supply fan shall cycle on with the outside and exhaust
dampers closed when the space temperature drops below the unoccupied space
temperature setpoint of 65F (adjustable). When the fan is energized, the heating shall
modulate to maintain supply air temperature setpoint of 95F (adjustable).
5. Morning Warm-up: If the space temperature is below the occupied temperature setpoint
and the outside air temperature is below 40F Morning Warm-up shall be initiated by the

return air damper open during the morning warm-up cycle. If the space temperature is
below setpoint, the unit shall warm the space to setpoint by raising the unit supply
temperature to 95F (adjustable) until the space temperature equals the occupied space
temperature setpoint. If the space reaches the occupied space temperature setpoint before
occupancy, the system shuts off. If occupancy occurs before the space reaches the
heating setpoint, the system switches to occupied mode. Morning warm-up shall occur
only once in a day.
6. Morning Pre-cooling: If the space temperature is above the occupied space temperature
setpoint and the outside air temperature is above 70F, Morning Pre-Cooling shall be
initiated by the optimum start program. The outside air and exhaust air dampers shall be
closed during the Morning Pre-Cool cycle. The unit shall cool the space to setpoint by
lowering the unit supply air temperature setpoint to 55F until the space temperature
equals the occupied space temperature setpoint. If the space reaches the occupied space
temperature setpoint before occupancy, the system shuts off. If occupancy occurs before
the space temperature reaches the occupied space temperature setpoint, the system
switches to occupied mode. Morning Pre-Cool shall occur only once per day.
C. SAFETY SHUTDOWNS
1. Duct smoke detection, space smoke detection, and low temperature limit trips shall de-
energize the supply fan and close the outside air dampers. Manual reset of the tripped
device shall be required to restart the system.
2. When the OA temperature is below the Outside Air Low Temperature Protection Setpoint
35F (adjustable) and the air handler has shut down in alarm, the heating and cooling
valves shall cycle as described previously in the unoccupied off coil protection mode.

A. OVERVIEW
This sequence of control describes the direct digital control requirements for a simple constant
volume air handling system. These air handling units are typically in the 2,000 to 7,000 cfm
range (4 to 12-ton), serving a single zone with a single exposure.
B. THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE APPLYING THIS SEQUENCE:
There is no measurement of outside air volume. The minimum outside air flow rate is
established by the outside air damper minimum position set by the balance contractor. The
maximum outside air flowrate is determined by the outside air intake configuration.
A fixed minimum outside air volume is provided. This is useful in facilities with a consistent
number of people in the facility or a fixed exhaust requirement.
There are no humidification or de-humidification cycles.
In humid regions an enthalpy-based economizer may be desired.
Pumped coils may be desired for low temperature protection and turbulent flow through the
coil tubes. Pumped cooling coils lower the chilled water Delta T that may adversely affect
the chillers. Additional freeze protection strategies may be needed depending on climate.
A single space temperature setpoint controls the unit. This applies to units serving a single
space or units serving multiple spaces that have similar exposures and internal loads.
Cooling coils are shown with normally closed valves. This convention is typical in cold
climates and may be different in warm climates. Actuators that fail in the current position
may be considered for some applications instead of the fail open/closed type. Edit the control
drawing to reflect the actual system.

When operating in economizer mode, the return and exhaust air paths will be required to
handle up to 100% of the system airflow as circulated only by the pressure differential
between the space and outside, unless an alternative path is defined for relief air. To avoid
over pressurization of the space, the return air, exhaust air and/or relief air duct work and
accessories must be sized appropriately.

There is no outside air economizer in this unit. This is typical of units having a hydronic
(waterside) economizer, a humidified space or in certain climate zones. Relief air (if
required) needs to be provided since this unit has no relief provisions. ASHRAE Standard
90.1 requires economizers in many applications. See examples of units with economizer in
this section if this is a desired option. There are no humidification or de-humidification

A. OVERVIEW
This sequence of control describes the direct digital control requirements for a fan coil unit with
no outside air.
Fan coil units typically do not have outside air. They only provide thermal comfort control,
and air movement they do not provide ventilation. Outside air must be delivered to the space
from another source to comply with ASHRAE Standard 62.1
climates. The concern for low temperature protection in cold climates is reduced when the
heating and cooling coils do not have direct exposure to outside air as shown in this example.

A. OVERVIEW
This sequence of control describes the direct digital control requirements for a simple variable
volume air handling system. These air-handling units are typically in the 5,000 to 15,000 cfm
range, serving multiple thermal zones, spaces and exposures.
Outside air flow rate is measured with an airflow station. The minimum outside airflow rate
is dependent on damper position which modulates and the mixed air plenum pressure. As the
CO2 concentration in a zone increases, the VAV box increases the zone airflow. Provisions
for this must be made in the VAV Box control sequence. Further increase in any zone CO2
concentration will cause the air handler to bring in more outside air up to the design
maximum amount Vot. See Appendix A of the ASHRAE Standard 62 Handbook for details.
At low supply fan speeds, the minimum outside air volume may be reduced. Consideration
should be given to other means to meet the outside air requirements at low fan speeds.
Measuring CO2 in the common return air duct is not a good indication of the CO2
concentration in any given space.
Sizing the outside air flow station is important to its ability to measure flow at low volumes
and at 100% outside air flow. Selection of accurate transmitters is also important.
The supply air static pressure is reset based on VAV box demand. The VAV boxes must send
their cooling demand to the air handler controller. The control network must have enough
speed to allow the boxes to be polled in a timely manner.
Humidification is provided; ASHRAE Standard 90.1 has specific energy conserving

requirements for humidifiers, these should be reviewed during the development of the control
sequence. Packaged humidifiers may require field interlocks to flow switches or duct
humidistats. De-Humidification is not included in this sequence. In some climate zones
outside air economizer operation may use more energy for humidification than mechanical
cooling.
Pumped coils may be desired for additional low temperature protection and turbulent flow
through the coil tubes.
In humid regions an enthalpy-based or fixed dry bulb economizer high limit shutoff should be
considered. ASHRAE standard 90.1 prohibits differential dry bulb economizer high limit

shutoff in humid climates. The high limit setpoint is prescribed by ASHRAE Standard 90.1
and should be adjusted for the climate zone of the installation.
Morning warm-up is accomplished by delivering warm air. This may not apply if all VAV
boxes have heating coils.
Pre-cool is accomplished by free cooling only.
No control of space static pressure is provided with this control sequence. The OA-RA-EA
dampers track. A more sophisticated space static pressure control may be desired. There are
various examples of space pressure control strategies in this document.
The occupancy mode of the unit could be based on the requirements of individual floors or
zones rather than the entire building.
Primary control of the space temperature is provided by adjusting the airflow volume to the
under space cooling mode and by controlling a terminal heating device under space heating
mode. AHU control modes, especially the unoccupied control modes, must be coordinated
with terminal unit control modes to provide the required airflow rates.

A. OCCUPIED MODE
1. The supply fan shall be energized. The supply air duct static pressure setpoint shall be
slowly ramped from zero to the final setpoint value after the supply fan is started. The air
handling unit supply fan speed shall modulate to maintain duct static pressure setpoint.
The supply fan speed shall not drop below 30% (adjustable) to assure adequate fan motor
cooling. The static pressure setpoint shall be reset so that at least one of the VAV boxes
is at 90% (adjustable) open.
In the event of loss of communication with one or more VAV controllers the system shall
revert to modulating the fan speed to maintain the duct static pressure setpoint of 0.75"
w.g. (adjustable). A high limit function shall reduce the supply fan speed to keep the
supply duct pressure from exceeding 1.5 inches of water regardless of the demand from
the VAV boxes. The final duct static pressure setpoint shall be determined in
consultation with the balancing contractor. When the supply fan is de-energized the
static setpoint shall be zero.
2. The heating coil valve, mixed air dampers and cooling coil valve shall modulate in
sequence to maintain supply air temperature setpoint. Provide a deadband between
heating and economizer cooling.
3. The supply air temperature setpoint shall be reset from T-min (53F) when the outside air
temperature is 70F and above, up to T-max when the outside air temperature is 65F and
below. T-max shall range from 55F to 65F. T-max shall vary such that the VAV box
with the highest cooling demand is at 90% of its cooling max setpoint. The supply air
temperature setpoint shall change slowly.
4. Economizer cooling is enabled whenever the outside air temperature is less than the

from 50% to 100% the outside airflow setpoint shall vary from Vot-min (the unoccupied
design minimum outside air quantity) to Vot (the occupied design outside air quantity).
6. The humidifier shall modulate to maintain return air humidity setpoint of 30%, subject to

space temperature is above the unoccupied setpoint + differential. The supply fan speed
shall be controlled as described in the occupied mode. When the unoccupied heating
space temperature setpoint + differential is reached, then the unit shall return to
Unoccupied Off Mode.
4. Morning Warm-up: The optimum start program shall start the unit at the latest possible
time to reach the desired occupied space temperature setpoint at occupancy time. If the
average space temperature is below the occupied space temperature setpoint, the supply

setpoint of 95F (adjustable) until the average space temperature equals the occupied
space temperature setpoint. The supply fan speed shall be controlled as described in the
occupied mode. The VAV boxes shall modulate to maintain the occupied space
temperature while the unit is delivering warm air. When the occupied space temperature
setpoint is reached, the unit shall operate in the Occupied Mode. Morning warm-up shall
occur only once in a day.
5. Morning Pre-cooling: If the month is between May and October (adjustable), the outside
air temperature is below 55F (adjustable) and the average of the three highest space
temperatures exceeds Pre-Cool Space Temperature setpoint, Morning Pre-cooling may
begin. The unit shall start in the pre-cool mode as determined by an optimum start
occupancy time. The economizer cooling mode shall modulate the outside air and return
air dampers to provide 55F (adjustable) supply air. The heating and cooling valves shall
be closed. The supply fan speed shall be controlled as described in the occupied mode.
When the average of the three highest space temperatures falls below the occupied space
temperature setpoint, the unit shall return to unoccupied mode. When the space has

A. OVERVIEW
The outside air volume is measured and the damper is modulated to maintain setpoint.
Consideration should be given to CO2 or similar override of the minimum position of the
outside air damper to meet the minimum ventilation requirements.
No control of space static pressure is provided with this control sequence. Relief for the
minimum outside air may be required elsewhere. A more sophisticated space static pressure
control may be desired.
Humidification and De-Humidification control modes are not provided.
The supply air static is not reset based on VAV box position as required by ASHRAE
standard 90.1 if the VAV boxes have DDC control. In this control sequence duct static is
maintained at a fixed setpoint.
DX system must be designed to handle low loads. The controls do not false load system.
No Economizer is provided in this system. This is typical for units in very humid areas, of
systems with a humidified space or systems with a waterside (hydronic) economizer.
ASHRAE standard 90.1 requires economizers on many system types.
Pre-cool is accomplished by mechanical cooling only.

thermal zones, spaces and exposures.
is dependent on damper position which modulates and the mixed air plenum pressure. As the
CO2 concentration in a zone increases, the VAV box increases the zone airflow. Provisions
for this must be made in the VAV Box control sequence. Further increase in any zone CO2
concentration will cause the air handler to bring in more outside air up to the design
maximum amount Vot. See Appendix A of the ASHRAE Standard 62 Handbook for details.
At low supply fan speeds, the minimum outside air volume may be reduced. Consideration
should be given to other means to meet the outside air requirements at low fan speeds.
Measuring CO2 in the common return air duct is not a good indication of the CO2
concentration in any given space.
Sizing the outside air flow station is important to its ability to measure flow at low volumes
and at 100% outside air flow. Selection of accurate transmitters is also important.
Humidification and de-humidification control modes are not provided.
In arid regions a dry bulb based economizer should be considered. ASHRAE Standard 90.1
prescribes the type of economizer for each climate zone.

This sequence controls the fans and dampers with a set of feedback loops that interact
mechanically. It is likely that proper system performance will depend on adjustment of these
loops by a skilled control technician. Sizing of the exhaust and return damper affect the
ability to control the pressurization. If the fans are large, static pressure safeties may be
desired in the mixed air plenum.

multiple thermal zones, spaces and exposures.
A constant minimum outside air volume is provided. This is useful in facilities with a
consistent number of people in the facility. The outside air volume is measured and the
damper is modulated to maintain setpoint. At low fan speeds the mixed air plenum pressure
may not be low enough to draw in the required outside air volume. The sizing the flow
element to allow flow measurement at minimum airflow while not having too much pressure
drop at maximum airflow is important.
A fixed temperature high limit economizer is provided in this system. ASHRAE Standard
90.1 defines which climate zones this type of economizer is permitted.
No pre-cool sequence is provided for this unit. If the pre-cool sequence is desired see
examples in other systems in this manual.
If there is not hot gas bypass on the lead compressor there may be problems maintaining
supply air temperature and compressor issues at low airflows.

is dependent on damper position which modulates and the mixed air plenum pressure which
is controlled with the return air damper. As the CO2 concentration in a zone increases, the
VAV box increases the zone airflow. Provisions for this must be made in the VAV Box
control sequence. Further increase in any zone CO2 concentration will cause the air handler
to bring in more outside air up to the design maximum amount Vot. See Appendix A of the
ASHRAE Standard 62 Handbook for details. Measuring CO2 in the common return air duct
is not a good indication of the CO2 concentration in any given space.
Sizing the outside air flow station is important to its ability to measure flow. Selection of
accurate transmitters is also important.
