<p class="MsoNormal">Does anyone know, particularly through having claims accepted by GBCI, whether the ASHRAE App G VAV fan curve is supposed to represent a fan system with or without static pressure reset. I always thought it was supposed to represent a system
with sp reset, conforming to 6.5.3.2.3. However, most of the curve power values are even higher than curves representing VAV/VFD systems without sp reset. A confusing aspect is that compared to other VFD fan curves, the power values are high at high flows,
but low at low flows, even going to zero at zero flow, though that is really meaningless.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As an aside, the 2013 Title 24 ACM now defines fan curves for central VAV systems with and without sp reset, taken from Taylor’s VAV design guide. SP reset is the “baseline” or “standard.”A<o:p></o:p></p>
