This is a summary report: of building energy studies on basic control strategies applied to airhandling systems of four different buildings in six climatic regions. The building energy program BLAST is used to simulate commonly used air-handling systems for two office buildings, a school, and a retail store. The results of the cooling and the heating energy consumption of these buildings are presented and compared. The energy effects of various economy cycles and temperature resetting strategies applied to reheat, variable air volume, dual-duct, and other systems are discussed.
