This article quantifies energy benefit of DOAS + chilled beam architecture compared to conventional VAV system across five Indian climate zones (Hot-Humid, Hot-Dry, Composite, Mild, Cold) for a 5,000 m² reference office. OpenStudio + EnergyPlus simulations show DOAS + chilled bea…
The mixed-air AHU is the default Indian commercial HVAC architecture. In Chennai’s warm-humid climate, it is also the worst-fit architecture for guestroom comfort, IAQ, and energy efficiency. This cas
This is the kind of project that does not show up in mepwork.com’s catalogue: a real BPO floor in Mumbai with documented humidity creep complaints, a measured psychrometric mismatch, a brownfield retr
In a hot-humid Indian climate, the outdoor air load can be 50-70% latent (moisture). Traditional all-air HVAC systems handle both sensible and latent at the same coil — at deep dewpoint requirements (
